Found a classic song on

http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/28948-nuggets-music-videos/page-13

Though of Mark Neeld right away the lyrics are "your don't know how to easy my pain" and "you make me want to cry"

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

Down side is there no banana in the clip.

According to the Mayan calendar the messiah is supposed to arrive this weekend. Not sure if this site can Handel that news.

I'll be too Franz Liszt to worry.

 

It's been about 2 years since I've posted in here and all I'll say is that right now all the money being punted on Paul Roos may just barely be enough to buy a bunch of bananas!

In that condition you should be able to do a great James Strauss waltz.

LOL

Its my farewell to Mark in celebration of the last game of the season.

TBH I am feeling a little pain.

But without pain there is no gain.

Pretty decent effort winning 3/4's considering we were smashed in clearances, possessions and umpiring and with an injury depleted team.


Not long home from the game. A good second half, with lots of spirit, especially given the same old horrors of the second quarter. I was sitting about two rows in front of Russell Howcroft, and about six rows back from the spot where Howie took the hanger that was out on the full. Saw Wonna talking to Dom Barry at half time, and towards the end of the game noticed that most of the non-playing Demons were seated nearby, including Joel MacDonald. Nice to see Flash run down Adam Cooney in the last quarter -- a `Flashback' you could say.

It was easily the best atmosphere of any Demons game I have been to in the past few years. When we learn to use the ball better and get some poise under pressure, it will be a different team. It was no coincidence that we looked very good when running the ball out of defense and backing ourselves, rather than stuffing around, second-guessing, and taking the third or fourth option.

Surreal ... goodbye and good riddance to season 2013, but the last two quarters were by far our best for a long time.

Hope is kindled ...

Type, read and interact with humans in general but I am a Melbourne Supporter which makes me special.

I can feel easy now the pain is gone.

I can see all opportunities along our way

Gone are the dark clouds that hadn't been kind

It just might, might ignite the fight in our game to play


The MFC has just determined it can not afford a super coach, in fact due to a financially disastrous 2013 the only person it can have is the coach it already paid to coach in 2014.

Mark Neeld!

Just when you thought it was safe to return to the MCG and see a MFC win or five. The man is back to finish what he had started in 2012, having the best VFL team in the country who is the softest to play against.

OMG if this happens I think I would start supporting Netball.

We need to know the new coach before we can start dreaming of the better times.

If the Messiah arrives, there'll be no Haydn for the players.

Oh yes praise The Lord bb

The best time of the MFC year is finally here!

After another stellar year by the MFC I have begun to reflect on a few of the players.

Two spring immediately to mind

Byrnes, I understand the reasons for recruiting him but IMO he has been a large flop. Perhaps noble reasons but epic mistake

Dawes similar to Byrnes but for a different reason IMO this guy is injury prone and will give us little over the balance of his contract.

There were plenty of Pies people telling me long before the end of 2012 that he was injury prone.

He would need to be dramatically different in 2014, Yesterday was the clincher for me.

Could we give both to another club and pay half their salaries to get them off our list and create space?

I know that it is doubtful anyone would want them but could we try?

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
