Not wrong. 

 

Hate to argue with you Demonland, but he is wrong. For someone who's job is to read the news, I'm surprised he hasn't picked up on the point that the players and officials he's talking about are subject to stricter contact controls and mandatory testing twice a week. That's what makes them "special".

I concede. You have a point.

Assume we now are highly unlikely to play the Dockers on the GC. 
 

MOVE TO THE NT - games hosted in Alice Springs and Darwin 

Yep, I agree. Send them all to the NT.

Can we sell all of our games up there? Haha

kangaroos-move-12-players-four-staff-from-melbourne-lockdown-zones

We are one of only 3 clubs that didn't have to move people from lock down zones last night.  Roos had to move 12 players at a minutes notice.  Imagine the distress and impact of that on players and families.  Who knows when they will see each other again.  Ditto the impact of hubbing for SA and WA clubs for the last 4-6 weeks.

I reckon those factors equallise the impact of skipping the Ess game which will be played in due course, probably in a bye round.

So imv, from now on we (fans) can no longer claim that postponement overly disadvantaged us and folks that do are wearing blinkers tothe hardships other clubs' players are experiencing.

When we go into a hub so will all other Vic clubs.

It is now back to a relatively level playing field.  No more excuses.

...and the plot thickens.IE dead season.

"By the powers vested in me by no-one in particular, I hereby announce that Willmoy is not allowed to enjoy, celebrate or otherwise have any warm inner glow should the Melbourne Football Club win the 2020 Premiership."

 

Same goes for all the others saying this season should be dumped or doesn't count for anything. In fact, someone should put together a list of all those who have said so. Might make for an interesting read later in the year.

Mind you, I don't expect us to win the flag this year, but whoever does absolutely will have earned it.

Are security guards low in immunity or low in IQ? I’m seeing a strong correlation between these people and the second wave of Covid in Victoria. The mind boggles. 

Or do not regard our advice with much respect.?    Perhaps a disregard for our ways.

There seems to be a culture in areas,  where the word of our health professionals has met with little regard.

How are the security guards at the quarantine hotels and getting caught sleeping with quarantined people. Also falsifying records of security working.

crazy times

Idiots. Should be sacked and thrown in jail. Caused another massive outbreak leading to more restrictions. Pathetic humans.

It was the state govt that decided to use private security employees. Some of them had no experience in the job. It is the Andrews and co who are ultimately responsible for this mess.

And who then is responsible for flying overseas returning citizens home, directly into Melbourne for quarantining,  dl4e.?   maybe  SloMow.?

 

'right',  and as such,  who is responsible for most outbreaks in Sydney originally;  and in Nth Tasmania, dl4e.?    Via Ruby Princess...  after that ship was refused entry into New Zealand.

 

Maybe the CoAttrition government.?     hmmn.

Yeah and so what. Infact slomow was making excuses for Kim Jong Dan today. They are both guilty but there are no excuses for Andrews and his corrupt admin. You obviously look at thing through one eye.

Privatisation across the board has caused a lot of issues.

This is just another.

The buck does stop at the top.

I think these comments are totally unacceptable by an old [censored] and by a club president makes it even worse.

Who are you to judge someone if they don’t think it is worth them putting themselves in danger for a game “with a valid reason”. F off!

So, what's a valid reason...and who decides?

One persons valid reason is another persons excuse.

Ed really does make himself a target...Dermott has always had a bit of the buffoon about him, entertaining at times but not the smartest tool.

It's comments like that from Ed that make it hard to land the best free agents. Richmond are open about caring for their players first and they get players like Tom Lynch to choose them whilst Collingwood gets .... Chris Mayne?

That is what I find so hard to swallow on it, no care for the players involved, we just want to produce the product to make money. If you don't we will screw you over.

If we win the 2020 Flag i will donate $1000.00 to the MFC trip away, and i will shortly rush off to lay that bet off...

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
