I really Prendergasted that one

I was convinced Nick Smith (who?) was going to be a dominant power forward after serving his apprenticeship...

I told my mate he would win a brownlow

That Craig Smoker will win a Coleman medal-mark my words.

So many. So very many. My worst though was not a player. It was Bailey. hook line sinker.

I bought the whole development coach line...the idea of talentEd kids growing under his leadership...

You know, the while self disclosure is supposed to make you feel better. It really doesn't.

Juice newton would kick 100 in a season.

Ps daz dees did nick (4 to 6) smith ever actually play a game?

He played 4 games (including the 2006 Semi - coming in for an injured Jamar) for 9 disposals and 5 hitouts.

I've had far too many prenderdasts to list them all here, but the greatest of all was believing in Prendergast!

Well I told my disgruntled dad in April 2008 to be excited because we were going to draft an amazing athletic Fijian kid who could leap over opponents in a single bound.

Thank god that didn't come true.

During Bates first year I stated he could become a similar type and quality a player as Ryan O'Keefe!

I may have been one of those guilty of hailing him as "The Red Pav"

I was pretty Prendaghast at my prediction that "Brock McLean will win a Brownlow one day."

I will own up to that one too, a Brownlow as Captain of MFC what is more!

That Jurrah and Wonaeamirri would lead us to a premiership.

Sadly we have been let down badly by both - sure it is "circumstances" or "culture" or whatever, but nonetheless teased and let down.

I once said the Bay City Rollers would be as big as the Beatles.

I thought that Colin Sylvia would have a break out year in 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013?

That Matty Bate would thrive as a mid fielder

I can't go on there are too many and I'm starting to cry

As guilty as you on the Colin one; and still am silly enough to think that 2013 may be his breakout year, and the big Charlie.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
