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!!!!

Hmm that does not say a lot WJ

And you are still stirring.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
