Sorry Mr. Bombay, but it's could HAVE not could OF.

You'll have to forgive me picking you up on this oft-repeated grammatical howler.

I suffer from CDO, you see.  It's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.  :D

I’ve had a about 3 gaffs tonight, the first two were words missed altogether….

I would be more upset losing Kozzy over Jackson. 

Counting down the moments until some lazy journo reads this, turns it into a ‘Kozzy contract drama’ headline, and Demonland explodes in fury.

We are like an animal that eats itself. I believe the Egyptians referred to it as an ‘ouroboros’ (but the good news is there’s a painful pedant here who’ll point out if that’s correct or not).

How shattered are these sad sacks that the Dees won?

 

Confirmed.  Montagna had always bagged the Dees.  Has a giant chip on his shoulder against the Dees.  He’s shattered. FFS.

I agree. Talk about Lever’s kick. 
 

It was Hunt that created the chance.  His run and explode to burst and kick long to the top of the square !!!! Hallelujah.  That’s the key.  It created the chance.  It created the pressure.  
 

of course Kozzzzzy 😘😘😘😘😘

Absolute tosh. Montagna was the first media person last year who I heard espouse Melbourne's shot at the flag as being anything other than a pipedream.

a question:

the goal that was disallowed and ball returned to half fwd / wing for throw-in

was it because:

1. ben brown marked over the line?

2. ben brown played on from outside the line when he wasn't behind the mark?

 

18 hours ago, Demonstone said:

The latter I believe, dc.

The view of someone claiming to be an accredited AFL umpire is that Brown ran forward of the mark while out of bounds. Hence, a correct call.

You leave me alone, hardtack.  I have a stereotype to uphold, you know.  :D

 A reputation as a pedandocrat perhaps D?

My ex told me we'd have less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic.

I told her "I think you mean fewer arguments".

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
