Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

Well, it's season effectively over for the Rovers, which means it's Winter Sale time.

Looking for my final 'keeper' for 2013, having already settled on three of them.

Happy to take a hit so that you can improve your chances of winning the flag, but I'll be expecting a gun in return. Have already made bids for Ablett Jnr and Swan (still waiting the outcomes of those) but don't let that stop you from putting in your best bid.

Players available:

Ryan Griffin

Daniel Rich

Shannon Hurn

Michael Hurley

Jarad Waite

Alwyn Davey

Tom Bellchambers

Lachie Hansen

Shaun Atley * (qualifies as rookie keeper)

Ian Callinan

Brandon Matera * (qualifies as rookie keeper)

Liam Jurrah

Matthew Lobbe

Hit me with your best shot. Fire away!

Well done Dappa Dan - Solid win in the end

Strangely i couldn't get my nose infront all weekend however I was confident I would reel you in.

Enter Sam Mitchell & Dan Hannebury, 42 Handballs between them is insane.

The Big Mummy came up 1 hit out short & suddenly I get smashed.

Going to be tough from here for team OMR however while there is still a slight chance for the 8 I will keep swinging hard.

Fortunately I play 3 teams in the mix for the 8 in the final rounds so anything still might happen.

Well done to all other winners in round 16 - This really is a great comp

Happy to scrape home today against HT - I think it was 4 categories by very very small margins - 1 hit out, 2 tackles, 3 marks and 5 behinds!

Getting really hard to scrape out wins leading I to finals, need some big guns to return from injury.

Yes. Good win Jako. Very close despite the 12-3 scoreline.

That was the last nail in my coffin for the 2012 season I would suggest.

If you want Bartel to go with Dal Santo for next year with Sidebottom and Greene as your kids let me know and we might arrange something...

You sound desperate- don't worry as I will not make the top 8. Bartel is not worth trading as a keeper next year. Robbo will belt me as will MM and Dappa will be hard to roll last round. I need to win one to make the 8, therefore give me Bartel for say, Wunderlink. Help a poor bugger like me out.

Despite the loss my bargain scrapheap forward line of Hansen, Gumbleton, Matera and Alwyn Davey - all picked up for nothing during the season - produced 10 goals 6 behinds - which goes to show it is possible to rebuild a shitty list.

Leuenberger's round two season ending achilles killed my side, though. Then Waite went down, Hurley succumbed to three hammies and don't mention losing Jurrah before a ball was bounced in anger.

Don't draft injury prone stars. Lesson learned for next season!

You never know, jcb...

But if you are keen we can work something out. But as a warning - Bartel is susp for another week - hence why I am trading him...

I know he's got a tainted name around here but any interest in Scully? He's an underage keeper and will no doubt be a keeper for years to come. Currently though, he just isn't cutting it for me. Any trades for a high possession winning mid or forward would be strongly considered

Um...no. I had him earlier in the season and admittedly he was serviceable but not outstanding for me. Much prefer his teammate Greene who is a big find for GWS.

In fact, if they swapped pay packets for Greene and Scully it maybe about right !

Sorry to deflate all your tyres on the 'jeep' and put paid to your season.Full credit due for hanging in there all season.

Been there,done that. Those 'hack' forwards of yours posted a great score, it caught me by surprise.

Good luck for the remainder of the season,and beyond.

Why all this angst against Juddy?

Eye gouge = was trying to remove grit from said players eye

Pressure point incident = was only checking pulse on said players person, to make sure he was alive

Elbow into Pavs snout = its so big I couldnt avoid it

Chicken wing = I told him his shoulder was dodgy, and when I checked it went pop.

Let's be totally honest, he has been as big a disappointment as Trenners has been this season.As a keeper you would have to be kidding.

You have done a great job stickin in there this year.Early favorite for next year. And still could be a major threat for minor premiership if I am not in it.

Hurry hurry,hurry. Grande sale Grande sale. Only days left for trading. And some of the action going on with UF, is rivalling the Stock Exchange.

If I may take some time to 'gloat' I am in unfamilar territory, currently on the 7th floor, (nice view up here,I might add). As I look down to the basement level I see a new face sitting there, JA. If JA needs a hand navigating around the basement. I know it extremely well,so feel free to seek out directions.

/end of gloating (as it may be short lived /

Its going to be tight with some intersting games to come. Good luck to all the coaches.

IF I get kicked out of the 8, I have names and address. -_-

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
