Nah, could win a norm smith medal without winning a flag and who gives a rats ar*e who wins the medal

You know its entirely possible to simply not comment on threads you don't wish to discuss? Try it out, it works a treat for most adults on Demonland.

    My inner demons that have guided me accurately these last 57 years tell me that our next Norm winner hasn’t been born yet.

    But from the current crop I’ll nominate JJ, beating Trac and Clarry in a tight, mid dominated count.

    From an omen point of view....CP5 would be good, building on the legacy of the heroics of #5 from our last win (Neil Crompton); and Clarry would break an even longer number drought with #13, since Max Spittle collected in 1948. JJ could add his name to the storied locker of #23 with Graham Wise, Pop Vine (flag in his first game), Ray Wartman and Geoff Tunbridge.

    Drysdale you are worse that a wet blanket . Not very smart as like most other kids I did not pick my name . I made a huge mistake not reading the application page and was shocked to see my name come up on my first post . Will probably stop posting after Sundays game and I have sung You will Never Walk Alone .

    Worse is that you are nasty . Who would say that their idea of fun is pulling out fingernails .

    You may be a Master Demon but what I have seen so far shows me you are a Master D... H...

    Don’t take it personally Craig. Consider it character building.

    Best to stop posting under your real name and create an alias for future posting.

    And best of luck on Sunday. I hope its a success.

    If the Norm Smith was awarded retrospectively then RDB might have won at least 3 and Percy Beames 3 as well

    Most know about the exploits of Ron Barassi but Beames was named as our best player in the 3 flags of '39 to '41. 

    As a rover he kicked 6 goals in one GF,  4 goals in another and 2 goals in the 3rd win (whilst dominating as an onballer)

    I had 10 on the Dees for the flag pre season at 26-1

    ladbrokes are offering a cash out at $38 ie 3.80

    Jeez we’ve shortened

    Might see how that goes after the next few weeks

    Thanks for all the suggestions , good and band . Have had lots of character building circumstances in 61 years and playing hundreds of games of footy so am enjoying some of the negative comments . Have never used social media and this experience has confirmed my thoughts . It can be really good and bad . I am sure if you became obsessed it could kill you .

    I will be at the Richmond station before the game asking for support for the Apollo Mission which now seems more like Mission Impossible but will still go ahead . 

    When you are part of the MFC you will never walk alone . MMGA .

    Dont worry about the negative nellies around here....(you should be here in a bad season)....they just snipe posts and dont offer much in return. Your contributions are greatly valued.

    Maybe another question is what big name will get left out of the side for a GF, since we cant seem to fit everyone in? Maybe injuries may decide but if we had a full list (except the season injuries).

    Tmac can play both ends but can Weids/Brown play CHF ( the hardest and most important position on the ground ) as well as Tmac did on the w/e ? If I was Weids I would tell the coach I also love playing in the back pocket .

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
