    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.

    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!

    I'll be too Franz Liszt to worry.

    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 ...

    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.

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

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

    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?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
