WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LUKE JACKSON
Based on limited highlights package kicking clearly not a strength at least at this stage - hard to see how he could be a top 10 pick irrespective of his athletic ability
-
James Harmes Signs for 5 Years
Really like the way he goes about his footy - hopefully he continues to improve on the same trajectory Love the fact he is a Demon supporter - how cool is that for him to live out a boyhood dream Keep up the good work Harmesy hopefully the ultimate prize is not far away
-
Sam Gray
Personally think Jay Lockhart with a full pre-season under his belt has more potential Hard to get enthused about Sam
-
Preseason Draft
That's all good - but the reality is MFC has finished better than 10th twice in the last 10 years and played finals once - hardly inspiring stuff that fills you with confidence Like you I live in hope ever year but to say we won't be close to the top of the drafts for sometime is a stretch based on history and the past season performance wouldn't you say
-
Preseason Draft
Really ? do you know something that we don't - was 2019 a complete aberration
-
2020 AFL Fixture
Gee your probably pretty close to pinning the tail on the Donkey Deeoldfart - but very glass half empty approach at this point
-
Caleb Serong (Drafted by Fremantle)
Appears to be a bit slow - I would not think he is what the recruiters are hoping to find
-
Joel Smith Puts Luckless Year Behind Him
Good luck Joel - I am also a fan and think he can be a player given a reasonable run with injuries
-
Dr Peter Brukner
Assume this is good but not sure his role - presumably to support Darren Burgess from a medical assessment perspective
-
Need for another ruckman?
Haven't really seen much of Bradtke but I'm hoping he can really be a big improver this season as I have little confidence in Preuss ever amounting to much

2019 Player Reviews: #26 Sam Weideman
Fair call McKay, Curnow and Hipwood all look more promising
-
Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
What is there not to like? I know 3 mins of highlights is a very small sample BUT - can kick - can mark - not a whimp - can tackle Most on our list don't all 4 of those boxes
-
Phantom Drafts
Flanders highlights are not great - looks pretty slow and his kicking isn't great - a big no from me Young on the other hand is a great option
-
2019 Player Reviews: #28 Oscar McDonald
Rather fortunate to still have a spot on the list - hopefully can improve significantly in 2020 Definitely behind May, Lever, Petty and probably Hore for mine Probably kept his spot due to the movement of Frost who offered more atm IMO
-
Brodie Kemp (drafted by Carlton)
I actually think Spargo is a good footballer - he seems to read the play well and generally makes the most of his limited possessions - kicking penetration is an obvious area to try and improve He played the small forward role in his first season because he didn't have the tank to run midfield If he can build his endurance and cope with extended time in the midfield I think he can be more than useful
-
Lachlan Ash (Drafted by Fremantle)
Has some nice attributes but he reminded me a bit of a short Sam Frost TBH. The other players he reminds me of is Daniel Bell for some reason Likes to run and carry but sometimes didn't look like it was to his or the teams advantage - also disposal was a bit hit and miss Small sample so I'm sure the recruiters know a hell of a lot more - personally would think he is a better option than Serong
-
AFL Players Without Contracts
I really don't think he is AFL standard - I'm confident Geelong and Brisbane feel the same way
-
AFL Players Without Contracts
Josh Walker is a definite no for me
-
Josh Bruce
He has a handy highlights reel, can take a decent mark, fairly quick, doesn't mind a bit of rough and tumble, can kick the odd bag of goals Light on for these qualities at MFC not sure if we were keen but seems like we missed a chance here - I'm not convinced the Weed will ever amount to much - really hope he proves me wrong next year
-
Jack Steven
Could of been a handy pick up for MFC if you ask me - no idea what his state of mind is but a change of scenery might do wonders and we sure could do with some pace - he has that there is no doubt
-
Jack Steven
Gone from Saints to Cats for pick 58 ? A 4x B&F gone for pick 58 ? Seems a bargain to me
-
Josh Mahoney in the Media
Is Weightman worth a top 10 pick? - last time I checked he was ranked in the late 20's Not saying he is or isn't - would be interested to hear others views who have actually seen him play Would have to be something very special to use a top 10 pick given his size
-
Farewell Sam Frost
We are making a big bet on two players (Lever not key position IMO and May) that have spent very little time out on the ground - hope they can play most games next year otherwise I'm not sure our back line stocks are that flash Perhaps the club rates Petty as a better 2 to 3 year prospect than Frost - OMac well the least said the better
-
Jamie Elliott
According to Michael Gleeson Age he has ruled out MFC - onwards and upwards !

POSTMATCH: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
The saddest part about this season and the pathetic demise is that it really comes as no surprise such is the nature of this football club. They collectively just have no capacity to compete for long enough to win games on a regular basis, believe their own BS afar too often and are not a serious threat to anything other than the wooden spoon
