Spot on. You can tell with the new recruits they will play a huge role in our resurgance up the ladder. Unlike the likes of Rodan Byrnes Gillies Terlich and Jones who were there on the short term.

First it was reportong on the Port Mlebourne v Casey game yesterday and now James Brayshaw WJ? Just dusting off the cobwebs im guessing WJ haha

They will be asking for a first rounder and a player. It would be a huge get but we would be giving up alot for him.

Mark Jamar. Not getting enough kudos for his ruckwork. Turned back the clock to 2010 and i thought he was seriously huge in our stoppage work and clearence. GC tried to overwork jamar with Smith and Gorringe but he stood up to the task and beat them both hands down. A lion hearted effort.

After driving home from listening to the game I thought back to this time 2 years ago when we got absolutely thumped by Port Adelaide only to back it up week later with the 146 point drubber from the drug cheats.Our new recruits Rodan, Pedersen, Gillies, Byrnes, Jones, Terlich showed that they were never going to be part of the future but instead set out list back. This club was in turmoil, Demonland was in meltdown and our club was drawing comparisons to the Fitzroy extinction. We had a board level that was in tatters which resulted in Cam Schwab getting sacked. Our coach was under extreme pressure and we had two young captains in Grimes and Trengove trying to lead us out of this mess. Player development was just all over the place. There was no direction or structure and it felt this club was close to being the next Fitzroy. And then to top it all off the Tacking fine we copped aswell... Fast forward two years later and i felt that yesterday was a dawn of a new era. We now have a stable and strong board level led by the very successful Peter Jackson who has brought in the right people to lead this club forward. We have a strong coaching structure led by the master himself Paul Roos who has surrounded himself with the best young development coach in the league in Brendan McCartney and Simon Goodwin ready to step in when Roosy step aside. We have now some of the best up and coming talent in the competition starting to come through in Hogan, Brayshaw, Viney, Tyson, Salem with Kent JKH and Frost closing by. We now have an exciting and fast game plan with that great Roos defensive trait still there. Our new recruit Lumumba, Newton, Frost, Garlet all made a big contribution and showed that they will be great pick ups for the year and beyond. Oh and we beat a side that everyone tipped to certainty make top 8 and potentially challange a top 4 spot. We have come a long way since that terrible time. Yesterday was like a huge burdan had been lifted off from the MFC shoulders. I can only see the club go up and forward from here now. I know i tipped the club to finish bottom 3 again but im eating my humble pie for breakfast atm. Keep playing the way did yesterday every week and we could seriously shake the competition up. So is this what its like to support a real AFL club.

Thats Jesses warm up routine before he runs out.

He still dominated to the point where in one game he racked up 37 disposals. So your point of not able to dominate against his age group is just downright wrong. And of course he was picked on his SANFL senior form because he was a ztep above his own age group! Do you think he would be playing seniors for 2 years in the sanfl if he couldn't get a kick in his own age group?Again if your going to wack a bloke for the sake of it atleast have a good enough reserch to back it up.

Most ridiculous thing i have read.Im sure Toumpas is a fine young man who is old enough to handle whatever hurdle is put in front of him

Kudos to all the MFC faithful who made it sound like there was 60 000 people there! When HL and Newton kicked those goals the roar of the crowd was just epic! Can see why both these guys when ape [censored] after they kicked their goals. Amazing stuff and well done!

Will never admit it but.

Toumpas wasn't averaged against his own age group. He was an All Australian on baller during the under 18 championships.Do your research first before wacking the kid.

Im nearly in tears. Haven't felt like this for 10 years..

Cmon dees!!

F@#@king CMON!!

Just on Gold Coast Jeager O Meara has been stretched off from a NEAFL match with what looks like a serious knee injury. His career could be on the line here.

Garlett the sub for Gold Coast.

Hows bernie vince going?

This article from Martin Flanagan on our skipper is brilliant. Just shows what a humble and loyal person Chunky is. He will go down as one of the great MFC players of all time. You also get an insight into the strong relationship he has with Roosy and even Goodwin as well. Nathan Jones the pulse of Melbourne Football Club

Solid lad alright.Just needs a bit more conditioning and he will be a serious unit for a midfielder.

Anyone notice how Brayshaw's debut has gotten much media attention. You hear about the likes of De Goey and Heeney but nothing from Brayshaw which i think is fantastic considering the media had always pumped our high draft picks ala Jack Watts etc. I like it like this.

Its a good side but wouldn't say its the best since 2007..

Dylan Grimes having an absolute stinker!

Wow i actually thought Grimes form wasn't that bad. Interesting selections.

Australian comedians are not that funny in general. Most of them are cringe worthy to listen to.

No she left early last year.She is now based in Sydney.
