    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.

    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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
