Should've kept Ferguson

Featured Replies

 

I disagree, he's had enough time to prove himself and at his age he's not going to bulk up any further.

Time came, time passed. Never up to it. A poor man's Troy Broadbridge.

Time to get real for our club or spend another 43 years wishing and hoping.

 

Terrible thread.

Terrible thread.

I think since he is the latest player to go it looks like we might try to get Lance.

They were never going to clear him I don't think until they found out Lance is out from the Blues.


I cant believe we got rid of him. He always found form then do a Whelan.

He's a skinny 26yo with poor skills and courage his only asset, that's why...

courageous act and not a bad player, maybe should of given him one more year.

Why? What have you missed over the past five years?

Absolute bollocks.

Agree.He was not up to AFL.

..yeah right get rid of a player who cant put on the pounds for a player who cant shed the pounds

If we get lance whitnall, it would be a giant step back for the club. They say he has a good footy brain... obviously not good enough if he cant understand that you need to be fit to play the game.


he was always a depth player - unable to establish himself as a senior footballer.

he played the final six games of the year and beat westhoff and kennedy - both players with years and pre-seasons ahead of them.

was a good servant of the footy club and also of the alliance with sandringham..

from the hills of Belgrave where he played with the brothers, he achieved something a hell of a lot of other people would like to say they did - play AFL footy!!

Very true. Something that's probably forgotten at times when supporters are writing players off as duds.

It is sad to see him go - the poor guy seemed to get injured as soon as he began to get hopes up. I dunno, I would've given him one more year.

But it's not a decision I'm going to agonise about - he was right on the line of keep-or-delist for a very long time.

Best wishes to him, and not only does he get to say he played AFL, but he can also say that he would've had a much better career except he was cruelled by injury.

And he earnt people's respect.

Again the same old guys with the same old comments that prolly never understand the game let alone run out on a footy field


but then again Yze is as hard and tuff as they come ehh :blink:

I think you'll find the guys on this thread that are supporting the clubs decision to delist Ferguson:

a) respect the courage Ferguson showed on the football field;

B) thank Ferguson for his efforts over the past 5 years;

AND

c) condemn Yze for his less than convincing efforts over the past couple of seasons.

There are better ways of doing it...Some just show there true colours

Certainly couldn't question the courage of Fergs!

Was knocked around a fair bit with injuries too, with a couple of shoulder recos, and also being cleaned up by Sylvia didn't help him.

I recall a standout game he had against the Bombers at the start of 2005 where he would have been close to BOG.

Could easily have been given one more year, but not surprised he wasn't.

Hope he gets picked up by another club.

Good luck for the future Fergs, and thanks for giving the MFC your best!

Unfortunately, this is the fact..never really improved at any level. Time to go.....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
