When the knee goes-so does the thread.

And $5mill.

The knee stood up in 2012. It was the heart that wasn't there.

    Absolutely nothing on us in today's Hun! I blame Cameron Schwab - disgraceful!

    On the other hand, Schwabbie's concentrating on lifting the spirits of the Age as Fairfax Media begins its slide into oblivion and the hands of a consortium led by Gina Rinehart, John Singleton and Mark Carnegie.

    With that lot in control, we can expect a substantial dumbing down of content (if that's at all possible) and several long time contributors and more staff should be gone by winter time.

    Here's our mention in what passes for our only local broadsheet these days thanks to the efforts of CS who surely deserves compliments for helping lift the MFC's public profile this year - http://www.theage.com.au/sport/demons-exorcised-in-mcg-overkill-20121228-2byr9.html'>Demons exorcised in MCG 'overkill.

    Thanks to Cam, we have now overtaken Collingwood in media coverage these days. Our sponsors must surely be delighted!

    However, I should add that the only thing missing when J Howe left the MCG on Boxing Day was his #38 jumper prominently displaying the sponsors' logos although given the manner of his departure, the logos might not have been visible under the red vest.

    Meanwhile, Marley Williams' victim remains hospitalized and the assault barely warrants a footnote to someone else's main story.

    Seems like Petterd is being accused of making vile comments to women at the game and that his comments have been recorded. That won't appear in any Wilson column. At least his President seems totally uninterested.

    Hope it doesn't hinder his career at Tigers.

    Whoever put their name to those allegations have backed off from them.

    Ricky P is already leadership material-the other tiggers were in a Bikie Club making meth on Boxing Day.

    Fantastic word BD. I reckon it must be at least 35 years since I last heard anyone use it.

    (1676) nicompoop, possibly from Latin non compos mentis (not of sound mind). Earliest known use of nincompoop spelling is from 1680.
    Those of us who have followed Melbourne through thick and thin for so long must be nincompoops. And if we were doing that in the 50s, this might bring back some memories especially for those of us who came from the bush.

    Overkill is an appropriate word when you consider what's been posted on the subject both here and on other forums.

    No it's not my website, but I started the thread and I am attached to it.

    You attack a popular thread and call for it to be merged, one that has many varied topics and nearly 3700 contributions and over 111000 views and then you resort to name calling. Well done.

    Hi guys ending 2012 on a high note.

    Since I was 5 years old I have wanted my own milk shake machine.

    The ones with the metal canister etc.

    Well I got one for Christmas.

    Sipping on one right now, no prizes for guessing the flavour!

    One hell of a wait but they say good things come to those who wait.

    So on that basis I am expecting a much improved performance from the Dees in 2013.

    Is it just me, who thinks Hugh Hefner's latest marriage at 86 to his 26 year old voluptuous Playboy magazine centrefold bride is sad? She is nearly 40 years younger than his daughter.

    Yes she is beautiful and every man including me might desire her, but don't we see this for what it really is, a form of prostitution, publicly paraded for the public.

    Maybe I have become old and bitter and very cynical, but I don't think I would want the whole world laughing at me and my wife. She even said when they broke up last year he was hopeless in bed. Who needs that sort of private crap out in the public and then he goes back with her, to try and show the world that he won. Well yes his money did win.

    If I was his age I wouldn't consider a woman for my wife unless she was at least 30 ( bad joke to end the post ).

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
