Yes...

You can build a team around HR

Koz is top quality cream

I think there is potential for HR to be a disruptive influence.

Yet to be proven leadership, concentration and team player credentials not on display yet.

There is more..

 

I hope we're not going to go on with this all season...

A good way to ruin a great game.

And we know it will 🙄

As you were.  The new millennium didn't start until 1st January 2001.  (2000 was the last year of the old one.)

How it’s that ? 2000 was the myk or whatever so you are wrong IMO.

Darcy would be a very good move, if we had too!

Darcy is injury prone and has not had one 6/8 matches year missed in his career. 
 
Best to recruit Jacko and his Mum back. 

Sorry for this stupid post but let’s be serious let’s get Tracy or Serong or Andrew Brayshaw or two of them for Kossie if he ever goes to Freo.

It's a bit like the AFL celebrating its centenary in 1996 when in fact the centenary was actually in 1997.  1996 was the hundredth year of the VFL/AFL, but a centenary isn't the hundredth year, a centenary is when a hundred years has been completed.  So in 1996 only ninety-nine years had completed.

I don't read replies or reactions 

 

They had to sneak it in before they murdered Fitzroy. 

Well it seems Kossie has been posting his desire to return to WA. I am so tired of footballers signing  contracts and then not wanting to fulfill the contracts. Can you imagine the stink if a club wanted to end a contract against the players desire. 

 

If (this year) they introduce future draft picks 2 years in advance, then this unfortunately will make a trade more workable/flexible if Kozzie is so desperate to leave.

Freo will only give us draft picks. No chance we’ll be getting a Darcy, Brayshaw, Serong or Young as Freo will want to improve their list rather than going sideways.

On the matter of Kozzie liking Freo posts, I didn’t see the issue in him liking the fact that his relative was trying out for the club. The other “likes” were obviously awkward.

Jesus, another one.  Google it mate.  It's a fact and not a matter of anybody's opinion.

that has been introduced, i believe, at the end of this year?

if he goes, he goes - it's not like we won't get something in return, as he's under contract for a significant amount of time

Yeah exactly, pointless crying over spilt milk.

Rounds 1-3 will be instructional in to what a post Kozzie era could look like (although in fairness Mentha or even George might be Kozzie’s replacement and they obviously won’t be ready)

Speaking of, it must annoy the christ out of Jesus every year. 

Then again, since the 'restart the clocks, the saviour is in the house' mob missed the mark by a few years anyway, he's probably given up on ever blowing out the right number of candles.

rather than it's a "fact" i'd prefer to call it a proscribed convention that just represents one "solution" to an accepted anomaly caused by the real fact that there is a missing year 1bc to 1 ad. i.e. -1 to +1 is 2 years not 1.

that's the hoary bit

There will be a lot of trade movement this year with the advent of 2 year forward trading. GC already has 5 first round picks, Essendon 4 to offer other clubs already. 

There weren’t too many players who didn’t get to where they wanted last year, contracted or not. Those like Petracca couldn’t because others didn’t have the trade capital, especially late in the trade period. 
Every list manager at every club will be clearing salary space and working how to accumulate picks for this trade period. 
There will be a lot of big names mentioned in the lead up, ones people think would never be an option.

Your arithmetic is faulty.  

When 1 BC ended, 1 AD commenced.  There is no year zero.  How could there be?

nothing wrong with maths.   -1 + 1 year is 0. (not 1)

When old mate jc celebrated his 1st birthday and became a 1 year old the silly calendar clicked over to 2ad at exactly the same time. How could it be 2 years anno domini (after christ)? A contradiction, right?

normal time convention is to measure at the end of the time interval. Look at a clock the 12 is positioned at the end of the 12 hour, not the start. Same with years, hours, minutes etc.

the proscribed century convention  (century ends on end of xx01) is at odds with normal time convention. It was just a convention to hide an anomaly caused by ignorance in the first place.

don't blame me, you started this and i did warn you it was an old hoary chestnut

so @demonstone, I take it by your emoji reactions and your odd attempt at maths that you are not convinced?

I'm laughing at you, not with you.  There is so much wrong with your post.

What you call "0" is day one of year one.  (1 AD)

Because the first year (1 AD) was completed and the second year (2 AD) commenced.  No contradiction.

No, the century ends at the end of xx00.  That was my point from the beginning.

I've made my case as clearly as I can and won't clog up this thread any longer.  You do you.

no. time naming convention works at the end of the time interval

how do you explain 12 o'clock is at the end of the 12th hour. is the clock label wrong?

why is 1 second past midnight 00.00.01 when as you say it is in the first hour 01 but convention say 00

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
