Approx. 30% of all players drafted........

Approx. 30% of all players drafted will never play an A.F.L. game. Another 30% will be lucky if they play 30 games. Therefore Congratulations Belly for making it to 50 this week against Carlton. Here's hoping the whole team lifts and has a good one.

Just Like we did for Jnr's 200th..

Well Done Belly, you deserve your spot because you work hard, I just hope that someday that will translate into a more consistant performace.

Yep, i would rather another slow midfeilder, just what we need..

I Like daniel Bell, and like the rest of his teammates, they are struggling for confidence.. so hang in their, and well played for 50 games!

bell was a pick 14 though wasn't he?...i'm pretty sure about 90% of injury-free draft picks in the top 20 would play an afl game

serious? what is he now? like 32? 33? belly has 10 years ahead of him. if we had woey right now, he would be getting paid to play for sandy and would be out with the bathwater at the end of this season when the rest of them retired.

And just look at that faux-blonde's coaching record in the WAFL so far this year, a very Melbourne like 0-4.

Well done to Daniel Bell, he's overcome some serious injuries (that finger injury), and some serious personal traumas (losing his mate Troy) as well as an early battle with believing in his ability to make it, thus he thoroughly deserves his moment in the sun this weekend. And yeah lets hope we can win for him!

Would love to see how Belly would go in the forward line, he has a bit of pace and as a flanker he would be hard to match up on. I sometimes feel that he is wasted in the back line.

If we'd traded Yze, you'd prefer to still have him.

Bell puts in the effort every week, in a tough role.

And he has a hundred games left to go.

I have huge respect for Daniel Bell and I'm stoked that he's now a deserved regular in our 22, and will likely make it to his 100th game in about half the time it took him to get to fifty.

GO BELLY!

Im suprised hes only played 50. Feels like hes been around alot longer than that.

ONYA BELLY!

Id be interested in seeing those %'s as they relate to MFC compared to the competition as a whole :lol:

Anyways congrats Belly, lets hope ya put in a blinder, and the boys smash the tanking cardboard cartels

Interesting Thread

The ammount of players who play 5 games or under from all team lists is astonishing

Demon all time playing list shows a few interesting facts

300 games and over we have just one (David Neitz)

200 games and over we have 22 which includes 5 current players

100 games and over we have had little over 120 demons represent us

This indicates how hard it is to recruit a player who can give good service for 5 - 6 seasons let alone find a 10 year champion

I hope Belly lifts for himself and has a good one!

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
