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: 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.
