You should know if you are.

Or perhaps posters mean, “if I were Simon Goodwin”, etc.

How about we pay at least some attention to grammar?

Call me a pedant if you wish, but I find it annoying.

your are a pedant

    I’ve a question…

    So, Fritta’s been named as an emergency meaning he has to be at the ‘G for the firsts, right?

    He’s been told he’s in the Casey side playing at Casey Fields in a match that starts at 11:05am tomorrow.

    Yesterday morning when he was told he’s been dropped he was told he’d be playing a half at Casey.

    Does this mean he’ll leave Casey Fields at halftime and head to the ‘G before the start of the seniors match?

    If so, is that something that happens regularly?

    That’s actually three questions, but what’s an extra couple o’ questions between friends?

    Four questions now. 😅

    If Fritta has his usual first half performance of 2 touches he won't be too tired at least

    Thanks. Your post tell me we’re getting back to business as normal here after a bitter week of cannibalism and mutiliation. :-)

    No comma after ‘like’ but one after ‘mean’.

    You are out of control.

    turner, adams oh wait goodwin is useless

    people really give petty a hard time around here but don't realise the coaches have absolutely throw him in the deep end after putting him up forward for a season and now he is our starting fb vs freo, hope he does okay tmr his performance is 100% on the coaches

    Every chance Adams is a late in. Think it has to be done this way.


    So Petty takes Treacy, but who plays on Amiss? Are we expecting Adams to be a late in? Or Turner to play back, leaving Fullarton on MFC debut to lead our forward line with no JVR or Fritsch to help?

    Good to see the ace bring swung but not instilled with faith in some of the replacements.

    I think if we lose this , Goody definitely won't be coaching the MFC much longer for sure.

    But I think we actually have this one.

    Yeah, if we give Freo the time and space (read: lack of pressure) we gave Essendon, it’s a 15+ goal loss guaranteed. Freo have considerably more dangerous players than the dons.

    Over to you Dees! Harass the living [censored] out of em

    Why not try Adam’s, Howes will get smashed, this could get ugly quickly

    Alert, if you are coming in by train and are on the PAKENHAM or CRANBOURNE line guess what?? Yep as per usual Buses Replace trains from sections. Why does this keep occuring???

    Can't you get an express bus to city then walk to G?

    Just now, bush demon said:

    Or express bus to Southern Cross then train to Jolimont.

    Howes had a great game in the 2s last week but neither him or TMAC have the strength to tackle with Amiss or Tracey.

    Either way it's pressure or bust.

    • 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.
