Call me vindictive, call me whimsical, call me as mad as a cut snake but gee I loved it when Skulldog, a former no 1 draft pick only got ... 1 solitary vote in the Brownlow.

What a magnificent career he is carving out at Greater Western Shizen!

I put this entry yesterday morning in 'The Brownlow' thread. Maybe everybody just assumed I was talking about Buddy.

They are not getting paid even close to $1million PA

Between the 28 of them, maybe.

Picket, it is nice to be able to agree with you!

At a simple level, I'll always be annoyed seeing someone keep taking a million dollar salary when they're not worth a fifth of it.In any context.

I'm not that fussed about him going in the first place, it was an offer too good to refuse and we were well compensated.

But it was the lying, the bare-faced lying that really got up my nose.

A near-consensus No. 1 draft pick, including in his own eyes, and now a total dud.

1 million dollars for 1 brownlow vote wow and we got hogan thanks tom

No, it's actually $1.1m per year, remember fatty daddy's $100k a year recruiter side deal was found to be 'abnormal' & as such counts as part of their players salary cap!!!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's 1 vote more than 28 players on our list.

And all 28 are better value than sculldogmilliionaire & co (fat daddy makes quite an expensive entourage)....... They won more games than us & this is an award which is very much weighted towards midfielders. 1 vote by him is a disgrace.

If they had any real supporters they'd be livid, and that's the one thing that saddens me, he largely gets overlooked as a massive fail as a result.

Sheedy: I wont target Bombers

Speaking of Scully ...

Really

"I never went after Fitzroy players or others at clubs that have really been struggling.

My job really was always to try and develop players that other people may not have wanted or didnt think they were good enough.

Apparently we weren't struggling when he went after Scully.

While I don't give a rats &%rs about scully, it amazing me the amount of money he gets paid its not questioned regularly about his performance. But I think it basically illustrates that no one cares what happens in bankstown.

    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
