It has to be a joke surely, homesick kid leaves his Premiership mates to go home, he’s not coming back.✋👎

We were out all afternoon and had visitors last night so I was just sneaking a look at the player stats during the game, I thought that Chandler and Disco must have been injured as their stats weren’t moving like everyone else’s. I watched the game when everyone left. Surprised that no one is mentioning Steven May, he was brilliant as was Salem, Tracc, Clayton, Mr Ed, Max and Spaz. Bowey’s turnovers really stood out as they cost us dearly, as did Billings lack of finishing skills, what was Fritta thinking. His job is finishing. Windsor, Lindsay, Langford, Sharpe and AJ will all be better for the run. We sorely missed Rooey, Petty, TMac and Judd McVee. Let’s hope that Jack Henderson can step up to the plate. The big takeaway for me is our fitness, we ran the game out in 32+ degree heat on the other side of the country and had 14 shots for goal in the last quarter but only managed 5.9. We won all the contested KPI’s and had 63 inside 50’s, we are on the way back. 😁👍

You really have to love Brad Green, not only a champion player (who could forget his brilliance against Carlton in that qualifying final in 2000) a great captain, a committed Melbourne person and now an inspirational, generous and thoughtful President. Bravo Brad Green.❤️💙

Not necessarily they are not like for like, AJ is Ruck/Fwd, to provide a chop out for Max. 😁👍

A big thanks to Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and Harvey Wallbanger plus all posters and special comments. Really looking forward to seeing how the boys go this weekend in our last preseason hit out.😁👍

Stop it you’re killing me ✋. Let’s fret when or if it happens. Freo and Weagles aren’t the Godfathers of AFL.

I was there as well didn’t we set a new record for poor attendance at Telstra Dome, exceptionally poor turnout even for then.!!

I think it will come down to how Jai continues to perform in the Casey midfield, but if he regains his former touch he provides coverage for our three big mids in Tracc, Clayton and Riv plus Langford. Virtually an Ace in the hole.!!

No I don’t think he is fighting for Spaz’s spot Roost it far, Tommy is smaller and faster and is now battle hardened and I am expecting him to get a bigger role going forward. Jai is a much bigger unit at 194cm inside mid forward, he is basically the same height as Rooey, Disco, Jefferson and Luker Kentfield, plus he is well developed after being on an AFL list for a number of years. If he can recapture his earlier form he and Langford could really boost our midfield group.

McVee, Spargo and McAdam will not be available for R1.??

Thanks Andy, George and Binman great listen and my good vibes have been reinforced, love Langford and what he brings to the club, plus XL, Sharpe, TC , AJ, Hendo and now Culley plus we have The Duke and Kolt to squeeze back into the side.👍😁

Hi Demonland for some reason this is showing as blank??

Recruited No.1 in 2022 mid season Draft, won a Rising Star Nomination in R6 2023 then ruptured his ACL in Round 8. Eagles delisted him at the end of 2024, played 12 games and kicked 7 goals for them. He may have taken a bit longer to get over his injury?

Brilliant work red and blue forever.👍😁

And what a great 22nd Birthday it is for Jai and his family I would imagine. Did the boys train today Ghostwriter or are they still recovering from Saturday’s heat? pS( that was great that you caught up with Ricky Mentha’s family including his Nan at Arden St, sound like a really lovely close family.👍😁

As the experts say the harder you train the luckier you get, might have been RDB. Boy Harvey Langford is so damn impressive, I’m not exaggerating but I was really hanging out for Langfordd for our first pick, would have taken him if we had pick 1.

Welcome to MFC Jai Culley, I haven’t seen you in action yet but our track watchers have provided very glowing reports during the preseason training reports. You now have the opportunity to play with the greatest club in the land, work hard stay fit and reach your full potential.😁👍

Wow things can move quickly at AFL, how good and from all the training reports very happy with Jai Culley.😁👍

Thanks Redleg and DannyZ, this is a great decision based on fairness for all teams and common sense. What a terrible week we have had losing two players with season ending injuries when they were both on the verge of claiming a spot. I am happy with Jack Henderson and will trust JT to find the best option for Dees.👏👍😁

Great result for the club and supporter base, when we really need someone to stand up these two lead the charge.👏👍

Just posted on MFC website Marty has multiple breaks in his hand requires surgery, AMW has unfortunately copped the trifecta ACL, MCL and PCL…!!! Out for the year….😢😪

BBP agree on Chandler, need him in the side, still not sold on Bill needs to kick the door off its hinges at Casey, whereas I feel that Howes fills a need and should force his way in, mind you we now have legitimate depth, so disappointed for Andy Moniz-Wakefield he looked like he had arrived.

I think that Jeffo showed he is on the way, now has an AFL body and could have nailed a couple.

Agree old Dee, the boys put on a clinic in the second half, Rooey, Sharp, Lindsay, AJ, TC, AMW (until that dumb half Arzzed tackle) the whole team really pulled away from the Roos. Our fitness really stood out and a 46 point win was a bit of a tonic in terrible conditions, thought that Billings, Spaz, Rick and Disco also stood out but no passengers today. I can’t believe that I left Clayton, Riv & Kozz out. AG punches well above his weight.😁👍

33-27 our favour Roos just snagged one.
