I thought Cale Morton would be an Adam Goodes Mach 2.

Cale done a great job at bluffing me, he done a good job tagging Goodes

and hasn't been sighted since.

Nowadays I just cringe when I see Morton listed.

I had Robert Cuthbertson's number on my new footy jumper as a kid. Most recently I told anyone that would listen that Liam Jurrah would be the greatest Aboriginal to pull on footy boots

Finally I remember walking into Video Ezy and seeing a small patch allocated to DVD's

then telling my mate they will never take off

You should have worn Darren's - he played more. Who's Robert?

Juice newton would kick 100 in a season.

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

Was that 100 kicks or 100 goals? Don't know if he even reached the first.

I thought Michael Clark will be an awesome footballer.

Don't remember who he is? Don't feel bad, I'd have forgotten him too if it wasn't for a function in which he told me he broke both his arms "in a toilet incident".

Worst. Prediction. Ever.

Mark Latham will win this one in a landslide.

I recall watching the reserves at Princess Park back in 1998. Melbourne was playing Carlton. From memory Stinga returned in the Seniors that day and we beat Carlton. I think it was also the day Neitz broke his ankle in the pocket playing on Silvagni. I was sitting in the new Legends stand and I recall Ben Beams kicking 5 or 6 in the reserves, looking very lively and thinking this kid might make it long term for the Demons. Didn't quite turn out that way.

Thinking back Nathan D. Brown played in that game which may have been one of his first games (maybe even his debut - memory hazey) and did ok.

I've run through a possible scenarios in my head but I still have NFI how something like this happens..

I said Lucas Cook will be a gun

Morton will be a gun

Gysberts will be a gun

Cringing whilst I write this. I would like to apologise to the rest of demonland for my stupidity.

The fat lady has not sung on a couple of above Jonesbag.

Although she is limbering up.

Dogga's first game IIRC with his long blonde mop (ha).

We rolled the Blues by 2 points in a game that involved Seecamp belting Pearce.

Think it was also that game that ended Jimmy's streak? Or nearly did after a broken wrist (?).

I went with 'Howard's majority will be reduced/Latham will sneak in with a small majority'. I always knew it would be close. It hit hard after Bush had been re-elected a week earlier.

Oh this one's embarassing.

When Garry Ablett Jnr was very young I wasn't happy with all the hype surronding him for what I considered to be, at that stage, very minimal on field influence.

I believe I even said something along the lines - He is only hyped before of who is father is - on football ability alone he is Geelong's equivalent of Steve Armstrong.

In my defence this was at a time when I thought Steve Armstrong was a solid up and coming half forward, all I thought Gaz would become....

We kind of followed the States like a Conga line of suckholes didn't we.

    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
