On 6PR this morning said he's looking to play on at another club. Thinks he has at least 2 years in him and maintained his fitness while refereshened up during his suspension.

Good experience and a superb tagger if we want to free up Vince and Viney.

Would be a very cheap pickup as a DFA.

Roos is trying to build a culture and you start a thread thats quite the opposite to what we are trying to achieve?

Bizzare

I'm currently questioning the culture building, we've recruited 2 people, who were 100% involved in the worst culture imaginable.

I don't see anything bizarre about it. Roos is trying to build a culture that puts the team first, we play as a team a unit not of self serving individuals. The essence of the team is about playing your role, now correct if I'm wrong but crowley is pretty damn good role player who certainly puts the team first.

And had no control over the decisions made, and removed themselves from that environment shortly thereafter...

Unless you're referring to Melksham, who again had no control over it, and again removed himself at the earliest opportunity.

I'm referring to Goody and Jake. I accept that they were most likely caught up in something they had no control over but there is the possibility that they were indeed complicit or, caught up in the "whatever it takes" and associated possible benefit of success. I bet they were feeling pretty good about themselves when they were flying on the field. Who knows? Only the people at Essendon know what went down. I'd have preferred we just avoid them like the plague.

McCartney was there too.

He and Goodwin are class acquisitions by the club.

No one should blame the younger players at Essendon at the time of the cocktail party either. Poor kids were used as human pincushions.

If anybody wants to point their finger it should be firmly aimed at 'he who had a 6 week Bali holiday tan in the middle of a cold Melbourne winter'.

Ironing out this bloke with a shirt front, and calling Danners to tell him he was too hung over to play are my only two memories from Byron Pickett's time at the MFC.

Wasn't it Brett Peake? I thought it was but you're probably right.

I remember whoever it was bounced about 10 feet in the air.

A very good point. Poignant.

Went looking for a video, but all I could find was this thread: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/pickett-wont-get-4-just-2-i-reckon.241695/

2006. Nearly 10 years ago. :o

Yep was definitely Crowley. Broke his cheekbone according to Wiki.

So it was even better than I remembered.

    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
