I do like the crest with Jimmy & Sir Robert in it.

Have current players in the rest. Nathan Jones and the best players from the previous round? (That will keep you busy.)

    Acknowledging BB's excellent post on Neeta, I'd be happy to have just Chunk and Tulip either side of big Jim. The two players who have kept us going during the club's darkest days.

    Chunk and Tulip.

    Chunky Tulip.

    I think I just found my new Supercoach name.

    Scully, Clark, McClean, Morton and Wines. Just for the lols.

    & PJ the fab 4

    the re-builders of this once great old Club. this is enough...................................

    I agree- I definitely believe that Peter Jackson deserves be a part of the banner.

    He is probably the best administrator we've had in decades!!

    As for the players,I've gone for Tyson and as a recruit , Lamumba.

    No, it's for the players. PJ has done some great work but he isn't risking his neck on the field for our amusement. I forgot to add Lucas Cook, aka "The Cookie Monster" *cringe

    That's a fair point, but at the same time he is still a part of the club and is doing a superb job.

    As for your banner of shame- Lucas Cook definitely deserves to be there!!!!

    I vote for the Captain and I know currently we have Nathan Jones but would prefer to await the official

    announcement

    I see your Lucas Cook and raise you a Luke Molan

    PS In googling 'luke molan' I came across this:

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/from-david-schwarz-to-mitch-clark-with-plenty-inbetween-melbournes-forward-stocks-have-had-a-cursed-run/story-fni5f91a-1226879199657

    can you believe the anti-melbourne tone of that article ("when they tried to tank games" as if that is a fact), and the overall sense of 'rubbing it in' and basking in the glory of our misfortune... and the quoted comments by Schwarz himself, raking us over the coals suggesting karma has given us what we deserve! How can a 'news' article even discuss the existence of karma, suggesting some poor kid getting a bad run of injury has some 'cosmic' link to how Bailey and Connolly MAY have 'managed' the end of a particular season, FMD! Uneffingbelievable! I missed this at the time, but I now count 5 or 6 occasions over the last decade or so where Schwarz has publicly sledged the club in egregious fashion. Can you even name ONE other former 'champion' of a club who goes out of his way to sledge his former organisation. Can you imagine Riccuito, for example, being quoted in that fashion in commenting on the Crows? Does Schwarz hate this club or what? F him. /end rant

    My favourite line -

    "In 2011 indigenous marvel Liam Jurrah would kick 40 goals as a budding superstar who had to be benched when they tried to tank games, so easily did he conjure a goal".

    Just wow.

    Back on topic. The start of the new banner looks great. I like Jimmy and Robbie where they are. Keep the main section for the current players and possibly Roo's. Good stuff.

    Isn't it sad that N.Jones, Jamar and Dunn are basically the only players on our list who have played their careers at the MFC and can be trusted to go out every week and be solid AFL-worthy senior players. We have Cross, Vince and Lumumba also but we had to import them. It shows just how badly we have failed to manage our list and build a side. When you consider the corresponding groups at the top clubs you realise that this is the whole reason we stink

    and those 3 were all in the gun sites of us supporters at different times to be removed from this club... & they have continued to hang on, & grow.

    & the love childs are still kiddy players.

    Hard to argue with any of that.

    the Ox heart & soul. whelan, he'd cover your back, Grinter, team player hard as, Sean White would NEVER let you down.

    and both the jarman brothers for taking our money, but not coming over to play in our colours.

    neither did Jim Cardwell, but he was instrumental in our power years. as was 'Checker' Hughes who didn't play in RednBlue. but he gave first breath to the Demons.

    Flower and Stynes are icons, could they be highlighted even more? Roos and Jones would do me as representing the current team.

    PS. Feel free to post my pic as a way of attracting more readers and members to Dland.

    bbo doesn't have dreams, moonie. he just has nightmares.

    I would have thought that should be Knight mares dc??? just don't see him as a queen worshiper. :cool:

  • Quote

    I voted Viney.

    He'll Captain this club eventually. Quite possibly after Jonesy's tenure.

    I reckon you'd be hard pressed to find any other player with as much drive and passion for the club to succeed.

  • Quote

    I'm going with the following in no specific order:

    - N. Jones (enough said)

    - D. Tyson (gun)

    - J. Viney (heart and soul player)

    - H. Lumumba (I know he is new but he is a premiership player)

    - L. Dunn (become very consistent)

    - C. Dawes (good leader)

    Wait and see before adding: Hogan, JKH, Brayshaw, Petracca

    Dunn please

    Why Dunny?

    My memory of Dunny is in the fetal postion with Chappy standing over him in the famous game against Geelong after he'd tried to rough Chappy up in the quarter game break.

    He also KO'd Ro Bail who was wearing the injury vest at training and nearly ended his career. He's a perennial tough man against small opponents.

    He's played 136 games in 10 years.

    He was good for the first half of last year but tailed off like the rest of the team in the second half of the season.

    Good on you for supporting him but I can't for the life of me work out how he deserves to be recognized ahead of so many others.

    It's sad to see Neita looks like missing out. He's in that very select group of favourite players for me along with Robbie and Junior.

    At least I love ya Neita.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
