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!

    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.

    Biff you do know you can get a shot for that?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
