Can't be said he wasn't handy/v good at points last year, so there's that to be thankful for. 

For whatever reason, fitness included I guess, there was little value this year and lots of mystery. I'm guessing the mods will be all over this one today haha, but yeah see ya! Not sure he truly ever lived up to his potential, but he's not alone in this respect. 

Thankful for the spot this frees up, and the (hopefully) renewed, laser focus on success/new starts next year. 

I think this is another step in the right direction, in this case out the door.

Why do dees fans hate the bloke so much?

apparently he stopped jj cementing his spot as a spare parts player for us as opposed to a hard tag half forward for the bloods

we gave up nothing for him fwiw

good player, not a great player

 

Godspeed to the mods with this thread this afternoon.

Season 2 Good Luck GIF


Helped us in 2023 by providing a useful wing option. Actually averaged 3 more touches a game than Langdon.

His game against Carlton in the semi was underrated IMO.

But yeah, clearly went on one year too many, and never got started after that calf issue.

Probably won't go down as a Demon great.

Hardly Hunter's fault the coaches didn't rate Jordon.

Don’t ask questions that will get people banned for answering 

Good player and good luck to him in whatever comes next, but from the perspective of our list management, this is a good result for the club and our fans. Another spot free for draftees or trade target.

He clogged our list playing the most insipid brand of soft, slow, zero kicking penetration, miles out the back footy you’ll ever see for one year and then doing nothing in the second year. 

Strangely went ok in the finals considering what he served up week to week.

I don’t hate him, and I have no evidence to suggest he wasn’t professional during his time at Melbourne, but I hate the decision to get him. It was a move in the complete wrong direction from what we needed.


Was a smart pickup in 2023 and gave us a genuine winger opposite Langdon, allowing Brayshaw to move back into the middle. This year age, injury and who knows what else got the better of him, but thanks for pulling on the red and blue. 

So one less continuing player who played in the greatest AFL game of the 21st century.

Msg me privately and I can give you my reason. 

LH, congratulations.

On a side note however,

”Lachie Hunter calls his time at the take red blue take a look a look back at his time at the club.”

MFC app.

Who is responsible for this rubbish?

Quality matters, even in the Office.

MFC, please employ people with at least Grade 4 ability.

 

Where does that leave us list spot wise and how many spots?


Good player, but wrong sort of winger for us. We needed, and still need, more of a speed merchant.

Schache. 
Brown. 
Hunter. 
Tomlinson. 
Brayshaw? (possibly supplanted by Kentfield)

Think can add Smith and KFW to the list and Hore is still in limbo. So I think we currently have 6 spots to fill with a call to be made on Hore. 

That’s assuming we don’t resign Tommo
 

 

Just couldn't get going with injuries. 

But I thought we were getting a better player than what we got. 

But best of luck with your future Lachie.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
