    It's been getting hard lately reading/posting on demonland, what with having to wear a gas mask and all

    I was thinking that this year instead of an inter-forum football match we should have an intra-forum contest with the apologists & pollyannas versus the doomsayers & chicken-littles - pitchforks at 20 paces should do the trick

    Unfortunately DC I think I might fall into the Doomsayers camp.

    I bet A & P get sharper forks!

    Dam there I go again.

    Ha ha ha !

    True story - I played against Tony in 1976 (in the thirds) when he played for Reservoir/Lakeside . I was playing for Diamond Creek (Demon jumpers) and Shaw didn't look very likely to ever play League footy . We all knew he was Ray's brother but we never thought he would make it to VFL level . From that game he was the only player who did .

    Just goes to show how far determination can take you . Barging into a tree whilst running in a marathon requires a single-mindedness that not many of us have ! Speaking of heads , I still shake mine at how much success he had as a footballer . I can still picture him from that game , running along the boundary line with the ball , not getting very far , very quickly !

    All that aside , we could do with somebody like Shaw in our midfield right now . He serves as a constant reminder to me that the game is all about "Above the Shoulders ."

    His commentary ain't great though !

    Poor Tony finds it hard to get anyone to listen to him at the best of times but this latest gem shows what a philosopher of the game he is .

    Tony comes from a family that thinks Melbourne supporters drive around in Rolls -Royces eating caviar ,drinking champagne and playing golf all day while they go and work in the boot factories where even poor dumb Tony can get a job .

    Hes Right in my case except its a Range Rover ,

    and in his case the old boot factory is now known as The Herald Sun .

    Time to pop my bottle of Breakfast Moet and read The Age .

    Biff friggin brilliant I [censored] myself laughing at your post man... That is after 3 Johnny Walker greens , a cigar and a little knee tickler I just gave my wife

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
