Lord Ivanhoe

Wikipedia - Early life[edit] Elliott lived in Dongara, Western Australia before his family moved to Queensland. His father died when he was a teenager and his family moved to Euroa, Victoriawhere he played for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup. In 2011, he was invited to play two games for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

Josh Mahoney chat this morning on Trade radio https://mde.whooshkaa.com/show/9121/episode/441739.mp3 Im a fan of this trade but my gut feel(FWIW) after watching & listening to him after his chat at Collingwood yesterday is that he will stay there.

"One of these is Adelaide key defender Alex Keath. Keath started the year in what was bordering on All Australian form before probably tailing off a little in the second half of the season, but still appears to be a quality option in that part of the ground", quote. https://www.theroar.com.au/2019/08/27/all-cake-no-icing-three-offseason-strategies-to-fix-the-dreadful-demons/

Melkshem is one of our better finishers and will make a difference up forward once he returns (Hopefully only a few weeks after the bye!) Go Dees??? B658BC78-E5C3-414D-8C32-4E6846DB0FF5.mp4

One of the positives to come out of the 'Year we had to Have' is the new game style that is more defensive based. We have only been playing this style 3-4 games, hence IMHO this is what Harmes was referring to. Even though we had a good run in the finals last year, the prelim & the first few games of 2019 our game style, as we all know, was so easy to score against. Without the form & injury disaster that has been 2019, would we have adopted this new plan 'B' that will hold up better in finals??

It’s on now. Steve May speaks so well. Gawn is always a laugh

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-02-15/misson-enters-his-final-chapter Will be interesting to see the eventual new fitness setup

The Flip side is that they were all carrying these injuries into matches hence limiting performance in some way. It may take 3-4? games to get our best team on the park but at least they may all be in a physically better place by the pointy end of the season. Go Dees!

100% agree. He has a steely resolve and love the quality of the person. His potential is huge considering the Talent he has around him at the MFC this year. He has mentioned in the past how he'd love to play in the style of Alex Rance but was limited due to the young backline at the Suns. How exciting!

Gotta love this!!!!

Dunstall sat there on quietly on fox footy post match whilst the Roosy and King talked us up. I thought he was stewing that Dees would be up against his beloved Hawks next week. Then he said that was the toughest MFC outfit he had seen in the 20 years as a footy commentator!

Yeh it was almost as if the umpires were getting one back for being played with at the Cattery in rnd18! How proud are we of the boys tonight, just sensational! Go Dees!

Unfortunately I agree but hope this is not the case

In addition, a large percentage of those 910k viewers would be from a non footy demographic. Hence exposing the club to new potential members & sponsors especially if/when they looked at the ladder and observed we were ‘up there’.

So true! This also gives us the flexibility to ease Viney back in without unrealistic expectations for someone returning from a career threatening injury.

Thanks Demonland. Had to google GHR = Glute-Ham Raise. Here an example of the technique Harrison is aspiring to (with some nice scenery thrown in!)

Sorry for the late reply AF, hope this link works https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154365178746580&set=gm.10155848264773797&type=3&theater

Moment before OMac gets the ball. A tackle would have been too late. The guy is a gun and we're worried about tackles????

I'd rather be in appreciation mode. One of the best backmen we have had for 20 years!

And the 'kids' can learn & develop in the 2's, where they have less limelight & pressure.

Wagner & Smith have shown 'promise'. By upgrading them we can have a go at some more 'speculative potentials' that Jason Taylor and co have had such a reasonable success with so far.

I agree. In addition, the track record of the Melbourne recruiting team over past few years has been to just 'get the deal done'. It has worked. Just look at the other clubs out there arsing around & some haven't done anything at all?????
