Might need Bill Gates to help

Surely they send Viney for surgery ASAP to get this sorted for the longer term. Don’t turn it into another Spargo saga.

Achilles isn’t a foot injury?

I took it as they wanted a 20 minute video rather than the contents… could be wrong though

There’s still a chance he will be there round 1

First time poster? Welcome Pennant 😝

Told you not to panic 😜

Well yeah but that’s what you get with a known quantity vs a draftee who could turn out the same but no guarantee

no one knows that yet. Bummer though that he’s injured

I would prefer Humphrey. Ready to go, has already shown a very high ceiling and could be our next petracca but a better kick.

True. Well this is somewhere Steve Smith can help the club. If we can convert all of these MCC to Melbourne members then I’d love to know what our total number comes in at.

Well we also lost Petracca and Oliver, who outside of Viney were our other two main midfielders. So we had to get some sort of leadership/depth to cover that.

I’d love to know how many members we are missing through this. From my understanding, an AFL member chooses their club alignment at no extra cost.

Keen to hear from any MCC members. What is the cost to be a joint MCC/MFC member?

Yeah I think it’s Tommy Matthew’s who’s the close mate

You may have been. What was your team name?

There should’ve been an email sent to you. What was your team name?

Were you in the competition last year? I sent out email invites to all existing coaches, has anything come into your junk mail?

Cheers. We’ve now got 13/18 in the league. I actually don’t remember which team won! I’ll try keep track of it better moving forward.

It should’ve come through in an email I think and could be in junk mail. If not I can send you the link

There was another poster who used to run multiple leagues and did a bit of a relegation/promotion like the English premier league. I’d be happy to setup a second league with 18 teams and then we can do something like that if there’s enough interest?

Hello all. I will be running a Demonland SuperCoach league again for 2026 and we currently have 10 teams who have already joined from last year. If you know you were in this league last year and never got the email invite please let me know and I can invite you manually. If we don’t have everyone re-join then I will be adding new members to have the full 18 teams. Thanks.

GF day would be the biggest you would think

Without knowing how they decide who’s an A or B, I would’ve thought this would be our list in no particular order: Gawn, K Pickett, Lever (when fit), Bowey, Salem, Fritsch, Steele, Viney and Rivers. You could also make a case for Melksham, McDonald, Chandler, May and Mihocek but I’ve left them out for now. So that gives us 9 players in that category, but I’d only give Gawn and Pickett an A. The other thing this doesn’t take into account players who could be an A or B by the end of the season such as JVR, Turner, Langford, Lindsay, L Pickett and Windsor. I think it’s really hard to get a read on how we will go this year. We could surprise a few or we could struggle with the new game plan. I’ll enjoy the ride though.

Yeah I wouldn’t do it for ever, but if over the next 10 years we can add 10k-20k members using that strategy long term we may get some rusted on members out of it
