I haven't got long before im out again. Jordie McKenzie was our best. Alot of good clearance work and made so much ground to find the footy. I like the look of him as a mobile flanker/midfielder. Aussie was influential playing his part. Jurrah struggled to find the footy, but showed how to light up the field when he did get it with slick touches or quick movement. He's going to be exciting but does have alot of development to get through first. Rivers was in and out of the game but generally looked steady and enjoyed some nice touches. Valenti found alot of the footy and had a good workrate, not always damaging with it though. Something to improve on for Shane.

Anyone have any information about the deal struck with Betezy?

This is exciting news. Kaspersky seem a fantastic company, with room to grow and for the MFC to be recognised alongside Kaspersky is a good thing for all concerned. Proud Dee today.

I always though his kicking was terrible when I had seen him as well but suprisingly against Hawthorn in Tasmania his kicking looked fine. I'm guessing it's something Jake worked on over the summer.

The platinum partnership is worth some $50,000 AUD as well. Good news allround. Betezy also have a Melbourne FC page on their website. http://www.betezy.com/affiliates/melbournedemons/ Nice!

Red and Blue spirit. We have the best supporters in the land.

The MFC rejected Chang Beer

Wouldn't mind a report on Jurrah from anyone attending.

Melbourne wanted more money and didn't want a Thai company as a major sponsor unless the money was really there. Same as the Mission deal apparently.

Your onto something YM.

Wouldnt want the award really. Why aint Wheatley nominated, or is he taken?

No, $250,000 per year. From what I can gather, the deal was rejected because of geographical terms as well as lack of funding.

I can today confirm Melbourne Football Club have rejected a deal from Thaibev company Chang Beer worth $1AUD over 4 years for the Shirt Back corp. sponsorship. More news as I'm told.

Can mark, can just kick, can run. Warnock is the better prospect, but in terms of what we've saved and what we're getting I think we're currently ahead.

This season I'd start off with HF: Green, Miller, Davey. F: Sylvia, Bate, Wonnaemirri. I like Bate deep cause he can actually take a grab.

Garland has one thing in bundles, and that's poise. You cant teach it and you normally have to be experienced to have it but young Colin is blessed with it in his game. He's looked comfortable the three times I've seen him this pre-season and I think he will hold our defence together this season. Our young list is growing, and as much as we cant see it at this stage we're witnessing something pretty special for the Melbourne Football Club.

I'm not at all worried about not having a companies logo on our shirt front. Takes me back to older days not having it. I am more concerned about the lack of sponsor in terms of money. We need the cash boost not our shirts with a logo.

I was just thinking, maybe we could play Moloney up forward. We lack fire power down there and Moloney can take a grab. Good kick as well.

Solid game on Saturday. I think he has a future, cause he can play small or tall and has a very good football brain when he wants to use it. Improvement of skills will be neccesary but he will make it.

Have it mate. Perfect example.

Its only the NAB cup. Surely an expected result before the game started.

How did that just happen. Just lacked the polish and quality in the end. Looking at the positives Frawley was superb. Bail looked good and Grimes had a fine last quatar under pressure. The likes of Sylvia & Newton really need to step it up. Both lacked impact in a big way.

Credit to Dean Bailey and co. We've really set this up well, nullifying Hawthorn's run.

Whelan is class.
