Aidan Riley, the unspoken about gem

When do we play Carlton again?!

Even if Pigdog's not at full fitness, I hope the match committee select him for this game. Match ups are a relevant consideration after all ...

Saturday 12th April

However you may not get your wish as Robinson is not a regular starter at the Blues nowadays.

You may have to rely on Casey.

I'm glad he made that bruise free footy comment! Woke up the entire playing group!!

*has visions of Robinson backing into a marking contest and Jesse Hogan coming the other way…..

Correct me if I am wrong jr but that was in 2011 before 186.

Six wins from 54 games later it does not seem to have changed a lot.

I reckon that supporters are more worked up about that than the players.

As well half the players from that year are gone

We owe Mitch Robinson plenty.....

Mind you, Mitch Robinson, although a thug and a cretin, unfairly cops it for branding MFC as "bruise-free footballers."

It actually came from a commentator (Dermie, I believe) and Robinson was merely asked if he agreed, to which he stupidly repeated the phrase and then gave a non-committal answer.

But he did belt a casey player, giving him a concussion.

Was it Bail?

Yeah, Bennell and Morton came in for the "Bruise-Free" event which didn't aid the cause.

I missed all of the second quarter looking for my Carlton-supporting mates which was a fortunate stroke.

It was immediately before we played Essendon, I believe.

Another of our string of upsets against the bombers during those years.

Unprovoked cowardly act behind the play. Bail's first & probably most severe concussion.

I would think Harmes would be ahead of Jetta based on the training reports.

So would I , we all know what Nev offers time to try some new blood.

Bail has never been the same since - no tribunal penalty, for anyone, can be severe enough for any hit to the head, especially behind play.

Correct. New breed coming through.....but I reckon that interview will still be played, somewhere, sometime, some place....

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
