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.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

God deliver us.

OD the pain for the MFC has already started.

We are paying too much for a coach who and win on 50% of games played.

Wait am I too early to start me AFL season drinking to dull the pain?

Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

No pain for me so far DF

If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

We are heading the right way IMO

With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

 

No, he doesn't wear 10. The legend goes that he's so ancient that has to wear the Roman numeral on the back of his guernsey.

Coming around WJ ?

I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

I suspect they are too tight and affecting his vision Redleg

I have mixed feeling about this.

But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

In the previous decade DF

Might as well be last century.

Over the hill and far away will be the cry.

We are building up his super.

Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

Caps are not hats.

Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

Edited by old dee

Here's one to ponder OD. The saints look ordinary. Now imagine your player X lining up in round 1. He happens to be in the right place at the time at the feet of Hogan and/or Dawes and snags 3 or 4. He'll be in for the next 6 weeks!

  • 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.
