Is there an echo in here?

Happy to hear this. Need all the leadership we can get.

I almost beat Peter Ryan in my defence

    Couldn't agree more re the leadership situation (same goes for Tmac), but also, while I know Milkshake has his detractors (on this forum at least) I am rapt he stays on for his footy smarts, skills and forward line marshalling. We are always better with him in the side, and miss him greatly when he isn't. And good on him for being rewarded for staying the course - he could have easily run up the white flag with that knee. A class act...

    Are all those that kept saying he was only getting a game because he is mate of Goodwins' or that he has photo's of Goodwin in previous years going to support this, the hypocrites will of course.

    Absolutely fair and with several outgoing players it looks like depositing are done which is one very small but good side effect of Nibbler, Gus horrors! Then Brown retiring & Tommo moving on with KFW & JS delisted were prob basically done with Hore waiting til end of trade period to hear his fate. Smith obviously still on list which seems a mute point to me now but if allowed to play next year I guess it makes sense but that while mess id rather just see forget the whole thing tbh. Hunter id expected to hear about by now but think surely that’s on cards.
     

    Continuity of list is a VERY good thing..

    To be honest, our depth is so poor, we are in no position to be pensioning off the likes of Melksham and T Mac. It's not a slight on these two, but we have noone coming through the ranks to challenge them for a place in the team.

    It was a no brainer that Melksham and T Mac would be given another year.

    Very happy to have Jake Melksham commit to another year he and TMac provide strength of character experience and leadership to our group.

    Great signing. Really improved our forward line when he came back into the side with his field kicking, goal assists, and on field leadership. I know it's highly unlikely, but gee I'd love to see Melk win a flag.

    I think his detractors have shrunk over the journey.

    Fully behind Melk getting an extension, our fwd line functions better when he’s up there and just a great person to have around a team that feels like is starting to skew younger.

    Happy with this. Do we know if he stays on as a rookie or back on the main list?

    Agree with the “one more year”.  Mainly because our erosion of depth and Melksham can help guide others.  I think he stays on a lower dollar contract based more on games played.  Definitely the forward line looked more potent with him in the team and his kicking for goal is elite (unlike most others).

    IMO a good signing.   
    Experience.
    Leadership.  
    Poise.  
    Skills. 
    And he has really only had a couple of months of match day battering this year that should leave him quite a bit fresher than many of his team mates and opponents.

    I would be looking at him playing this year with a view to a Coaching post if it can be done in a later time.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
