Oh No!

Give your vintage, old dee, I knew you'd struggle the most widely with this apparition.

    Convinced myself that Toumpas could play.

    Said nice things about Mitch Clark.

    Argued that Sylvia would come good.

    Said Stefan Martin would never be a footballers' bootlace.

    Believed Schwabby's whiteboard Wednesdays.

    Convinced myself that Liam Jurrah was a clean-cut tribal elder that would be AFL's greatest story.

    Sounds like you were very much a victim of Demonland group think at the time.

    The much touted Schwabian Era Melbourne Brotherhood turned out to be a great fraud. Nev Jetta the one most least likely out of that lot is the only one to make it.

    I was once convinced Roos was going to deliver us a premiership like he did the Swans, Jackson was going to take us permanently out of debt and transform us into a power club and that Hogan and Petracca would become top ten players of the competition and play in multiple Demon premierships.

    Seriously delusional.

    I still think we can win the '87 Premiership, every-time, prior to re-watching the Preliminary final match.

    yes sylvia, I must confess, thought he could come good.... well, was as wrong as anyone could be.

    i confess i have never attempted karaoke (or hari kiri for that matter)

    It's hara kiri (腹切り= literally stomach cutting).

    It's kind of redundant to say that really. If you had attempted it, you wouldn't be here to report about the experience.

    Move outside of Borewood and you too will learn about these things.

    good to see your sense of humour is as sharp as ever, col

    Towards the end of his first season, I told my mates Cale Morton would win a brownlow one day.

    Beat that!!

    needless to say i had to find new mates

    I also keep believing the many re-builds we have had will work

    also, im still cut about Scully leaving even though he is an average player

    man, its good to get all that off my chest!

    You could argue you were close with Morton. His best mate and fellow skinny kid who lived next door got the Brownlow.

    I moved from Victoria to Queensland in 2006, it was the last time the MFC played finals. I take full responsibility for the club becoming a mess after my departure.

    To make amends, I've decided to move back to Victoria at the start of 2016. History will show that when my postcode starts with a "3", we generally make finals. You're welcome.

    I have recorded this one billy.

    I am only too happy for you to be correct next September.

    Ugh, how about this thread I created in 2013 about how I felt hopeful after watching a Mark Neeld press conference.

    A MARK NEELD press conference.

    It's like waking up in the middle of the night with an embarrassing memory from high school. You still cringe.

    I just watched that game, too....

    Wow, footy's changed! No accountability, no system, no structure...

    We were damned good that day, but the Swans' players had zero accountability for their opponent.

    Ted, the last time we won a flag, Old Dee and WYL were in uniform, and I was still in liquid form.

    Let's just start with finals, and we'll see where that takes us!

    Are you now confessing to a drinking problem?

    (I reckon most of us here ought to have a drinking problem.)

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
