That i would Colin. Up until last week Ollie hadn't missed a game including 2 Final series.

And some people are hammering me!!!

We have some deadset soft supporters

If it makes you feel any better I'm sure BBO would be prepared to let you deliver a good beating with a long stick in order to get your anger out.....

I would never trash anybody who works for one of the most under funded footy departments ( development departments ) - recruiting departments in the AFL. ( All be it we have improved in this area thanks to funding from the AFL )

What is done is done. Last time I looked Jimmy T was running around in a Red & Blue jumper and thats good enough to get my 100% support.

Fair go mate. That kind of support is what Satyr gives out.

I want Top End September action before i leave the planet. Last time i looked Jimmy T was wearing a Scorps jumper, because he absolutely crapped himself in front of goal.

I am with you, but you got to let that go now.

This is a new era. Different, more competent recruiters.

This era would have picked the ready made bull over the timid rabbit.

Shut up stuie.

Think you are missing something "I would never trash anybody who works for one of the most under funded footy departments ( development departments ) - recruiting departments in the AFL. ( All be it we have improved in this area thanks to funding from the AFL )"

If you want Top end September action you first better get your hand in your pockets or hope enough other MFC supporters are going to do the biz for you.

I hope Mike is reading all this before he goes to air as background!!!

GET STUCK IN MIKE :)

You have no idea how many $$$ i have donated to the MFC.

But you just keep tucking little Jimmy T into bed each night. Make sure he is warm enough.

Meanwhile our midfield is smashed when put under ANY pressure.

Its not all about you SWYL. You need a large community to give. Sadly we have a small community giving . Unless we can reinvent the MFC quickly things are going to be tight for many years to come.

You want to feel better? Nothing he says will make you feel better.

Get behind Toumpas. He is one of ours. Wines is not.

I'll be staggered if Mike asks this. I'd be surprised if he even knows it occurred. Todd Viney filling in as chief recruiter for a year is an asterisk at the bottom of a page; nobody but die-hard MFC teeth-gnashers know or care that Viney recruited for us or who he picked or who he didn't pick.

There are a lot of interesting aspects to the Viney tale Mike could cover, and this definitely isn't one of them.

None of us are shareholders. You've got tickets on yourself.

We saw (again) yesterday arguably the best player of a generation: Nat Fyfe - wasn't even taken in the first round.

The draft = informed guesswork. Very happy with Todd's work.

And what would that be Frosty?

I was just dialoguing that classic scene from A few good men with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise. You want the truth "Sir Why You Little" about why Toumpas over Wines I agree we all want to hear this little pearler.

I want the truth about why you have gone incognito Frosty

Sorry Bitter trying to put up another image to try and improve my popularity on here. Any suggestions?

Because Toumpas was the standout choice at the time. Toumpas has proven to be an ordinary selection but recruiters don't get the benefit of hindsight.

FWIW, you were one of the 148 Demonlanders who voted Toumpas.

Mike should confirm if the Mark Neeld/lollies in the coach's box story and the story of his run in with Stefan Martin are true.

Sorry mate, but he blew a 10 year Brownlow prospect

I want to know why

Because predicting the future remains impossible, no matter how loudly critics will squeal if you make a mistake.

I hear you squealing, but it has changed nothing, and will change nothing. But you keep at it, buddy. Everybody loves a broken record.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
