Correction: Brynne Edelsten's dress is seriously the second worst thing I have ever seen!!! Her head wins the worst thing I have ever seen by a country punt.

Mate I believe that ST was going home to play for Adelaide from the day he was drafted.

My clear memory of that time was similar to TS.

The day TS took a two year deal I knew was not going to stay, family said sit it out for two years and see what develops.

My memeory of ST was that his family wanted him home in Adelaide.

It would not have mattered who drafted him he was going back home sooner or later.

I have never thought of him as a player we lost because I never believed he wanted to be anywhere else but home in Adelaide.

The dees were just a stop alone that journey.

good players rarely leave good clubs.

The MFC didn't try hard enough, or didn't know how.

It was during the Gardner reign.

But his team got smashed every week pretty much, plus Bennell would take a few votes. I reckon GC were better last year than this year so I would expect him to get about the same amount of votes.

Kennedy is still my top tip, tons of possies in a top 4 team, and Goodes had an average year so I think JK will get most of the attention. Under the radar a bit because he's not from a Vic club.

Bennell could not get a kick in a football factory

Oh you mean that Bennell!

Our midfield has been rubbish ever since he left.

Apologies to Jonesy.

Awwwwww........ what about Beamer last year? 19 Chas votes? What could have been if he slimmed down and bought in as Neeld demanded, eh?.......

(awaiting a barrage of abusive posts....)

Sam Mitchell over Thompson and Cotchin for mine.

Kennedy will be on 12 after 4 or 5 games and not poll again till Round 17. Him and Cotchin are the two lay's of the night in my opinion. Beams to beat Swan in Collingwood votes is a decent bet, and I think it'll be a trifecta in some order of Watson, Thompson & Ablett.

Just slapped a fifty on Micthell for the Medal and 10 for the double.

Only because the world is conspiring against me and I hate him so much.

I can't stand the idea that only players from the winning side can win best-on-ground perfrmances. It is an evolution of modern Brownlow voting that would have made players from the past seethe.

Bobby Skilton

Gary Dempsey

Kevin Murray

These blokes were guns and champions and would thrive in any era. They went in, got it, played inside and outside abd were rarely beaten. They are also the reason why the word "fairest" should remain the first word in the trophy, before "best". Modern Brownlow voting is too much about the bestplayer in the winning side, and not about the fairest and best footballer.

Ablett should rock it in, but I am not sure if the umpires will give him enough votes considering how often GC lost.

Sam Mitchell will probably win it

Scott Thompson played four years for Melbourne. Hardly a bloke that was going home the day he got here....

As for the line 'his family wanted him home'... I just don't know what to say to that,

Dead set. I'm having a relapse!

She really needs to spend more on material for her dresses.

She truly puts the ass in Brassy.

The Dodgy Doc is a tripper.

Why couldn't he just find a nice Jewish girl instead ?

His mother would be turning in her tomb.

She'll make Bingle look like Geoffrey Robertson.

A whole TV show dedicated to an orange cleavage.

FFS-I really hope they dont show it during meal times.

yep

Yeah you're probably spot on there, Thompson has had a slightly better year I reckon, but the umps don't like him much, read somewhere he has the highest free kick differential or something along those lines... Still, great year for a 2nd placed team, has a chance

My expectation is that her show won't last three weeks but then again, Big Brother caters for imbeciles and that's still going.

My concern is how on earth did Brynne crack an invite? The only way it could be possible is that the Seven Network is shamelessly cross promoting her forthcoming programme.

Oops, I'm having another relapse. She was on again!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
