May be gaaaaaaaawn.

Took a flying swing at Nigel Lappin late in the third quarter against the Lions. Looked to me like a blatant attempted trip.

As it happens it looked like he hyper-extended his ankle in a similar way to Brock and went off in a bad way.

Ironic

Edit: Has come back on and looks alright.

Attempted trip means jack squat. He'll play against us.

No, actually there is a new rule this year that means attempted trips will be dealt with more harshly this year. And rightly so, its a disgusting part of the game. He may be in some trouble.

Doubt it. Eyes only for the ball. A gentle open hand slap that was an accident he apologised for immediately. Head contact could make the AFL take notice, and it's probably a bit hairier than wreckers, but still shouldn't get rubbed out.

Knowing our luck, they'll ping wrecker for his accident where he came off worse, and let the Pav off.

How dare Ball try and injure another player by headbutting him...

pretty simple plan with hawthorn...

rough up buddy in the opening few minutes, before the bounce even, he'll drop his head everytime someone comes near him, play carroll on him, with rivers coming in from the side, wont get a go!!!

mcg, day time, byron back in (watch davey have a pearler), rivers back in, maybe sylvia too

That would have been great Demonstorm, what is he up to now (sorry if that is a totally ignorant question)?

We went back to the Swans function after the game up here and they were pretty desolate, but honestly I don't think Brett Kirk could be any cooler if he tried.

And I realised how that sounded but I have met him a few times now over the years and he is a genuinely great bloke.

You should read his speech from the Guernsey presentation dinner - fantastic stuff - would be good for Demons as well

Its just a pity they lost, but you always get your moneys worth :P !!!

Hopefully Bell gets some time on Williams. Firstly, Williams isn't going great, Bell could use the confidence, and he played well on him in the NAB cup, for whatever that's worth.

The last time we tried that tactic against Hawthorn we lost to them by 7 goals when they were bottom of the ladder at the time. (2005).

We always come off second best when ever we try to rough the opposition up. We're just not a tough nasty team.

I think there is every justification to test out Franklin's mettle. As a footballer his very silky and talented on the downhill stuff. He needs to physically challenged in the contest.

Loads of ability but not convinced on his toughness of character and strength of application.

    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
