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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
