Darcy Parish is also uncontracted this year. I know Goody was a massive fan in his junior days and even spent some time venturing doen to Geelong to watch some of his TAC cup games live.

So he should, nothing in it snd its a joke that he got 1 week.

Of course he will. If it was Max Gawn who did this exact injury he would be out for 12 years

Thank [censored] you are not running our list management. Couldnt think of a worse choice.

Personally i think this has been a bit of an overreaction, how easily people forget last year we were one of the most intimidating teams going around. It was 1 game... We will be back to our intimidating best this weekend.

Funnily enough and to your surprise i actually don't dislike the bloke. Would take a lot for me to dislike someone on here. He says things i dont agree with and i say things he doesnt agree with. Do i lose sleep over it? No lol He has self confessed that he goes out of his own way to deliberately bait people on here, which is also fine because we've all done it.. but i am sure you personally skim over that and dont take notice of what he does. If you actually ask the bloke, i am sure he doesnt take anything personally i say, we bait each other and sometimes might even find agreeing with each other on certain issue which might also come as a suprise to you? Relax mate, you've carried on a little bit here. .....

Wow!!!

Making out like he is some big hierarchy thats an advocate for us supporters on here. I honestly think they just say that just to take the [censored] out of him. There is no way a professional organisation would say to a die hard nerd supporter to keep this kind of information confidential.. He got caught out lying about the Andrew Gaff scenario last year. Then went into hiding after he was caught out. In regards to the Jones situation, if Sparrow had nailed that goal then i dont think this would be a serious discussion point. I am backing Jones to have a big one. I also do believe that he still needs to have moments as an inside midfielder. Does his best work in close, but also at times we are exposing his lack of speed put on a wing.

Paul Amy @PaulAmy375 Won't be a surprise if Jay Lockhart earns a debut for Melbourne after an excellent outing for Casey Demons in the practice match against Box Hill Hawks. The tough Tasmanian was a late addition to the rookie list. He's a rising player.

@Moonshadow

I wish i could, moved to Albury now mate. I did a couple of sessions last year where i didn't hold back on player critique. If its there you call it right? I wasn't one to kiss players [censored] at training and talk about what soccer team they followed.

What a waste of a read that was.

I dont think Dave Misson will be missed....

Put your hand up if you immediately knew who started this thread well before you even opened it.. ?‍♂️

Puts things in a bit more perspective. While many think we are premiership contenders, its easy to forget we are still a fairly young and inexperienced side who is still growing on field. Proves we are still going to have teething problems this year.

Biz was brilliant and underrated in so many ways. I remember his 2nd and 3rd desperation efforts down the members wing in the semi final against adelaide back in 2002. And now a passionate Melbourne supporter now days!

Wouldnt it be good though if Oscar actually became the quality once in a while? Sick of players relying on others to make them look good. I remember early on a 188cm Clint Bizzell would play CHB on the power forwards and beat them hands down. And this is around the period where Bizzell at certain stage in his career was our number 1 defender.

Been saying for years on here that Oscar is a scrubber. He is pretty much our own version of Zac Dawson who will probably cruise to 150 games spudding it up each weekend. I wish Goodwin grew a set and actually drops him once in a blue moon. Petty showed more in his game against Richmond then Odcar has his whole career.

He was looking proppy even just warming up pre game. Someone had mentioned he was 'Trengove pace' all game. Fair to say that comment is pretty much spot on. Looked slow and didn't crash in like he did around finals time last year. Is it Jack's decision to play or the coaching staff? Who knows.. but right now he either needs a month off or just continual match fitness.

To be honest its actually pretty [censored] poor we have to rely on the fine contribution by our fellow demonlanders by going down and doing a report because our MFC website department is useless.

Read a comment on facebook that Preuss was quite, but Keilty and Baker played real well.

@Drunkn167 great report. Such a pitty about Petty because i would have him come in straight swap for McDonald. I'm hoping Baker debuts soon. Dec would also be very close to debut you would think?

The positives for me were Salem Wagner and Sparrow. Salem is a star in the making in my eyes. I cant wait until he reaches the 100 game mark. Looks incredibly fit and is set for a big year. Wagner worked his way into it with some nice tackles and used his speed well. I would like to see him line up on a wing once we get Garlet back because he has the speed and gut running we definitely need on the outside. There's definitely something to work with there. Sparrow was the surprise packet for. His JLT games were pretty unimpressive and i just thought he wasnt ready. But he showed great compure and hardness and surprisingly used the ball well. Solid lad for sure, i would like to see him rotate through the midfield at some stage once he gets some games under his belt.

Oscar Baker and KK are two i am quite interested today. I feel like their run and drive will be crucial for our line up over the next few weeks. Hope Preuss plays well also.

Instead if drafting VFL or NEAFL half back flankers, its time our recruiters put some work on recruiting quick outside midfielder or speedy elusive small forwards. Cannot continue to stock up on inside mids or half back flanker every single year. Watching someone like Zac Butters completely out run our more senior mids was embarrassing. Unless its a big name star that we can potentially bring over, our first round pick needs to go to the draft this year.
