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 ... :) )

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
