Did the umpire throw away his whistle?

I think he swallowed it. Contact above the shoulders seems to be allowed at training. First against Trenners, then against Gus

    Sometimes I just marvel at how they don't all end up with bits of them twisted off, snapped, and hanging from one last sinew.

    You'd think that all it would take is two players bound up in a wrestle, and another to bump them unintentionally and unexpectedly while going past, and by the time the ground gets involved it is hospital time.

    But there is some kind of deep human instinct for the 'instant release' at the critical moment. After all, almost all human wrestling and push-shove is between children who are quite close.

    Keep not breaking eachother, kids!

    Brilliant 666 - or should that be DCLXVI (spooky).

    The MFC should pay you - far superior photos than the offical AFL ones in so far as they really show what is happening.

    With Jones, trac, Trenner, VB and Kent we have no shortage of thunder thighs

    Great sequence.  Love how Trengove got pushed away by Jones, but he stayed int he contest and laid the main tackle on Gus.

    I'd just love it if Jack could cement a spot in our starting 18 each week.  Has been said endless times on here, but the bloke deserves it.  We know he had the ability.

    Triple I think it is frowned upon around here to operate under a nom de plume. 

    I forgot my password whilst travelling and created a 2nd secret identity, I think it was ManDee in Vietnam. They never worked it out, phew.

    666, dclxvi, what's in a name? They are both the number of the beast. One for the present and the other I used when dealing with Julius Caesar.

    The truth be known 666 on my PC and dclxvi on my phone.

    This is why I like Demonland. I love all the MFC stuff, but then you learn things. Like 666 in Roman numerals is actually all the numerals less than 1000 in descending order. And then a bit of parallel research tells me that 666 is also the sum of the numbers from 1 to 36 added together. What's not to like about Demonland?

    And aka won the Brownlow in 2001 which was the 74th Brownlow. So if you multply 2001x74=148074 div by 666 = 222 x3* = 666

    * 2001 first of three flags 

    Spooky and it's Friday the 13th and this year we will win our ?th flag

    Pity you couldn't find room for the number 1729 in your maths treatise.

    (And your arithmetic is wrong. 2001 x 74/666 X 3 = 667!)

    I still love Demonland, though.

    There's always one.

    That's it, minus one equals 666

    Back on track.

    The obvious increase in muscle, on the players, is very pleasing.

    Combine that with increased fitness, more talent and a good game plan and you can't help but be excited for the years ahead.

    PS. I wonder if anyone told Gus to go forward when he picked up the ball, instead of turning back into trouble.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
