MFC twitter account posts '36'.
MFC fans go absolutely berserk.
Club forced to clarify that the post meant 18 x 2 - Melk has signed for two more years.

Was reported he was going to meet with his family in SA to talk about it all during Gather Round so would think IF he was going to re-sign it would be at least a couple of weeks away.

You’d hope the treatment Jackson got in the media is helping Melbourne’s position by strongly showing the ‘why it’s not a great idea to go to a two team town on big bucks and big expectations this early in your career’ argument to convince Pickett to stay for at least another couple of years.

Yeah hopefully - along with the Hogan case study and think I remember reading somewhere that the Wiz was quoted saying he wished he had stayed at Melbourne.
He's probably my fave current player, but tbh I wouldn't totally hold it against him if he went back for family given he's tight with them and lost his mum. Would still be shattered though, we're so much more vanilla without him.
He's a match winner. He has abilities no other player on our list has. He'd be a huge loss. I hope he stays. Genuine 50/50 I reckon. I hope he sees us as a good chance for success next few years.
3 former players to get on the lash with:

Good list. I'd replace Jonesy with the ox, I reckon he went hard in his hayday.

Go in expecting a quiet Sunday session. Walk out with a second mortgage on your house.
Very entertaining discussing Mark Neeld after a few cans.

If I can throw in a couple of past players I think I would pick Oskar Baker and Oscar and Tom McDonald. I’ve talked to all of them for a bit and they are really nice. OMac in particular was a hoot. And it would be interesting to chat to TMac about meat, BBQ and some of his political theories

Ok, I don’t know where to put this.
But how on earth has the “It’s their 1 Wood” analogy gained traction? I see it everywhere now.
It’s meant to represent what a team or person goes to first, what they are best and most reliable at.
As a very mediocre golfer, the 1 Wood is actually the club it’s the most difficult to hit with consistency.
The pay off of using a 1 wood well can be high, but when it goes wrong (which was often for me) it’s disastrous.
You don’t even use the 1 wood on par 3s, and often you don’t on par 4s if accuracy is required or there’s a dog leg.
Pro golfers sometimes spurn their 1 wood for a more accurate and reliable 3 wood.
Anyway, this 1 wood thing just annoys me as a footy analogy. It doesn’t make sense.

I'd also add nobody calls it a 1 wood anymore. Only time anyone says 1 wood is when they're saying "it's their 1 wood" while talking about something that isn't a 1 wood.

That's funny, for me personally the idea of having a conversation with a MacDonald is my idea of hell. Like I'm feeling anxious just thinking about the idea.
