$cully fit and ready to go

Recommended Posts

I'm sorry , as a fanatical supporter ( not necessarily compatible with rational ) I feel a bit crook every time there is a fresh $culls post .i reserve the right to have contempt for the bloke. I always remember when the then very cocky young Nathan Buckley departed Brisbane " to play Finals football" i thought "gee i hope this comes back to bite you on the posterior" !

All you say may be true but if you going on hating it consumes you.

My father was on the Kokoda track in 1942, for years he would not allow anything made in japan in our house not even a cheap toy .

By the 80,s he had a Japanese Car, TV and numerous other items.

When I pursued him on the subject he said "How long can you go on hating".

Live goes on, I have had my quota of hate it was making me as bad as the people I hated".

Put it all behind you guys, the MFC is more than one person.

Agree with all you've said OD.

However, I'll still find it very hard to bite my tongue come the time we play against GWS.

Fair comments OD. But don't worry i am not losing sleep...i just do not want to completely forget as i never want it to happen again.

These articles where it is stated that T$ is fighting fit only rub the dirt in a little further...

Still can't help making the comparison between $ and Gary Ablett Jnr. Similar controversy and circumstances but not character. Gary went out with a bang and played out one of his best seasons for the cats as a parting gift. Still a favorite son down there after the initial hurt of his departure. We end up with a season of lies and malingering that humiliated the club and supporters.

Still a favourite son? I understand where you're coming from, but would there have been sour grapes if the Cats had a slide in 2011? Hypothetical, I know....

Ablett is still a Geelong Favourite Son...$cully is most certainly not.

I see it this way. He is gone. He is not an MFC player therefore he is of little concern to me. We have plenty of young kids on the list. We have 2 first round picks, to be used possibly this year, plus Viney, so we will have lots of young talent coming through over the next few years. We are in a healthy list position having added Clark as a bonus. I look forward optimistically to our future.

Me too that is what I am on about.

I will follow two teams this year. MFC, and the team that plays GWS.

You might say I'm taking my eyes off the ball, and that I should just concern myself with all things Demon in 2012. But every time I see/read an article on young $cully my skin crawls and I feel like putting my fist through my laptop screen. I can't explain my thinking. Anger management issues perhaps.... I just can't wait for us to tear the crettin a new one in round 13!!!

Not just us. Every footballer who thinks he is underpaid, under appreciated or just looking for glory will salivate at the opportunity to get a crack at this overpaid upstart. Chances are someone will get him before us. He will be a red rag to many bulls.

Anyone who is $till bitter about the $cully $aga (including myself) just need$ to a$k themselve$ the Que$tion...... $cully or Clark??

Although the $aga was unfortunate and practically rewened an entire season I still think we have won out of this in the end I do believe we will get the last laugh.

Mitch Clark is a much better footballer than $cully and will always have a greater ability to have a huge influence on a match. We wouldn't have had room in our $alary cap to lure Clark to Melbourne if $cully was still on the list.

My conclusion is yes it was devastating for all supporters and caused great grief for the best part of a year but we have certainly won out of this and we WILL get the last laugh.

Got my vote R'leg. Great analogy Old Dee with extremely old dee on the Kokoda. Festering only harms those that do it.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
