Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Just watching the rhythmic gymnastics and this austrian bird did her routine with a red ball.

I couldn't help myself. I yelled out "just kick the ball. stop poncing around and just kick the bloody thing"

I felt better after that (even though she ignored my pleas)

    Am looking at getting a new car

    You can save a LOT of money by getting a Demon-strator :o

    That would demon strate your fiscal resourcefulness.

    Think I would have preferred Chip out next week.

    Could be a two week injury the quad.

    Ah yes. Like Ward, Patton and Greene soreness. Will guarantee minimum 4 more GWS changes next week and several first gamers.

    Much like a game of chess in preparation.

    Sheedy said a while back "Melbourne won't want to dance with us."

    Got it this week. 8 changes for GWS and several second tier players. Sheedy says, "anyone who challenges these selections is a disgrace". Anyone out will miss 2 weeks, as both games are winnable.

    Love the experimentation Sheeds.

    I see some interesting times ahead for us. Who do we trade, delist, go after, draft? Probably more interesting than this season.

    Unfortunately Redleg the off season seems to be the most interesting every year in recent years.

    At least we don't lose any games.

    You missed one very interesting subject.

    "What happens with the Tanking inquiry"?

    Hopefully it just goes away and soon.

    I just think that if the AFL takes the tanking inquiry to a full hearing, they are going to create the biggest firestorm to engulf the code in decades. We will not take it lying down and that will mean other clubs will be brought into it and that will lead to forensic examinations of countless games and officials. The adverse publicity would be a disaster for the game.

    There is no tanking...Vlad says so :unsure:

    No let's have it out once & for all. Otherwise Tanking will always fester.

    The AFL made the rules...

    This season drags on and we just can't escape the negativity about the club. Brad Miller retires and says MFC were good to him, but the Tigers were really great. 2 seasons with the Tiges and he says they were the great club. Jurrah heads off to spend time with his family in Adelaide and the media suggest we have seen his last game. If true another exciting Melbourne player cut down way too early. Then on the Footy Show, Barrett says the tanking investigation is widening and a result could come late next week and it might not be good. Robbo on 360 says more of the same and says the Hun tomorrow will have a 3 page spread on the issue. I can safely assume it will not be helpful to us.

    Most of what I hear and see about the club is negative.

    Here is something to increase the negativity Redleg.

    Why has a certain high placed executive at the MFC not had his contract extended?

    Could it be that they are waiting on the out come of the inquiry?

    He is one of the few left from that period.

    A directive to tank can only come from a couple of places

    The Coach and almost all of the FD from that time are gone.

    Only two left near to the top that I can see

    I have a gut feel that said person is going to get it in the neck.

    I remember last pre season being a time of great change and hope. A new coach was being talked up as the next super coach. A high profile (the highest at the time) player defecting from the Lions and Dockers to come to the promised land. New resources being pumped into the club so that player development was assured. Fantastic facilities being better than previous premiers/grand finalist. A list of potentialled high draft picks. Previous coaches lamenting opportunities saying finals football was a given. A club profit used on front ending contracts. One of the highest sponsorship in the league

    And...... all i got was, do i need to re live this year. its too depresing to reflect

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
