    Waiting for Rogue.......

    Hah. Geez, I'll never live that other post down :(

    @ rpfc:

    It seems you were right re: DB not being a taskmaster in the Malthouse mould; I've heard some players thought he was a bit soft.

    In fairness to you and just about everyone else, Garland did actually look like a complete vegetable in his first couple of games. Would've taken a seriously keen eye to spot the talent there. A good lesson in not counting chickens too early all the same.

    Edit: Also, I miss mo64. Whatever happened to him? His last activity was in late 2009 and his ceasing activity was very sudden. Hope nothing bad became of him.

    I read this forum for about a year before I registered an account. I found Mo's posts very enjoyable to read and he was one of the few on here that had a genuinely good footy brain. It's a shame he doesn't post here anymore.

    Edit: Good bump, it was certainly an interesting read.

    I found that I rarely agreed with anything he said and that he seemed to me to be anti-everything, but with the benefit of hindsight it would seem he was right on many aspects, and I recognise that I tend to view the glass as being half full when it's 3/4 empty.

    Either way, it seemed odd that such a regular poster would cease reading altogether so suddenly (no record of even views since '09). The human in me (;)) hopes that it's just because he decided he had better things to do and not something worse than that.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
