Best MFC team in last 50 years
I can't really comment given I was born in early 80s. One guy who had a great career but was cut short due to a knee injury was Anthony Ingerson. One of the better half backs I can recall. Was rarely beaten and had great endurance. Not sure if he makes the cut for many, but I have fond memories of him playing. Just thought he could be foot noted as an honorable mention.

Sam Weideman Re-signs Until 2021
Eddie wanted him at Collingwood. Never questioned anything to do with Weideman or his ability.

Bryce Gibbs
Karma for bending us over for Lever. I hope he rots in the sanfl while he eats into their salary cap for the next two seasons.

Sam Weideman Re-signs Until 2021
Look, let's celebrate what this signing really means. It means Eddie McGuire doesn't get what he wants bringing the "Weideman Bloodline" back to Collingwood. Suck a fat one Eddie!

Oskar Baker
Reminds me a bit if when Jayden Hunt burst onto the scene. Hunt took 2 years to get going due to injury and form, and Baker had a similar start with his first year. Like most inexperienced players they have their ups and downs, and Baker will be no different. Like Hunt, I see him being able to carve a spot out in our best 22. You can't teach speed, and the modern game needs speedy players.

The Six Figure Hunt for a New AFL Logo

I can understand the temptation given he probably only has a one to two year window to play alongside his brother.- Jordan Lewis To Retire this Year
Leader or not Lewis has good footy experience and a good brain for the game. His experience has contributed to the current group As the saying goes "father time is undefeated". Lewis can't defeat father time, the game is now passed him by physically. Mentally he still has lots to offer. I wish him well.- Biggest Surprise & Disappointment of 2019
Surprise: Hunt. Many were calling for him to be traded last year and he wasn't a clear best 22. He is now one of our best forwards and looks like he has cemented his spot in our best team. Disappointment: How could it be anyone other than May? Gave up plenty on the trade table for him only for his name to be splashed across media for being out of shape. Then he gets hurt. To cap it off gets his teammates offside by having a cheeky ale whilst on rehab. I really hope he turns it around.- Max Gawn's season
Gawn>Grundy and that is no slight towards Grundy who is a phenomenal player. It's just that Gawn is just smashing opposition ruckman into Oblivion each and every week.- CHANGES: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Not keen on rushing Lever back. Hannan looked miles off the pace and would have benefited from time at Casey. Outs: Omac, Spargo, JKH In: May, Salem, Hore- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
The season is shot so I'm not opposed to seeing what he can do with a few more games in the seniors. It's not like we have a bunch of kids kicking the door down to take his spot (maybe a Sparrow type if we go down the path of gifting games). As for Spargos selection at 29, there wasn't a heap of standout players selected outside the top 30 in that 2017 draft. McCartin, Langdon are handy players and there are a few more. Spargo is also still only 19, so he might still be able to elevate his game (even if he is on the small side).- Time to go Oscar!
He is contracted until the end of season 2020 so unless a trade partner can be found he will be around next season. At this point I'd almost throw him forward in the vfl and see how he goes. He played some junior footy forward so it wouldn't hurt to see if he can help our forward depth in 2020. We can rule out the backline for him as a suitable place to play.- POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs Adelaide
Forget selling this home game to Darwin nonsense. The crowd was clearly heavily supporting the crows. Could have sworn on the telecast it was being played in Adelaide.- CASEY: Rd 9 vs Werribee Tigers
Anyone know where a live web stream might be available? I'm keen to watch this and heading to the ground isn't an option.- WELCOME TO DEMONLAND KYLE DUNKLEY
There is a whopping list clean out coming so Dunkley might have landed in a great position at the Demons. Good Luck to the kid!- Brad Scott sacked
Scott would be preferable to Troy Chaplain surely....... Fire sale coming out of norf, list rebuild is imminent.- Round 10 Non MFC Games
- Future Father-Sons/Daughters
Just keep Jeff White's kids away from Stephen King's kids!!!!- Is this 1987 all over again?
Our percentage reminds me of 1997..... I shudder at the memories of 1997. Honestly we are not playing finals this season, our percentage is diabolical.- The 2019 Mid Season Draft
Grabbing a teenager with upside might pay dividends down the track. Hirst looks a good selection if he is on the board.- Changes vs GW$ Giants
In: Preuss, C. Wagner, Sparrow Out: A.N.B (injured), T. Smith (injured), Stretch (omitted) I think Salem might be ok to go. Other two with knocks look set to miss. Most posters on here have summed up Billy really well so his omission is no surprise. Corey was solid for Casey, and Sparrow has been doing what's been asked of him at Casey. Given our horrendous injury list they are the next names ready to be called. Preuss doesn't require explanation, get him in.- Oskar Baker
His awareness should increase with experience meaning he will get caught with the footy less and find some space to break the game open. Some encouraging signs from him. Would like to see him retained for another game.- My 3 word player analysis V West Coast
Frost - becoming more valuable Hore - bye bye Lewis We are missing Lever, May, Lewis, Hibbo and Jets from the back half, I have to give credit to Hore and Frost who have been really solid the past few weeks. If our full backline was available I'm wondering if Hore has gone past others for a spot in the best 22. He is getting better by the week.- Not sticking up for Max
I hope Goodwin talks about this during his review. Can't let this stuff happen. - Zak Jones
