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.

    Let's hope Todd gives a full explanation tonight then hey.

    We the shareholders deserve it.

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    SS your favourite players are all duds. Time for an edit mate

    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.

    Anything except for that creepy photo of the guy with a beard you had before FD.

    Can I suggest Kenny Powers?

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
