Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

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!

Welcome back

Depends how big the bunch is!

And how big the bananas are ... :lol:

PS what is with the change of avatar? Aren't you a frog anymore?

LOL

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.

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:

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?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
