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.

I think it is too late for me to get one Redleg

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

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.

But can he kick DF?

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

Well after last nights news I am struggling to feel good about anything this morning.

Might have a banana

This is one of the times it won't help.

It is my wife's birthday and we are both in tears.

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.

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 ... :) )

Next important event for us is at about 10.10AM Monday, when we find out which pick we need to use on Billy.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
