  • New Heroes MCC Committee Room Lunch
    Issue 9, December 2013 Football update Melbourne Football Club CEO Peter Jackson has reiterated the importance of a strong football program in the rebuild of the Club. One aspect of this has been the bolstering of our recruiting. All players have now returned to training, with the five year-plus players commencing on November 18. The trade and draft periods have delivered a number of new players to the Club. Manager of football operations Josh Mahoney summarised Melbourne’s recruiting period: “Over the past two months, we have been able to combine a trade period where we added inside midfield depth and experience, with skill and speed in the draft. Christian Salem, who was rated highly internally, combines hardness and skill. We have been able to bring in both Dom Tyson and Salem for pick No.2. Jay Kennedy-Harris is a small, quick player who captained his under 18 TAC Cup team and meets a definite need on our list. Jayden Hunt was a talented junior player before taking up tennis. He returned to football this year and has shown AFL traits with his decision- making and marking. He will also compete with Sam Blease as our quickest player. Jayden will be a project player for our academy and we believe he will be a future top line player.” In last Wednesday’s Rookie Draft, the Club added James Harmes (Dandenong Stingrays, 18, 185cm, 78kg, midfielder), Alex Georgiou (Norwood, 23, 188cm, 93kg) and Max King (Murray Bushrangers, 18, 201cm, 90kg, tall forward/ruckman) to its list. The Club also redrafted Neville Jetta with its fourth and final pick.
