I doubt we will win 56 games next year, but 11? ...

You are thinking too small RBB.

As you need to count preseason, interclub, practice matches as well as training.

I think it is too late for me to get one Redleg

My boy is a dalmatian and he can run like the wind. No one will be able to get the ball off him.

5 + 6 = 11, 1 + 1 = 2 which is Nathan Jones, second favourite for the 2015 Brownlow behind Dom Tyson ...

Or in honour of the news on the other thread, 2 = The Great Robbie Flower. R.I.P. champ.

But can he kick DF?

No but its AFL Football so there is no need to be able to actually kick the ball.

Well after last nights news I am struggling to feel good about anything this morning.

Might have a banana

This is one of the times it won't help.

It is my wife's birthday and we are both in tears.

I remember him as a player but did not support the Dees at the time. But from what I been told he is exactly what I respect in a player. Loyal, team player, cares about the Club and was a supporter before becoming a player.

Players like this are rare and deserve the respect from all Club Supporters. He will be missed by many including non-mfc supporter. The guy was clearly a legend of the game as well as a great guy to boot.

I have 1,000 times more respect for a player who loves a Club so much they will not move to a more successful Club. Great player do not have to play in grand final winning teams.

As I did my research on him by watching old games in which he was a player. I too had a tear or two.

Unfortunately DF there is little footage of him.

In those days the VFL only had two games a week on TV and as we were crap we did not get too many game televised or recorded.

I went week after week just to see him.

Everything you hear is correct.

If he played with a good side his reputation would be way higher, Reputations are solidified in finals and Grand finals.

IF he had played with Hawthorn or Carlton at the time he would have won a norm Smith I have no doubt.

A bit of my youth died yesterday.

The way things are going, there will be club legends no more.....

Free agency will kill it off

Gone are the days that players stick by a club for better or worse and be remembered as a champion of the club

I hate the way the AFL is at the moment....Great Hawthorn champs ie, Dunstan, Hudson, Bartlett at Richmond, Farmer and Goggin at Geelong

All champions of their clubs

Soon players will be called champs.....Not CLUB champs

It's a sad state of affairs.

Gone forever BD

Sad but we just have to move on or leave the game.

I have considered that option and I am hanging in.

"Just" I might add

I didn't go to one game this year OD.....Watched on tele or just got the scores on the computer

I always thought soccer was frustrating and boring....well footy is becoming the same.....No goals in quarters or halfs , players that I really liked...Gone. I will remain a member but find going to the footy a bore.

I share your feelings Bossdog

I used to think that Aussie Rules was way better at the game now I think it is better on TV as you do not see as much of the rolling malls

and because you only see a small part of the ground so almost never see half the ground with no one in it or 100 players coming on and off the ground all day.

Visually it is now crap IMO.

After the past few years, we might be lucky to win a few training sessions ... :blink::blink:

54 the great Trevor Korn's number.

5 + 4 = 9, which is Jack Trengove, due to come roaring back from injury with a vengeance. Another one of those tackles on Dangerfield, please (unless Danger is playing for us ... :) )

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
