Yep, North Melbourne in R22..

hope that does not offend anyone here!

I believed you the moment I read it. Sometimes one just has to go with one's gut feel. Also, you've been on the money before.

Yep, same here, but I can understand the skeptisism.

If you come good on this one, you'll get another tick next to your name for credibility, but I wouldn't blame anybody for not believing something read on a forum til its official.

Hell, half the bloody stuff in the papers you can't even trust.

It's a funny game football, how anyone can tell what a game is going to be like 12 months out, has got me beat !

You never, never know. Don't give me "but, the odds are..." old chestnut either.

I'll be bloody happy if the Melbourne-North Melbourne game next year is a good one.

But, the odds are...

Uggghh, you are such a bully!

He said 'possibly'?! OK?

You just leave him alone!!

Leave Britney alone!!

Have we gone past the point where a reference to that guy crying for Britney is funny?

Oh, we never got to that point?

Oh.

Damn.

:rolleyes: had to be done.

Whilst both sides were disappointing in 2009, there is alot of positives at both clubs - off and on the field (ie. new purpose built facilities)- whether it be new coaches (ie Brad Scott, Glen Archer) and/or changes to the playing list (host of early draft picks) and further development. These things can at times turn things around for a club quicker than expected. We only have to look at our clubs history and acknowledge this.

I don't know what has happened to you lately, but you and a couple of others genuinely make this site unreadable.

The 'off-season' happened to me.

How could anyone, let alone you, take this place seriously with all the drivel that is posted at this time of the year?

I am trying desperately to entertain myself and, yes, I know I am being annoying and tiresome, but at least I am not -

- jumping at shadows with 'OMG! This player is leaving!' nonsense.

- constantly whinging about how 'nobody wants to come to Melbourne, why is it so, Mommy?' and the 'AFL never gives us a good draw even though we are back-to-back woodenspooners, it's crazy, Daddy!'

- getting pseudo-sociological with the reasons why nobody comes to see the worst team play football.

This makes Land unreadable for me.

Different strokes, Hannibal.

I'll get serious when this place gets serious.

Which will be around (looking at my watch) March.

I'd say that's hinting at night games more than anything.

I'm not certain how old fashioned night football is...

It's all a bit moot for me as I will be as of 2010 a Victorian living in another state. I know you're supposed to say ex-Victorian, but I just can't bring myself to say that...

I tell you one thing though: I'll be at the G for Trengove's and Scully's first game. Even if its a $250 Qantas peak hour ripoff.

(Please excuse the apostrophes if they are misplaced - it's the one thing I can never get a hang of.)

Well its not "Trengove is and Scully is first game", doesnt make sense.

When its something personal to you, or not replacing the letter 'i' -it goes at the end..

RPFC's a numbnut. RPFCs' numbnuts. ;)

Sounds like we've got some more Sat afternoon (& Sat night?) games, which would be an absolute bonus!

Puts us in the thick of the round, instead of being some tacked on game at the end of a weekend, that no-one hears about. Schwabby's happy anyway!

(BTW - you seen the "IT" South Park episode? Be thankful you're not catching a plane in the U.S.)

You believe??

Who the hell has educated you people?

"Unless there was an "i" the apostrophe goes at the end???

Never heard such crap. No idea where you got that from, but it is completely wrong.

Simple:

Who is it that is having his first game? Scully. Therefore it is Scully's first game.

Same with Trengove having Trengove's frist game.

If it happened to be Nathan Jones, then it would be Jones' first game.

The Toilet for Men? Well that makes them Men's Toilets.

As opposed to the Ladies' Toilets.

I should be a fricken school teacher.

But hey, at least we're breaking down stereotypes here and showing that it isn't just Collingwood who have uneducated morons for supporters...

With patience like that, I can't imagine why you're not a teacher B)

Your penchant for abusing posters has become really, really boring.

Yeah, probably, but I post on here to entertain myself.

The schoolteacher thing was a self-deprecating crack.

And yeah, maybe a bit abusive, but who the hell invents fake rules for punctation?

DemonDan? :lol:

To think I'm training to become a teacher!

I guess.

Its frustrating when someone inexplicably goes out of their way to perpetuate a pet hate of yours.

But maybe I should have just started a thread like H did on the General Board.

    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
