  1. i just love how the melbournefc.com.au website keeps its members up to date. FMD
  2. So was anything said about potential BOJ sponsors?
  3. He could've had 10 mouthguards in, King's foot would've still knocked all his teeth out.
  4. Totally agree SWYL. To me he is just a lackadaisical footballer. He has his supporters on here, but i have just never seen the benefits he provides.
  5. Until he improves his kicking he will be struggling to cement a position. Once he does though, he'll become an almost automatic selection, as he can find a fair bit of the footy.
  6. Any news on Brayshaw? Or is it just being cautious?
  7. Hate the EFC with a passion. They got what they deserved. But the head honchos at AFL headquarters are as corrupt as FIFA under Blatter. Would not trust Gil for a second. I would love to see that he gets what's coming to him too. What's worse, is that the fat one has been able to wipe his hands and break away from all this cleanly. Him and Gil can be cell buddies for corruption and perverting the course of justice.
  8. He'll never possess the kicking, smarts or game sense that Jack does. That's not a knock on Weideman at all, given few would match Jack in all these areas (at our club anyway).
  9. I see him as a Membrey type (the type that always seems to tear us a new one). Not the main or even second key forward, but causes the opposition a headache given his in between size.
  10. Clearly this Nick Bowen doesn't have too much of an idea when it comes to the MFC. "Weideman, Melbourne's first selection in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft at pick No.9 overall, was due to come out of contract at the end of this season but the Demons and the 19-year-old's manager, Ben Williams of Players Ink, agreed to a new two-year deal this week." I could be wrong, but the last time i checked, Pick #4 (Oliver) comes before #9.
  11. Whilst Watts will only have himself to blame for getting himself in the situation he has (which the club continues to keep us in the dark with), the FD will only have themselves to blame if Watts starts the year off in poor fashion. They have handled this situation (publicly) very poorly.
  12. Agree Picket, people living in glass houses should not throw stones.
  13. I have to disagree with the topic heading. The 'best news ever' would be the newspaper article "In game 250 Hogan drives Powerhouse Dees to 15th Premiership"
  14. Game was played in Launceston, so it would've been balmy!
  15. It will be just our luck that he nails every [censored] pick
  16. I don't know, the AFL's current disdain for Hird would probably see his number being taken (Hird's that is)!
  17. The excitement and anticipation towards the end of pre-season gets to us all
  18. Why?.........................To rule them out as potential sponsors
  19. As WJ has alluded to, MFC's previous experiences with so called "saviours" has hardly been fruitful. Poor old Jim tried to be, but to the detriment of his well-being. Gutnick came along and headed the anti-merger group, but if it wasn't for the Dorks and their supporters' voting against it, it would have happened. The closest we've had to a saviour in recent times is by far and away PJ, whilst Roos also got us back on track. But both have made a considerable effort to not be seen as "saviours". It's more that they are/were one piece of the jigsaw, to get things going in the right direction and that it takes more than one person to keep a football club on the straight and narrow. One thing is for sure though, i'm extremely pleased that we have PJ locked in until at least the end of 2018.
  20. Ross Lyon picks his best 22, doesn't vary it too much, but gets the most out of them. The problem is, those outside the 22 simply don't improve under a RL coaching regime. He is not very good at managing the entire playing group. He is the antithesis of a list manager.
