Excuse me? Trolling? Again? Have never trolled. Don't plan on it. Check your facts before you accuse posters, and show a little respect.

And no, they made the point in the program that they were dwelling on two separate players, and that it was vaguely comical. One with the surname Oliver and one with the surname Wines. Pretty much all their texts apparently were based around people who couldn't believe neither were on the ground in their starting AA midfield.

Here's a little fundamental about the development of language for you. People don't always communicate in a way that both parties enjoy or understand. The blame doesn't always lie with the person that conceives the wording. Sometimes, often in fact, the listener/reader is just a dingbat who either can't understand plain English, or refuses to.

Here's another fundamental for you. Check your facts before you go off half cocked. 

My sincere apologies Dappa Dan. I certainly didn't intend to offend. I was playfully referring to the chaos it caused when you referred to Oscar MacDonald as 'Ozzie' in a previous thread. Ironic, as part of that mock-rant spoke of effective communication and I'm afraid I failed miserably in having my tone understood. I don't think you're a troll and I'm sorry again to have upset you.

    Classy post Sku. And I think maybe a first in demonland.

    And yeah, I didn't quite see the playful tone. Maybe I'm just a bit of a dingbat myself. In any case...

    How good is Clarry!

    Not at all. I read it again just now and it came off as very harsh indeed. And apparently I'm writer by trade. It's time I learned how to use that cheeky Demon emoticon.

    To direct it back on topic, the numbers this kid is getting in his second year is phenomenal. Put him in a Collingwood, Essendon, or Richmond top and I reckon he'd be the talk of the town. Personally I'm quite happy for him to keep flying under the radar a bit.

    I would, but I'm afraid that Clarry would know my precise whereabouts and my girlfriend will find out.

    Along with the Oliver article, theres another article on the HeraldSun website comparing Christian Petracca to the greats of the game.

    I guess the lid is off.

    We could have another Greg Williams or Sam  Mitchell with Clarrie.

    I can't believe the quickness of his reflexes, and the awareness of his team mates' whereabouts.

    He can take a mark and kick well too, but those creative hand passes in close or at a distance are the hallmark.

    We've gone for years without genuine stars.

    We might have four by 2018. Oliver ,Hunt, Hogan and Petracca.

    Could Frost be up there,too?,and wouldn't it be great if Weideman develops as hoped.

    For decades we've had to worry about opposition stars. Soon they'll have to worry about ours.

    ( like '94 when we had Jako, Stinga, Lyon, Schwarta and Charles)

    By the way, most sides would love to have Tommy Mac back there, and I have high hopes for Oscar.

    It's getting very exciting.

    You forgot our All Australian ruckman.

    Also our new Co-Captain.

    Oh and if Jack Watts can continue his improvement...

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
