Does anyone know what Viv Michie is doing with his football career? I always had a soft spot for him and felt at times he was not given enough games in a row to prove his worth.

    And you call yourself a Melbourne supporter OB? For shame! ;)
    Many of the blokes on this board would be well versed in VAFA and with good reason.

    Anyone notice old mate Sameal hasn't logged on to demonland since mid October last year? About the right time Viv was delisted.

    I assumed he was a close friend or relative. Viv Michie wouldn't say boo to anyone (although he may have been more chatty with the keyboard)

    I'm pretty sure his story was that his son was Viv's best mate or something like that.

    He definitely had a strong Viv bias (funny moment when @Wisebloodstarted referring to him as if he was Viv). He was a good poster though, it would be a shame if he goes away now that Michie is gone.

    Great to see Viv playing at Collegians. He is a Wesley boy and will enjoy playing under Shane Joyce. I know Matty Jones was keen to get him down at the Kennel (South Croydon) but playing with school mates got him over the line. (and no doubt the nice job Collegians would've found for Viv.)

    I had a lot of time for Michie. Felt he got the worst end of the Sub Position when it operated. I wish him all the best.

    Just threw it out there to see if I could get a bite

    truly don't understand how Ammo s can recruit players fresh from AFL when there is so much big money available in the Bush and Suburban Leagues

    Just asking

    They use their contacts to arrange well paying jobs for players. Mostly it's above board and legal, sometimes it's a bit suspect. 

    There's other reasons why players choose the Ammo's though.

    No drinking at games = far less abuse over the fence
    Can play with their mates from school
    Not getting paid means less pressure to be the star player
    Less violence than some country and suburban leagues
    Convenience - they can train once a week and play locally in Melbourne
    Quality facilities and medical support

    The other aspect is I don't think the Ammo's has a set points limit. The points system is one to keep teams equal in country and suburban leagues where by each player is assigned a points grade. Ex AFL player being the highest number of points. But after a year out of the AFL system playing in the Ammo's a players points will go down. It can be a useful step down year before heading to the bush.

    I know it's still called the "Amateurs" but are players allowed to be paid (and I mean officially, not under-the-counter payments)? I thought I had read somewhere that it's now "amateur" in name but the rules banning payments have been modified somewhat.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
