Vicious Vote Night | 4 - Published on Tuesday, August 18 - LISTEN HERE The Demon Alternative and Operation Payback scrambled to get last minute press ahead of the Members' Vote Night. Wild scenes greeted the pro-merger Boards, as the merger descended into a night of utter chaos. Vicious taunts and toxicity pervaded the Dallas Brooks Hall and Camberwell Civic Centre, where both sets of supporters would decide upon the future of their football clubs.

All included. Did a deep dive on all the injuries he's had since coming to the club including the shoulder surgery he had prior to us taking him as a mature age rookie. Surprised he can still stand.

Already got that one in. Goes nicely into the next one about what it's like to play in front of empty stadiums. Missing 2019 he basically went from Full to Empty Stadiums.

Will definitely be asking about the Burgess Effect & Hub Life too.

That question had crossed my mind. Perhaps as an icebreaker.

Every game except against Geelong & Richmond.

So this time it wasn’t necessary to conscript players from other clubs than the Demons and Magpies at their hub at Maroochydore Sports Complex. Highlights - • You can’t keep a good big man down. Max Gawn might have been nursing that injured PCL but it didn’t stop him from being one of the goal umpires. • Melbourne ran away with a convincing 39-point win scoring 12.8.80 to 6.5.41. • Suspended Alex Neal-Bullen was considered best afield playing up forward (he still has two matches to serve); • Toby Bedford was lively and did the damage on the scoreboard booting four goals; • The defence stood strong throughout the game; • Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball; • Oskar Baker’s pace shone through on the wing; • Recovering from a broken wrist Corey Wagner played well in the middle unhindered by the protective glove he wore; • Josh Wagner pushed off half-back to help around the contest; • Jayden Hunt was the carry over emergency for Melbourne in Round 12. As mentioned above, no mention made of Brown, Bennell or Hannan or any news on the four injured horsemen - Hore, Petty, Kolo and Nietzchke.

Melbourne: Christian Salem The Dees jumped out of the blocks against a poor-performing Collingwood outfit and so did Christian Salem. Salem finished the game with 22 disposals at a staggering 96 per cent efficiency, took a game-high 10 marks – all of which were uncontested – and had five rebound 50s. Salem’s free-flowing performance summed up the Dees’ 56-point victory against a poor-performing Magpies side.

I’m not sure my heart could take it.

unfortunately we wouldn't be getting anything near that. No offence to big Preussy. Love the guy but he's not got the runs on the board to command that. he was very important to us this week with both our Rucks out but I'm not sure an insurance policy gets a late first round.

No thanks. Unless we get compensated for the right amount that makes up for us needing him in a situation like this week.

Be that as it may Bruce always kicks a couple of goals on us. 2015: 1.1 & 1.0 2016: 3.0 & 2.0 2017: 1.0 & 1.1 2019: 2.0 & 4.0

Fair point.

5 missed reputation points.

For which reason?

It was intentional as I realised that there was a big difference between getting a reputation point via a laugh reaction for being funny & getting that point for saying something dumb or stupid.

I assume that is what he meant.
