I'm disappointed... tipped Freo to win by 43pts... I'm a long way off the mark!

Doesn't matter who u tipped ht cause the tipping site is down and I think and dont quote me they said that because of this everyone will get the tip right which sucs.

I tipped Freo too but only by 25 points I think as I can't remember but can't check either.

Table 30 & there's a big crowd in tonight. If we ever win a flag they'll have to put tables on the ground itself. Players on my table Max Gawn and Bernie Vince. They haven't arrived yet. Bernie's

Paul Roos introduced with a montage of clips, mainly from On the Couch, dating from mid 2013 on the subject of whether he would coach Melbourne. Went from "no" to 50:50 to him being appointed.

Paul Roos is very impressive - I'm sure his talk will be screened on the MFC site and will probably become the subject of another thread so I won't go into much detail here. He did say it was a night

Very good night interesting to hear the comments from the players about the difference between Neeld and Roos and just how much happier they are now. The players actually love going to work now and we are focusing on being the best team Melbourne can produce rather than being a poor imitation of Collingwood.

Roos, Bartlett and Jackson were all impressive; Roos in particular said he was happy with the group of players he inherited and said it doesn't take too long to turn it round if you have all the players doing all the things they have to in every game.

There were 650 people there tonight and a waiting list of those that couldn't get tickets; it's been a long while since that's happened.

Why do people want to know if Mitch Clark was there specifically? If he wasn't there, I am sure there were plenty of others who also weren't there and I'm sure the club would have had it's reasons for not having them there.

Mitch wasn't there, it was mentioned that Mitch hasn't been at the club for a little while, he's taking a break.

Some of the guys reckon Chip will stay, he loves the club and the other payers but I guess if we fall in a hole this year that mat not be enough and he could move.

I saw a current day club personality last week and chatting about the team and I said it will be good to have a forward line as we haven't had one for a few years. He said the person we really need on the park is Mitch. However, it was his forlorn voice and expression that suggessted he won't be in the team for a fair while. Had he said 'don't worry Mitch will be back soon' I would be a lot more optimistic.

Sorry BH, didnt want to put a downer on your morning. The writing on the wall just seems so painfully obvious to me. The Club has its reasons for spin and with holding info on the situation and perhaps they dont even know at this stage. a bit frustrating however.

Anyway, bring on the Saints!

Mitch is taking a break from the club.....a friend who was there asked one of the players where he was and revieved a forlorn reply that he had done a calf,and now needs a break fromthe club and footy.

If he is doing all these injuries with basically zero stress load, how the hell is he ever going to play footy again.

That's pretty much what I was told.

Shattering news and only confirms in my mind what I feel will end up happening. He couldve been an absolute gun. So many pundits have forgotten just how good he was in '12. he really took some games by the scruff of the neck. To think we may never have that tandem of him and Hogan in the fwd 50 is gut wrenching.

But you have to feel for Mitch. He must be as low as can be about the whole thing. Completely frustrated.

Don't for forget that M Richardson had the same issues after his injury.

It's very frustrating but that's what I am holding on to.

Sorry demonox but I do not remember these issues he was basically out for a season than came back with none of the crap effecting Clarke

Thats right , its been two seasons out for Clark now, with no sign of coming back in the near future.

U r right o d as Clark had trouble with the screw in his foot which Richo didn't. So hopefully he comes back even if he is longer in recovery.

Deeply dissapointing about Mitch, one can only imagine how hard it would be going through that, watching his side getting belted every week and knowing he's our best player and can't help

Poor bloke.

He's the individual at the heart of this.

We can have a whinge about our collective luck, our salary priorities, and a draft pick but he chose to come here and played so recklessly and for the cause of the club that he endangered his life a few weeks before he endangered his career.

I know a Roos led MFC will do what's best for him and the club.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
