Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I doubt we will win 56 games next year, but 11? ...

You are thinking too small RBB.

As you need to count preseason, interclub, practice matches as well as training.

    My boy is a dalmatian and he can run like the wind. No one will be able to get the ball off him.

    But can he kick DF?

    5 + 6 = 11, 1 + 1 = 2 which is Nathan Jones, second favourite for the 2015 Brownlow behind Dom Tyson ...

    Or in honour of the news on the other thread, 2 = The Great Robbie Flower. R.I.P. champ.

    No but its AFL Football so there is no need to be able to actually kick the ball.

    I remember him as a player but did not support the Dees at the time. But from what I been told he is exactly what I respect in a player. Loyal, team player, cares about the Club and was a supporter before becoming a player.

    Players like this are rare and deserve the respect from all Club Supporters. He will be missed by many including non-mfc supporter. The guy was clearly a legend of the game as well as a great guy to boot.

    I have 1,000 times more respect for a player who loves a Club so much they will not move to a more successful Club. Great player do not have to play in grand final winning teams.

    As I did my research on him by watching old games in which he was a player. I too had a tear or two.

    Unfortunately DF there is little footage of him.

    In those days the VFL only had two games a week on TV and as we were crap we did not get too many game televised or recorded.

    I went week after week just to see him.

    Everything you hear is correct.

    If he played with a good side his reputation would be way higher, Reputations are solidified in finals and Grand finals.

    IF he had played with Hawthorn or Carlton at the time he would have won a norm Smith I have no doubt.

    A bit of my youth died yesterday.

    The way things are going, there will be club legends no more.....

    Free agency will kill it off

    Gone are the days that players stick by a club for better or worse and be remembered as a champion of the club

    I hate the way the AFL is at the moment....Great Hawthorn champs ie, Dunstan, Hudson, Bartlett at Richmond, Farmer and Goggin at Geelong

    All champions of their clubs

    Soon players will be called champs.....Not CLUB champs

    It's a sad state of affairs.

    Gone forever BD

    Sad but we just have to move on or leave the game.

    I have considered that option and I am hanging in.

    "Just" I might add

    I didn't go to one game this year OD.....Watched on tele or just got the scores on the computer

    I always thought soccer was frustrating and boring....well footy is becoming the same.....No goals in quarters or halfs , players that I really liked...Gone. I will remain a member but find going to the footy a bore.

    I share your feelings Bossdog

    I used to think that Aussie Rules was way better at the game now I think it is better on TV as you do not see as much of the rolling malls

    and because you only see a small part of the ground so almost never see half the ground with no one in it or 100 players coming on and off the ground all day.

    Visually it is now crap IMO.

    After the past few years, we might be lucky to win a few training sessions ... :blink::blink:

    54 the great Trevor Korn's number.

    5 + 4 = 9, which is Jack Trengove, due to come roaring back from injury with a vengeance. Another one of those tackles on Dangerfield, please (unless Danger is playing for us ... :) )

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
