He won't make AA because Bruce has retired so isn't screaming his name in ecstasy into a microphone and 'Lever' has too many syllables for BT to handle.

I think this is how the crusades might have started... Onwards, Dees, to the Holy grail!

Yep, cracking episode and fully support the push for better access to stats and more deep-level tactical anlysis. @Fanatique Demon, between you, the bloke who called up from Brussels (happy up coming birthday chap) and a few of us here in Amsterdam, we have the old Frankish realm MFC supporter base covered ?

Would you take Jeremy Howe back?
Clayton van Oliver replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Good question. No. Our current glue is a selfless team ethos. That is not Howe's style. Let him stay at Collingwood to languish at the bottom if the ladder, where he can take his hangers before turning it over to the opposition and I don't have to care about it.- 144 replies

I can't believe he has one in spite of spell check.

CHANGES: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne
Clayton van Oliver replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Not sure on answer to TMAC/Brown/Weids question for this week, but... I have always loved watching Ben Brown play. He reminds me of the joy of playing footy as a junior. I love his ridiculous run up because you can see the 20 something years of learned processes going into it, each time. This clip has me excited to see him on the G, clunking marks and kicking bags for the Dees. -
The kind of original and quality content one can expect when you make an illiterate drunkard your chief football writer.

If we win this, the lid is going to explode off the bandwagon!

just watch the final quarter four times

The Yze influence ?

Are you assuming that these conversations haven't been had at various times over the journey? The whole point of footy is to sing the song after with your team mates. It doesn't come at the expense of serious self critique.

I love that we have been winning convincingly while some of our best players have struggled at different times. Oppo coaches are putting excess time into negating Clarrie, petracca, May, TMac (in form), and yet players like Hunt, ANB, Jordon and Sparky-pants have stepped up at times when it was needed. None of our wins this year have had the same 'Best on' list. That is a fantastic sign and may it long continue. Oh, and Kozzie. I [censored] love him.

My favourite moment also. To those who want to 'temper' celebrations and not get over-excited: You do you. I've spent enough weeks in past years being miserable only a few weeks into the season, I'm bloody well gonna enjoy the wins.

Review Finds Collingwood Guilty of Systemic Racism
Clayton van Oliver replied to rjay's topic in Melbourne Demons
User name checks out. Pretty sure his reasons have always been to bring a spotlight on systemic racism. It doesn't have to make him or anybody else happy to be an important goal. -
Review Finds Collingwood Guilty of Systemic Racism
Clayton van Oliver replied to rjay's topic in Melbourne Demons
Sounds like you are someone who 'does their own research'. Can I suggest looking up 'ad hominem' and why it is a fallacious approach to take when making an argument? There is also nothing wrong or weak about taking a critical lens to your thoughts and opinions and interrogating yourself about them. Give it a crack, someday. -

Deespicable, finding the keys and igniting the engine of my passion for 2021. Thank you! -

Woewodin?

Yea, mate, this is an MFC forum. Literally everybody here is disappointed. Doesn’t excuse spouting off with rude hyperbole and it doesn’t give in depth meaning to grand, sweeping statements. Temperance, fella. P.S Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooze
