“It didn’t come to blows because a player from Melbourne and a player from the Western Bulldogs that are best mates and used to live together … they met halfway between Level 2 and Level 3 – safe ground – and negotiated a peace treaty … Saved these two clubs coming to blows.

Sorry if it has been said, but who we talking here.

    “So one of the players took some initiative … took some cash out, a big lot of cash like $10,000, and went up to management and said: ‘Mate, here’s 10K, you open the top level.’ Security escort them straight up.

    I call BS on that!  Who in their right mind rocks up anywhere let alone a nightclub with a cool $10K in their pocket?

    Thank you both for elaborating on your points, I couldn't see Petty working at all forward so thats why I was seeking more from you. Definitely got nothing to stress about, (other than whatever injuries we cop in 2022) :)

    Petty and Tmac could easily Change  between CHF and FF and CHB or FB during a game or season,

    Daniel Turner may be a good backup in defence with some Casey games experience behind him and Majak and Mitch Brown also offer plenty of versatility.

    Also Bowey and Sal em  could play wing or HFF and I hope Laurie and Rosman  get a good go at a number of games to build form and confidence.

    Nothing ever stays the same that's why we need continue the progress and produce new stars and keep pressure on the premiership heroes!

    Luke Dunstan  and JJ say hi to the midfield Club !! 

    Gus  is still rapped about the Wingers Club and is looking for some new recruits to add to their mix.

    Plenty of good stories to come in 2022 and beyond if we keep putting the same effort in.

    Only legit way is going to the atm  for 5 days in a row and taking 2k at a time , clean up at the races or at Burswood  casino .

    How's that old saying go, winners laugh, losers can go do what they like.

    Guys, I'm filing this news story from the frontlines of the war zone.

    There's a ceasefire in place at the moment, but the stereo could start up again any minute now.

    Tensions are high. 

    As a former demon, Mitch Hannan was the player who negotiated the peace treaty that prevented all-out war. They're calling it the Treaty of Northbridge. 

    But I've noticed several MFC players going back to the ATM, and I think we might be bribing our way into another nightclub.

    Will try to report more later if it's not too dangerous.

    Similar to the saying:

    Brian Taylor is in the top echelon of the worst commentators in the history of the game, with Rex Hunt, and Kellie Underwood.

    And please don't wind me up with Brayshaws "bang" call. It really does my head in. The combo of his horrible voice coupled with the inability to think of something good to say. My head hurts.

    Have a listen from around 1hr36min of this. The commentator who calls the Oliver goal is a life long Melbourne supporter. You can feel the emotion in his call. Brilliant.

    Also listen to his call of the final minute or so, almost cheering his team on to a flag.

     

    I don’t want to wind you up but not sure how “wowzers” or “Oliver scores” is any better !? Scores….. It’s not soccer.
    People will complain whoever is commentating maybe huddo and commetti the only exceptions. 
    My personal fav is the 3AW call with Tim Lane, Bartel, Matthews and Lloyd bit of a nostalgic feeling with Lane calling for mine.

    Nobody is perfect. I've tried calling in my own head during a game and make a hash of it every time. It's more difficult than many think, but these guys are supposed to be professionals.

    Tim Lane has always been my favorite. Followed by a young Commetti.

    I linked the other one simply so people could listen to a died-in-the-wool demon fan call the game.

    Do young people know what cash even is any more? They do everything on their phones.

    Oh, but the article said cash, and the entire story is based on unimpeachable fact and doesn't in any way come across as being made up and embellished on the run. The only thing missing is that when they got up to level 3 they found Lassiter's gold in a cupboard.

    The more I watch the game the more I pick up on things that I seem to have missed. But what I did enjoy was when there was 4 minutes to go and the assistants came down and they show Yze sitting on the bench and after we kick another goal he is smiling. I reckon obviously he is rapt because we won but also from a previous players point of view that the club I played for has finally done it.

    I just read that ‘story’ about the supposed nightclub incident. Imagined that this was your job? ‘well I heard that someone said something over a balcony and then all hell broke loss (but nothing happened)’.

    I’d be embarrassed if I was Campbell Brown. Surely you can do something else with your time. There’s a job shortage. Take advantage.

    Melbourne CEO shoots down 'beat up' reports around nightclub stoush with western bulldogs

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/27/melbourne-ceo-shoots-down-beat-up-reports-around-nightclub-stoush-with/

    A beat up? By a would be footy journo?  Who'da thunk it?!

    Interestingly Pert never says that nothing happened, just that what was reported was overblown. So maybe there was some degree of argy bargy going on. If the Dogs were upset the Dees sang a song then that is great, shows how petty and fragile they are

    The question of switching Petty forward or keeping him back might rest on whether TMac is able to return to form (his back half wasn’t great) and whether Weid is able to make good on his talent. Brown looks settled in his position and his fitness now so that second tall forward spot is on offer (Tommy’s to lose currently). If, and it’s a big if, nether Tom or Sam are able to claim that spot then Petty as a forward becomes a possibility. 

    For now though he looks like a natural defender and it’s up to Tomlinson to knock him off his perch. What a problem to have! 😄

    In Brown's defence, the stairwells between floors are regarded as neutral territory under the Geneva convention. And groups of tanked up young men often negotiate "peace treaties" when they're in the mood for a bit of biff.

    Doubt Campbell Brown embarrasses easily. Mal would have given plenty of direction.

    When Brown was at Gold Coast Suns he punched a young team mate. Broke his jaw.

    Having Mal Brown as his father is a wonderful pedigree.

    Clearly a top bloke.

    I'm going through the games we've played this season, only the ones we won, and you can see the improvement as the year goes on. I can't see the point in watching the games we lost, why disappoint myself.

    When I finish i'll watch the GF again, rinse and repeat.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
