From the BF board: 

 

"viney gawn and jones also carrying illness, but apparently well enough to play. seems like something going through the club. Hopefully we're not flat"

 

That's a bit of a worry!!

If it's true.

Every Melbourne supporters reaction when Viney slams Robinson into the MCG turf in the first minute of the game:

It can stem from an inability to mature properly and form adult relationships. But this is not the time or place to discuss it.

So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that ab

Have just heard it on good authority that 21 of our 22 players are struggling with this "mystery" illness....

Only Bernie Vince is 100% fit although struggling slightly with a hangover

:cool:

Conspiracy?

some people  have been putting illness in quotes - implying they are suggesting there is something else going on.  Tin-hats on everyone.

Convenient that the names mentioned are our key players.

Does it happen to be affecting Garland, Hunt, Wagner, etc.

once they cross the line they're fit, if they have a bit of a bug, or winter cold, then run through it for 2 hours and they're done. every club has bugs go through the team but still field 22 players. I got a text saying that about 6 players were carrying a bit of an illness. First time I've ever got "inside info" and posted it. A friend was out for dinner with someone that works at the club last night.

That's a fair point. Perhaps the Lions would be more worried about the Bugg that's about to run through them.

I wrote illness in quotation marks because I was quoting a quote. Or maybe I'm part of a grand conspiracy to bastardise punctuation marks?

My mates a bulldogs supporter and just asked what he thought we'd go like today and she said the team seemed up but half a dozen players were a bit ill, he sent me the three names and tyson, my mate loves winding me up at the same time, but the illness seems to check out. Could be pulling my leg on the other names, but Tyson was correct.

Sounds like rubbish to me. Sure 22 may run out, but if players have say a cold, then it must affect their ability to run for 2 hours.

Sounds like people on here are already making excuses about illness in case we lose. FFS they are professional footballers.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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
