Plus MFC can not be beaten!

Life will be good then.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

You're confusing the waltz with the Strauss who was lead singer of the Swedish cyberpunk group Morlock. More James Strauss style and definitely music to listen to whilst your Franz Liszt.

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?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
