Agree.

Who remembers the 'Kruezer cup' match? Where both sides (Demons &  Blues) were trying to lose. Blues left Travis Johnston to run riot ...42 possessions from memory. Demons won, so Carlton got pick #1, which was Kruezer.

 

Typical for those years. TJ fantastic skills, lazy, laconic, runs riot when he wanted in a game that was of no consequence.

melbourne won but in reality lost. 
In those times when we tried to lose we failed. Terrible times best not look back look forward 

21 and 25. I would take that as long as they are not bookends.

 

I hate playing the Pies for so many reasons, and now you can add a legitimate fear of one of our players dying to the list.

Gus, Trac, who will it be tonight? Max I suppose.

    Is this that thing where the umpire has to stand on one leg?

    I hate myself for thinking this, but long term are we better off losing and getting a higher draft pick? Suns and Saints could go past us on the ladder all going well.

    It’s a win win game for mine. I want to see 100% effort and if that gets us over the line great, if not I’ll take the pick. Although I’d like us to be in the middle band for next years draw. All the big box clubs are there and they’re the best games for us the supporters and for the club wanting prime time slots. We’re going to enjoy winning the flag next year.

    The phrase "It couldn't get worse" has never filled me with confidence. Call it MFCSS but it doesn't work for me.

    All i will say is “go dees”. We will be there (hopefully not getting too wet), however I really hope for a win for our final game to ride some positive momentum into the pre-season. Hopefully see a few of you there (FWIW I am 2m tall, have a beard and a full mouth of teeth - assume not many people will match this description at the G tonight if any Deamonlander wants to say hi).

    Twelve hours to kick-off. Time enough to get in a few chapters of Thinking, Fast and Slow by the recently deceased Nobel prize-winning behavioral scientist Daniel Kahneman and ponder the mental juxtaposition created by the contradictory desire for instant gratification weighed against longer-term goal-setting and its potential promise of greater future rewards as disrupted by a lack of concrete details on the exact timeframe of our own personal demise, which becomes further complicated again for those of us who remain childless or have a lifestyle profile which could be classed as 'high risk' but still boast a full set of teeth, in all providing for an interesting metaphor for the Melbourne Football Club as its players line up for the first bounce in a dead Friday night rubber at the MCG.

    Or I could just read the Collingwood forums for a while to kill some time. 

    Go Dees!

     

     

    Hnmmm sounds like something I came across when I was a kid! Anyone remember

    "THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLBOOK"??

    Incredible that any of the teams currently in positions 5 to 8 could potentially finish anywhere between top-4 or missing the 8 altogether!  What a bizarre season.

    Looking forward to some atrocious football* from the 10th to 18th teams.

    *This may include limited one way running facilitating enhanced scoring.

    For the last time in season 2024.

    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    Get to the G tonight to farewell Nibbler and BBB. Two premiership heroes.

    Go Dees.

    Takes the saying 'legs 11' to a whole new level. If you google the great man, apparently his last known weight is 111kgs. He's to a 111 point win over these mongrellls. Dad jokes 10111.

    Need ANB to do a number on him again. Hopefully means the Bont might win it for once.

    Draft picks are a bit of a lottery. Beating the Pies would be glorious. I say let’s thump the bastards.

    Sydney has to be the worst minor premier in the history of the competition. Not only did they lose to the wooden spooner, they also had a 100+ point loss in there.

    Tonight I’m bringing my two 5 year old (almost 6) grandsons to their 2nd game of footy. One parent of each is also coming (my kids).  We would love to sit with the cheer squad. Is there room and can we do this with general admission tickets?

    Both boys love Tommy McDonald.  We fear there is a chance it’s his last game.

    Didn't they lose 6 in a row?

    Quasi Dead rubber or not it would be nice to officially end the Pies season even if it means denying them the 180+ point win that they need.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
