For those that don't know. Mony Python - The Argument sketch

A man walks into an office.

Man: (Michael Palin) Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.

Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?

Man: No, this is my first time.

Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?

 

Excellent - I look forward to your work with the fish slapping dance!!  Actually, my favourite has to be the cheese shop sketch "sorry, I was deliberately wasting your time".

On JV, I share the man love. He is a pleasure to watch. Him and Vandenberg when on fire are making up for having to watch tripe these last few years. My son is dusting off his old Brad Miller jumper as we speak. I think he will continue to grow as an on-field leader through the year and others will naturally follow him. Suspension is his only enemy.

"Yes"

"Ok - I'll have some of that then."

"Oh sorry, I thought you were talking to me. Wensleydale is my name...."

Yeah this worrys me a little too, its not an intent to hurt but its the AFL's intent to over adjudicate.

That's what I was getting at too AW. He will get weeks sometime for hurting one of the leagues darlings, no matter how legal the tackle is. It will get adjudicated in hindsight. He is one driven and hard at it footballer. The snipers of the game need more scrutiny, not the JVs.

I would have thought Nathan Jones would be in the mix for toughest players in the comp, to play a quality season like he did last year with the injury he had is insane!! we are really fortunate with the tough players we're starting to assemble in our side.

The relief I felt after opening this thread to find Monty Python quotes rather than any Damien Barrett talk was immense to say the least.

Perhaps keep the chat to Viney in here and take MP (and Barrett) to the no TS thread (whatever happens in there...)

I could hardly be more impressed by his past 12 months and I wonder what his ceiling could be.

Would love to see him start to add some goal scoring power in the future as goal kicking mids are crucial in dominant teams IMO.

It's sobering to think that only two of his goals have been in games we've won. Geez we've been putrid!

Dunno what I expected when starting this thread but this wasn't it....maybe can merge with the Viney Made Me Cry thread (just remembered it now or I would've posted in there) and delete/move all the off topic posts?

Viney is an aggressive freak, someone I love who actually relishes hitting and being hit, the physical aspect of footy. Freakish goals and marks are great but winning a hard ball or sticking a big tackle is one of the great aspects of the game that I love watching and you can tell Viney just feeds off it. He is going to be hurting opponents for years to come and it's going to be a ;pleasure to watch. With him, Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca forming a midfield nucleus of hard nuts teams will hate playing us over the next decade.

Damian Barrett makes a positive comment about MFC!

 

I thought that was comedy gold.

Obviously a humorous thread.

When Melbourne wins, I read every single footballing site on the planet, BF included. You've got to know where to go - particularly in the lead up to the draft there's some quality reads to be found.

I'm exactly the same. My productivity for the week halves after a Dees win.

BF is a huge site and there is some really great posters/threads if you know where to look.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
