Plus MFC can not be beaten!

Life will be good then.

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.

RIP 2013

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 ...

Must make it hard to type ... :blink:

Type, read and interact with humans in general but I am a Melbourne Supporter which makes me special.

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.

Sounds like time to switch to decaf, TBF :lol:

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?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
