Still stirring!

You saw way more than me

Proof that I'm not stirring - Shannon Byrnes has been included in the squad that's heading off to the red centre.

As I have said before, he'll be our best # 10 since Cale Morton Big Carl!!!!

I now expect JKH to play the final practice match against the Hawks.

Excellent - most likely in the midfield while he learns the finer points of the crumbing forward game from our most successful player and the only one to have played in multiple AFL premiership teams.

I will not bite.

OK smartie. I challenge you to name another current MFC player to have played in two premierships.

:lol:

That is so long ago that even Byrnes cannot remember it.

Why did Geelong play him constantly in the Reserves and then send him on his way at the end of 2011?

Easy answer. The guy is way past it.

Superannuation at the MFC and we were too silly to see it.

I see the problem OD.

Memory loss.

You need to eat more bananas. They help against such ailments.

FYI, Byrnes was a member of the 2007 and 2009 premiership teams and wasn't let go by the Cats at the end of 2011. It was the end of 2012 after playing in the Cats' sensational VFL premiership team.

You've also forgotten about players having a second wind. The bloke was the matchwinner in one of our two wins last year - against GWS where he picked up two Brownlow votes. Name five MFC players who polled more than that number in 2013 - T$, Scott Thompson and Brent Moloney don't count.

It's easy to see why he was picked for Friday night's game. He has a wealth of knowledge about the way Geelong plays and could be our secret weapon. I'm predicting 5 goals from him and a Demon upset.

So we gave him a two year contract for one good game last year against that great team in GWS who finished last.

Sort of like playing in the VFL where he should be.

He is a has been that everyone knew except the MFC.

Second wind! He would struggle to blow out the candles on his next birthday cake.

I will stay with the superannuation benefit.

Did not help us much last year when we played the cats!

Some things are easy to believe DF

Others are next to impossible.

He looks bad even after a bottle of red.

What about those young Asian ladies who want me to correspond with them every time I go onto the Demonland site. What have they got to do with football?

One would suppose a top wig, racetrack identity and Demonland stalwart like yourself might part with the cash to remove the ads. Otherwise, the only way to beat temptation is to yield to it.

I suffer from yellow fever and appear to have contracted it for life.

Biff you do know you can get a shot for that?

I understand that Redleg would like player X served with an infraction notice although there's no suggestion the bloke even touched a peptide.

Only a few more months to go!

Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

    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
