Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

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

Old Dee for the AFL to Wack us we have to have done something wrong.

What exactly have we done?

The AFL know if we are sanctioned without solid reason we will fight it in court.

Wilson can write what she likes. Rant on at press conferences till the curtains fade. It is not her call.

I doubt we will get hit with anything now...

You see wyl I actually think we tanked, in my mind there is no doubt about it.

Now proving it is another question.

I don't believe we have done anything worse than other clubs but tanked none the less.

I will still be surprised if we get off Scot free

That kick really irks me bb.

I went home filthy that night because we should have won.

The whole issue of trying to get extra picks annoyed me then

and still does to this minute.

2009 created a culture that exists to this day and it has not been a good one.

I hope we can banish it over the next few years

and in the future the MFC never ever again takes the field with anything less than a 100% win attitude from the players and FD.

I think OD thats exactly what is taking place now. The league quietly re-assumes control over circumstance of priority picks and then will bin the entire idea in favour of..who knows , but something universally accepted and palatable.

Im sure no one really enjoyed the experimenting, though often wasnt necessary as we were just that useless. However, in many respects it was all a games of chess/positional semantics/eye on the bigger prize. Means to an end stuff. I suppose it was most unsavoury for as much as we dont like losing it had become not only the norm but a deliver of benefits. Who wants to lose !!!I dont.

You know bb the thing that probably annoys me the most is we then went and wasted a lot of the picks on players like Cook

Big difference in cases. AFL always said don't cheat on contracts and salary cap, that is an offence and you will get hit hard, unless you are the Crows.

With "Tanking", the AFL ( CEO and Footy Manager) have said all along that what we did was OK and has been done ever since footy started. It is called "List management and Experimentation". That has been ticked off several times already. To now say it is an offence will see litigation come long and hard, as well as more from the Bookies and Punters. Andrew will be in a Court for weeks getting no work done. Then the other clubs will get dragged in.

This is not what the AFL wants or needs at this point in time.

Ryan Ferguson is the antithesis of T$ in that he remained at the red and the blue when it would have been to our advantage for him to go to Hawthorn several years ago in exchange for a Brad Sewell. He's been playing for West Adelaide where he's now the skipper and he's just re-signed for another stint - http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/fergusson-re-signs/story-e6freckc-1226525991193'>Ferguson re-signs with Bloods.

Meanwhile, Brad Sewell continues to thrive at the Hawks.

Another deal that didn't go our way.

Woken up by a leaf blower this morning...

Is there a more useless and annoying human invention?

It is a windy day....

I've often said that myself.

They were invented for the idiotic to distort the unemployment figures.Clearly.

I've seen council dudes blowing leaves down a drain that the next day overflows and has to be pumped ,only for the same thing to happen again a week later .

Get a f#cking rake you blowjobs .

Wonder if there is any connection to Anderson going and the tanking inquisition. Anderson instituted it on Brock's say so while Andy was away.

Far fetched, still think he is being squeezed out of the room by big AD. Pretty easy to imagine... ;)

Yes, I used to see the council guy with the leaf blower every day and wondered whether that was his only task for the day, or...? It's hard to imagine a more menial, low responsibility job. Maybe it's the job for me when I win div 1 in the lottery and just need something to do to pass the time.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
