    Live life to the max. These guys are now programmed robots.

    Yes, but you're not an professional sportsman, at an elite level.

    Some of these posts surprise me. I don't know that people are quite grasping just what it takes at this level, and in particular, what it takes in terms of work, training and preparation. One missed recovery session can be enough to (seriously) impact on how you run out a game. Or not.

    I know a couple of pro and ex-pro sportsmen in other sports, and it's no different. It's a 24/24, 7/7 commitment, just to get that 1/2 percent extra that will make the difference.

    I know all that. But the media treats it like they have killed and maimed people. Its over the top.

    Connors has shown he can certainly play at elite level but appears to let himself down off-field.

    If he can get it together and produce a solid "incident free" VFL season, I'd be more than happy for him to land at the MFC.

    As for right now? Not much interest.

    Thats up to the club...they make the rules.

    Connors was on his thrid strike... he new it...and paid....that was their rules...and those that he had agreed to..

    Jurrah has more to worry about from a higher judiciary than the club.

    Jurrah's fate will come from the judicial law, not the club. But he certainly went home with intent, so i don't like his chances personally.

    People on here talk as if he will get off with a warning. Can't see it myself.

    I will be amazed if the jurrah pulls on a match day jumper again.

    Ive harboured similar thoughts.

    I suppose we'll know in the not too distant future.

    Strangely I dont think Connors career is necessarily over. ...Might depend how far hes prepared to travel..lol

    Heard that before he pulled on his last match day jumper when he proved most in the media and many on here wrong. Let it play out and see what happens.

    Sure. But he went up there for a reason, and its not hard to work out what for.

    No it's not hard to work out, he went up there because his partners sister had died. Let's not write anything more into it, the year has been hard enough as it is.

    And it's not hard to work it out wrongly. Who knows? Hadn't his sister-in-law just died? Foolish to guess. Cultural knowledge and evidence required, both for what happened and motivation if it did.

  • Quote

    WYL you are barking up the wrong tree if you are suggesting there was any premeditation or that he was looking for trouble by going there

    FCS he had been 'home' many times before AFTER the 'troubles' had started. This was just another trip home and because his sister in law died

    What happened then we don't know the details

    He told the club he was innocent of the charges

    We'll just have to wait for the trial and even then I doubt we will know all the 'truth'

    I agree with you DC

    But I am cynical enough to say he would say that would he not.

    I have a bad feeling about this whole episode.

    It would complete a perfect 2012 if it goes the wrong way.

    yes, that would be a perfect storm wouldn't it?

    a funeral, as I remember it being said at the time. you know better than that do you?

    none of us has any idea what went on. the court will make a serious effort to establish that. why have any of us the presumption to anticipate (in our near-total ignorance) what the court will find? what motive can we possibly have for speculating along these lines, given that he is one of our favourite players?

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
