Fremantle & Port Adelaide should never have been given a license to join the AFL. It is a disgrace. Both will become "Basket Cases" within 10 years particularly Port.

From a supporter of Club that is a basket case. :lol:

It is a beat up based on the unbelievably stupid comments from Steve Malaxos. How he got put in front of a microphone I dont know.

Excuse Me RR The Melbourne Football Club was in a bad way 12 Months ago but i think we can wave goodbye to those days. Not out of the woods yes but there is a load of good signs.

Port Adelaide have no supporters Full stop. Fremantle won't in a few years. I mean that song is enough to close them down!!

It's not a non-issue Y_M, it's massive news.

Two twenty year olds dressed up in white sheets and white masks and knocked on their friends' doors.

Massive

Ha, ha my thoughts exactly. The moral police are at it again.

If anything, the 22 Freo players who played on Saturday night should have been charged for falsely impersonating an AFL footballer.

You easily conned WYL. MFC are still in the black forest.

Have a look at Freo and work why the AFL really rate Cameron Schwab. He has made that Club financially strong with a solid supporter and sponsor base in a two horse town. He is at early days at MFC and there is a long long way to go for MFC. No basis for bragging rights there. But Freo footy dept and theme song are deplorable.

I know where we are RR I am not Bragging, we have a long way to go & it will take awhile but i Truly believe we are going to head in one direction, up. By that i mean Business each year & up the ladder when we can. Schwabb is no slouch i know. Jim Stynes is the networking Front man & a Player who achieved beyond his means- ie when he talks People listen. Freo are ok off field at the moment but if their Footy Dept does not improve People & Business will drop off. They have no History.

We Do.

lol . . .

When young guys get together and touch base with alcohol they tend to do some silly things.

Have to say this is "silly" but it's harmless to say the least

What happens if we finish with 4 wins but freo is last?

what pics do we get then?

Not the best one to ask. However to my knowledge, we would still get first crack at the draft, but wouldnt get the priority pick (??) Or maybe I have that the other way round.

Perhaps someone else could answer?

As an example. if Freo wins 2 games, and we win 4, will the draft order be -

1. Freo

2. Melbourne

3. Melbourne

Anyone?

...like they have done at MFC. :rolleyes: Fat lot of good history is! The last 45 years have been forgettable and at times embarrassing.

If we have 16.5 pts or less at the end of the home and away we will get a PP. Whether it is draft pick no 1 will depend upon the 2009 outcome of WCE who won only 4 games last year. They have won 2 to date. If they win only 2 more and the MFC win 4 or less games then the access to PPs will depend on ladder position of WCE and MFC.

If the bottom three positions on the ladder were

14. WCE 4 wins

15. MFC 4 wins

16. Freo 3 wins

then the draft would be....

Pick 1 - PP - MFC

Pick 2 - PP - WCE

Pick 3 - Freo

Pick 4 - MFC

Pick 5 - WCE

Freo would get a 2nd round PP at pick 19.

Poor Pavlich.

I hope that CS, CC and DB have all been in contact with the great man to make sure that he is ok and if he needs any support from the MFC he just needs to call. If we were to finishing with a priority pick this year I would have no issues giving up our 2nd pick for the PAV. All of a sudden our "disfunctional" forwardline would be amazing. I really think we could be in with a shot on a player like pav this year, unless QC17 beat us to it. It would be interesting if anyone in the media is aware of his relationship with harvey vs CC+CS?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
