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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
