"Engaging in groupthink" - used often here as a pejorative to attack other posters by people who aren't able to put forward a valid opposing argument against those with who they disagree.

(I'm sure that most posters here agree with me) :lol:

Everybody in the house says yeah

"run both ways"

It's not really a cliche but " Have a bex and a lie down " really shits me. Anyone under the age 40 has no idea what a bex is let alone taken one.

I am well over 40 but these days I have about 4 Becks and a good lie down

"will be a (an absolute) gun" has been for many years a condemnation to disaster at MFC - how many times did I read this of Morton, Maric, Gysberts, $cully, even Cook, 426 etc etc.

Hold your tongue until one can truly say "x is a gun"

But if we don't let posters say "Player X will be a gun" instead they'll write "Player X could be anything".

Surely that's worse.

Perhaps not on this site, but generally 'for mine' and 'coalface' really do it for me.

I have one rule - if you can imagine Luke Darcy saying it, keep it to yourself.

For mine I think Darcy is ok.

But "Could be anything" is more accurate as it means he could be a gun or a spud

Needs to build a tank,anything to do with tanks or tanking.

"Won't be part of our premiership side" or any dream forward line setups need to go!

"Could be anything"... Really? Could he be a microwave, or an air conditioning unit, or a paper clip? No.

Well we do try to hijack every thread. However, in our defence, what we have have to say is far more intelligent, articulate and worth considering than most other dicks that post here. However, I will grant an exception. If I am [censored] and Biffen is spun out on drugs, our posts are senseless!! eer hang on!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
