Thanks will give it a try. May come out of retirement, as we will have plenty of spots on the list to fill.

I'm sure you'd have more of a crack than some have this year Redleg!

    The departing player list is growing and reference is made to many clubs being interested in the players. We will see what we get in return, if anything.

    Interesting Redleg that Gysberts has a year to run on his contract.

    So there is an obvious breakdown there.

    I thought it was obvious in the first few games he was not in favour

    Then Injured and who knows from there.

    Apparently a couple of clubs have inquired about him.

    Churning our list at the moment is like sellign a house. If you HAVE to you will take a hit. Sometimes you have to, theres no waiting. The alternative is even worse, to hang on to second rate players just because youd be affraid to have to have a fire sale.

    Well, we're Melbourne, our whole football existence could be described as living in hell. Its warm there.

    Light the fires !!! :)

    Apologies in advance for posting Pies paraphernalia.

    I'm looking around for TV's. Found this one, some of the comments are priceless.

    Toothless Hordes Branded TV

    Could anyone from collingwood afford it? do you have a dole check exchange program?

    ....i think this model should be called "Bogan", not Kogan!!!!!

    Why would someone who normally steals a tv, pay for one?

    Good that collingwood get cheap tv, no home to put it in tho.. caravan with a generator??

    Is it only a Black and white tv :P Bwahahahaa!

    Kogan does Bogan! Well done! Now try a fan base that could afford one.

    now we know where the baby bonus is going for sure!

    $450 could buy that one more tooth you were saving up for this christmas....

    Am I correct in saying that it was Pythagorus who came up with the theory that the sum of the salaries of the first three place getters for the Kevin Sheedy Medal was not equal to the salary of the fourth place getter?

    If so, it all sounds like Greek to me.

    He may have also come up with the the formula for Recruiter's waistlines. that being Waist = Pie Arse Squared !!

    Is it just me tonight BB I am struggling to find a thread that interests me.

    Seems we are generating multiple thread that cover the same 2 -3 subjects.

    I might have to give Demonland a break it is similar to our season at present.

    Old...I think weve enetered that twilight zone that is the EOS. Especially the finals' weeks where theres only so much that can occur as much often included players of the competing teams.

    We have what amounts to a leap-liek year occurence whereby no Senior coach is on the block, things remain rather calm and the ususal suspects make a ruckus in the cheap seats.

    Its a bit like the 7 stages of grieving. Season ends, there's murmurs, theres rumours and a truck load of speculation. All the "in the knows" come out of the woodwork. Why are they never around much 'during' the season? lol . Some who seldon post suddenly come to life and the rest of us go fishing for the gems. The net is often empty.

    Theres a few events of late Im already over. That actually surprises myslef somewhat but theres just no point worrying about so many things is there :)

    A hell of a lot of jumping at shadows BB.

    The thing that really surprises me is we have had what may have been the worst season in 30 years, this is the sixth bummer in a row.

    We clearly have a large number of poor players

    And yet people don't want to make changes.

    Oh well the racing season is upon us and the NBL is just around the corner

    Hopefully they will distract me for a few months.

    Have a good night mate

    Its been a funny year. A Keating year... lol Very cathartic !! :unsure:

    Not much on the scoreboard as they say , but its been all about what s happening in the rooms this year.

    I wasnt concerned before the season started about wins. it wasnt about wins. I know some think in a terribly simplistic way. If we arent winning were losing. A certain reality to that but irrelevent to what this season was about. Never was about wins. It was about finding out about the players. This has been done. Now the next phase. This is actually exciting. Something REAL Something progressive.

    ahhh Progress theres something different :huh:

    Pies will lose Maxwell and maybe Tarrant next game through the MRP. If Johnson got a week, Maxwell has to at a minimum. Off the ball to the face and left the ground bleeding. Tarrant gave Buddy a good one to the ribs from behind and should also get at least a week.

    I am not homophobic, but does there need to be an Ad on the Demonland Melbourne Demons Forum page at the top headed " Meet Gay Men Online". There are young kids on Demonland and I think it is pretty ordinary. It seems to be alternating. Now it says meet Asian Women For Love Online. Gee.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn
