We don't know yet if the pies are going to play...

If they turn up with at least 10 players, it will be a 3-way contest...

If not, we will play a full game against bomberblitz...

Whispering Jack may put in a cameo appearance tomorrow... :wub:

    BREAKING NEWS...

    On the eve of the big game, Demonland has finally signed on a new coach.

    Happy to announce the appointment of former Melbourne Football Club President, Paul Gardner, as match day Demonland coach.

    The man who hired Dean Bailey had better perform better in the hot seat tomorrow.

    Get around him boys. He's been a great servant of our club.

    See you all at the ground in the morning.

    Reminder - highly ambitious attempt at a live call via http://mixlr.com/supermercado/. If first bounce is 11am I'll move the starting time back to 10.50 to give me time to work out who everyone is.

    As long as it's not a total disaster archives of the call will be available at that address afterwards.

    Dees win by 20 goals over the Bombers at Olympic Park.

    The lead was by over 10 goals at half time and with Paul Gardner coaching, I didn't expect the boys to let up and while I wasn't able to follow Supermercado's commentary but I'm sure the Chris Sullivan line cracke a mention at some point.

    Well done lads ... Reports to come.

    if the bummers get a few infractions you might see it sooner than later

    Unfortunately, we've already seen a similar scoreline this year...

    MANY THANKS

    to Paul Gardner for coaching...(he said it wasn't a difficult gig)...

    To supermercado for organising the live broadcast and bringing extra jumpers...

    to webber for assisting the umys and acting as stand-by medico...

    to the guys who brought extra numbers - brett, wise and steve the ruckman...(we would have been embarrassed for numbers without you guys)...

    to everyone who played today...(it was great to watch but I got a stiff neck from watching the ball going over my head)...

    to scotty21 from bomberblitz for organising so well...(he is the most-talented forum footy organiser I have ever come across)...

    We voted to forgive you, cowboy, as long as we won by 20 goals...

    you are forgiven... -_-

    your replacement at full-forward (bonna) was not too shabby... :)

    Anyone snap any photos?

    dunno, mate...

    the bench was a bit thin...

    and the players were a bit busy kicking goals...

    somebody got us on an I-phone singing the song at the end of the game...

    time will tell, I guess...

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
