Have a great trip, Earl. It seems a bit ironic to have a bastion of the upper class such as yourself chosen to lead negotiation with the glorious revolutionaries, but I guess that should show them what they are missing. Just don't bring back too many cigars to pass around in the Long Room over port ... :):lol:

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

I have had a sobering 36 hours an old friend died Sunday night and all of a sudden who the MFC picked in the draft seemed of little consequence.

However for the living life goes on.

I decided this morning it is now more important to chose well Mr. Taylor.

I need a big improvement from the Dees over the next four years.

We need to be a power by 2020.

Agree Mr Leg but there have been a number of years in the last decade that the real world was a handy distraction from the Footy.

Not however 2016 we are all going to enjoy our ten wins heading to the finals in 2017.

wonder why it is so quiet here

Yes dc after all the discussion over the last 6 weeks it is all over.

The FD obviously has a big opinion of Oliver we traded away next years first pick to ensure we got him.

Still next years first pick will be around 16 so no big loss I guess.

Dc and Bbo I predicted at this time last year we still had a poor list and would win 6-8 games in 2015 but with more changes at the end of the year we would be well placed for 2016.

Staying with statement 2016 is the start of big years for the Dees.

As for the Pinot Bbo I told you all gone and there will be no 2015 vintage ( bloody Wasps ) even I cannot get a bottle now.

How about we arrange to sit in a group for our next final, whenever that is? Then we will be able to laugh about all those bad years (2013, 2012, 2009, 2008, I'll stop there :) )

Yeah, we could be like those 2 old blokes in the theatre box seat at the Muppett Show, blankets over the legs, teeth falling out when we yell out "well played, number nine".

I was thinking more like yelling "Take that curse of Norm Smith!" when Weideman kicks the winning goal after the siren in the GF ...

What not a countdown till the first game of 2016?

OD you should not talk about such things at this time of the season because our team remains undefeated and we still have hope.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
