Different mail received in your post (e or otherwise) box?? @small but forward

I wish Danelska, but no. I just don't like the message so I think it's appropriate to shoot his messenger.

My mail is that Watts won't play. 

I'd recommend you get a new mailman GV.

Unless this mail was of the 'e' variety. In which case, switch internet providers.

Could not post Saturday night.

Lived in Perth since 2000, haven't seen Melbourne win since 2004 in the rain against Freo.

Sat at Subiaco in the rain, when it was cold, when it was hot, at the City end with the sun in your eyes and couldn't see the far end of the ground.

Put up with drunks and moronic West Coast and Fremantle supporters. One drunk wanted to fight Mrs Nomed a few years ago because she cheered a Dee's goal (we left the ground).

Watched year after year of massive disparities in free kick counts, head duckers and thugs roughing up weak Melbourne teams. Lost carton after carton of beers and packets of TIm Tams.

And then this game......

• We beat the crowd!
• We beat the umpires!
• We beat the Eagles!

• But did you recoup any beer or tim tams?

The Carlton doctors strike again:

"RICHMOND defender Bachar Houli has been sent straight to the Tribunal for his strike on Carlton's Jed Lamb after the Match Review Panel graded the hit as intentional and high impact...with a medical report from Carlton crucial in the finding against the Tigers defender".

The hit on Lamb looked pretty serious so the MRP probably reached the right decision.

But can't help feel that the Carlton medical reports in this case and those on Hogan and Lewis are sending a message that any opp player that dares touch a blue boy will find themselves out on a limb.

We should demand independent doctors officiate in our next game against Carlton.

#nothingbutdodgy

Schofield 2 weeks down to 1 for intentional hit on Oliver and nothing to see with Viney/Hurn clash.

For once, I'm in complete agreement with the MRP. Wonders will never cease.

Watts a given

JKH next in line midfielder 

Kennedy next in line flanker/midfielder 

Kent next in line forward

Wagner next in line defender.

Weid next in line key forward.

No point trying to guess who will come out. Too many permutations with the number of players we had injured or sore.

Love the avatar Nasher.

It was a pleasure to wake up this morning and not have multiple reported posts to deal with. What a difference winning makes to the life of the admin team. If only my kids could take a leaf out of the behaviour of Demonlanders the morning after a win. 

Andy - I'd like to report you.

Typical of DL to find something wrong and whinge. Even the admin team have to plug the gap when there's nothing to find fault with!

Elbowing players in the face after the siren is not a great look for the sport. The media and AFL would be better placed focussing on sending this message rather than arguing whether it was a glancing blow or not.

from my perspective, Oliver's reaction clearly demonstrated it hurt.

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

TOP 4!!!

WOWEE!!!!

I'm amazed the guys didn't get the right boots on after the warmup. Lots of slipping, esp. compared to them.

Of the League’s 18 teams, Melbourne Demons supporters are the most likely to take a punt on AFL

Back in the dark ages we could see exactly how bad we were. Sure bet we were going to lose.

not today, however. Dees by 4 goals.

Hawthorn have demonstrated the danger in paying big for a player who can't get on the park.

If Gus can't get past these concussions (god forbid), then we'll just trade him for hawthorns best 2 players at the time. They should be happy enough with that...

We've never beaten West Coast at night in Perth.

Have we ever played them at night in Perth?

As we keep on winning, these hoodoos are going to become more and more obscure.

Ahh... Watts pulling the old sore hammy card, so he can play his 150th at the MCG the following week... Rest up Champ you've earned it. I'll be there cheering you on!

Hopefully they haven't made the banner for this week yet on the assumption he was playing! They might have to resurrect last week's banner and save this week's for next?

If the noise sources earlier in the week on Hibbo being 50/50 to get up are accurate, then that would be three players in the top 5 Demonland players for the year not playing in this game (if he doesn't).

Of course, Max would be one of those players if he'd played all year. 

Hope pig gets up.

Non MFC related injury, but Jaeger O'Mearas knee seems utterly stuffed. Might be shut down for the season. Hawks really screwed up, doubt his knee will ever come good.

You know, Petraccattack, its lucky the Hawks didn't sell the farm for him.

oh, wait.....

Thanks @Ethan Tremblay for that match summary - I really enjoyed it. 

I kept thinking that you'd never get analysis like this from the pies!

#freekickmelbourne

He reminds me of Brett Lovett

gun.

Just like Jayden Hunt, I'm up out of my seat whenever he gets the ball in fwd 50. He's just so dangerous.

that kick v pies when he took the tap from Watts, ran toward goal and circled back in from the line, low pass at pace to Pedo with the outside of the boot (Hannan crumbed and goaled) was just sublime.

ive got a serious man crush on Jeffy, he's something else.
