Hi Binman I think that it would be a good move for you to contact Steven directly with your thoughts and ability to back it up. Perhaps a sub committee that reports directly into the Executive Directors so that they are informed and in tune more closely with the supporter base. Undeniably they really need to be more closely aligned with the paid up members of our mighty club.

Agree Pates we really need to try and get Gus re involved in our great ( bruised and battered ) club, he would be a real tonic particularly interviewing all our youngsters and new arrivals. So well respected in the footy community, golf clinics, club functions, etc, personality and charisma personified.

Looks like the player we are missing up forward the “Big Unit”, could be handy in 2-3 years time when we start to come good.

Now that you are officially a Demon, Welcome aboard Oscar Berry, hope the memories come flooding back Aberfeldie B&F playing “Aussie Rules” junior football. 23yo 6’4”, decent basketballer, educated, good pedigree 😁, another 194cm player on the list, we were way to short in “22-23”. Thanks daisycutter😁👍

You are probably correct Demonology but great leaders rarely need to tear shreds off members of the group, a stare, touch on the shoulder an encouraging word is more Max’s style, taking someone into their inner sanctum to stop them wheel spinning in public. His strengths far outweigh his weaknesses and I wasn’t reacting to your comments so much as a number of others that made unsubstantiated references to Max’s behaviour on and off the field.👍

Loved Gus and Gawney bringing in all the new players and sharing the limelight with Ed, Kade and Ben Gibson, felt like we were in the loop. There has been a lot of change around the club and a hell of a lot of new Melbourne talent to be exposed to the MFC audience

In my mind and statistically we more than held our own in ‘21-‘23 NC.

And yet we had the best midfield for three years in a row lead by this man who everyone is now trying to pick apart.

That is exceptional Whispering_Jack and in part quite moving, ending with the Adele “Someone like you” followed by the TS parody including the words that Ghostwriter noted regarding Jim Stynes.

I’m getting a vibe for Greeves and Farrow???

Last year I was really sold on Langford and would have been really disappointed if we had missed out on him and SONS and W_J sold me on Xavier Lindsey, I’m not really picking up any vibes on 7 & 8 (11 - 12)after the 4 F/S, Academy boys. Thank goodness we have JT sifting through the remnants but I must say teams picking up so much early quality is really starting to annoy me.

I found it a great read from someone who has been there and actually been through the whole process twice. It’s a lot to grasp and you just hope that we have all the necessary resources to manage a smooth changeover after nine years. A lot depends on Smith, Guerra, SK and Richo and our remaining senior players ( who I have a lot of confidence in ). If all goes well it would be a great result to finish 9th - 12th year one. My confidence has grown as they continue to bring quality people just hope we can continue to improve our list over the next two years.

Max explained to the MMM crew the other day that they are in full running training at the moment and that the bulk of the running will be completed when they get back for preseason so that the footies come out on Day 1. Surprised me a bit, he also mentioned that he does the majority of his running on bitumen or concrete rather than grass and has done for a number of years now.

He’s super fast DeeSpencer and if Sam has come out of Wenty he will be quite tough.👍😁

That was very much like the Dockers game in the last quarter we couldn’t buy a goal.

Hopefully we can bring Brisbane back down to earth, should be a great game. Go Dees.👍❤️💙

Forget Robey and get Greeves in, at least we will have a chance with him.

CJ really looks the goods in our colours, pretty sure our new coaching group will work with him to get the absolute best out of him. Can’t wait to see him bursting forward, ball in hand big smile on his face. Looking good CJ.👍

Thanks RT Jacob is a real ball magnet, takes a good mark and can hit targets.

It all sounds great trading up but I prefer 4 first rounders over the next two years, I trust JT and we are going to lose a few next year and look what can happen when you have picks up your sleeve and some spare coin in the bin.

Thanks LH I think that the fact that Tracc withdrew from all Commercial arrangements including 360 and changing his Manager clearly shows that Christian had already set his course for a change of clubs at the end of ‘25. And to his credit he went to the only club that could achieve a head moving Offer for him and for that I thank him. We gave up lot of history 2021-2023 and we received three first rounders to help rejuvenate our club and he will always be a Legend of MFC.

You are possibly correct DJ but I’m hoping that Steven King and Co will meld our existing and future teams into an exciting competitive group that finally delivers a team that is always in contention and all other teams will have to worry about keeping their stars from the dreaded Demon behemoth. 😁👍

I am really hopeful that Dub Dee’s forward projection is quite achievable, I was wondering (to myself) how the team react and respond to two of our midfield bulls disappearing so suddenly. How will it effect team roles and structure, who will step up who will really enjoy the extra freedom, etc because Kozzy and JV are now our only two fully established mids that know and understand their roles. Jack Steele is a known quality In and I’m hopeful that Trent Rivers, Ed Langdon, Kade Chandler, Harvey Langford, Xavier Lindsay, Caleb Windsor, Koltyn Tholstrup, Harry Sharp, Tom Sparrow and Jai Culley all see and jump at the opportunity to become better players and teammates. Kysaiah ( Kozzie ) Pickett will continue to grow and thrive in the new environment, I can’t wait to see all the changes take effect.

Are these the same people who wouldn’t sign up again if Goody wasn’t sacked, maybe we still need a bit more of a clean out Or mindset change of a minority of our Supporters. I for one have just renewed three premium memberships for 2026 which will be our 28th consecutive year as members. I am just hopeful that my health holds up to reach my 30th (just celebrated my 80th) and by the way I was a Goodwin supporter right to the end.

Goodnight goodbye arrivedeci, sayonara until we meet again Mr. Humphrey.
