Lyon had three boys and not one of them is interested in footy, right?

I think they were just crap at it

    I believe at least one plays, but isn't great and not really interested in trying to be.

    Billy has been in our sights for quite a while but remains a speculative pick at this stage. That's my understanding. Certainly not a first rounder.

    Are we going to be forced to use our first rounder on him; that is the question..

    Hopefully we will have one!

    Use whatever we have to, the kid actually wants to be a demon.

    I love that we follow our sons of guns but we really need to stop running down the kids or the former player.

    I think Billy is developing well and I love the fact he wants to play for our basket case of a club.

    We as a club should be nurturing this kid and helping him all the way from here on in like we did with JV.

    Total BS.

    I remember a rolling maul of constant physicality that advanced the ball 50 metres the wrong way with barely a clear possession. Blokes put in.

    We were not quite there and we met a mighty team at the peak of its powers, just like in 2000.

    We lost by 96 points. The Hawks ran in waves of 3 and 4. We were roundly flogged that day.

    True and the only rolling maul I remember was led by Gary Ayres out of the middle, they ran right over the top of our guys who gave little to no resistance (boys against men). Maybe the post was in jest, I hope it was because they totally flogged us, it was record margin at the time for a GF which thankfully Geelong broke with there win over the Power.

    Sign Billy Stretch ... he wants to play for MFC. Good enough for me.

    Remember Dylan Grimes. MFC Bailey missed him when he desparately wanted to play with his brother.

    And Alwyn Davey. MFC Bailey said he was too short.

    Agree on all counts

    What about young Max Viney

    I don't know for sure oilslik but I don't think Max is as committed to AFL as his brother

    I'm sure we will develop him into a fumbling,unfit and confused football player.

    Have faith guys. Viney looks like his going pretty good IMO

  • Quote

    If I were him I would change my last name, move out of home, and say i have never heard if Steven Stretch...or just enter the draft.

    But in all seriousness, love having young men who love the club from the get go. Don't know much about him but hopefully he turns out alright.

    Everyone shhh, we don't want another Viney situation. Let's all keep quiet so we can grab him with pick 97.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
