Midfield Depth
Right hand facing? If you mean that, then remember Fritter is a left footer and it would favour him.

Midfield Depth
We've made some howlers over the years, especially with first round draft selections.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
Well perhaps we could remove the 2 goals the bullies kicked in the second.

Midfield Depth
Should we ask him to change it, or just get a new player with that name?

Another great article on our captain.
This comment nearly caused me to shed a tear When his superstar friend Christian Petracca appeared to have the grand final at his feet, Gawn’s three-quarter time message to the ballistic midfielder was one of love: “I’m so proud of the man you’ve become.” As I said in another post, Max is like a big brother to all the players.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I've watched the PF a half a dozen times and with 6.15 to go Fritter is being chased by two Cats defenders and it appears to me that he gets the ball and throws it back on to the feet of the cats defenders and in doing so it propels the ball forward to Kozzi who kicks a goal. Has anyone else noticed this?

Furphy Melbourne Premiers Cases of Beer
Nah, I drank enough in the preceding years, to more than make up for what I haven't drunk since. Went cold turkey, stopped drinking one day and haven't had a drink since, missed the company of the guys but not the drinking.

Furphy Melbourne Premiers Cases of Beer
I stopped drinking about 30 odd years ago, but did give it a nudge when I was having a few and the beer of choice at the time was VB, I thought it was a great drop.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
I think Howes will play games next year, maybe wing H/F, he looks like a very accomplished player to me. Nice to see he was stoked to be at Melbourne, it wasn't that long ago that recruits would have been praying that we didn't pick them up. I'm proud of what this club has finally achieved, destination club, Hell Yeah.

COVID & AFL 2021
Isn't it about time this thread was taken off the football board and put on the General Board?

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
It wouldn't surprise me if this kid becomes a very good player for us, he seems to have an awareness and is always looking for an option. I'm very glad to see him on our list.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
About 1.40 in he has a run down the wing and he reminded me of a young Robbie Flower the way he moved, very smooth.

Training Ground?
I believe we are looking at the facility being built for the Women's World Cup, the State Government will build it and pay for it and we will take it over when the World Cup finishes in 2023. It may well be where car park F currently is, if not very close to that. That's the plan.

COVID & AFL 2021
So if they don't get sick, do they get their money back? It's like putting someone in jail because you think they may commit a crime.

Welcome to Demonland: Andy Moniz-Wakefield
Well one thing, no one will be able to take their position for granted, there will be a contest for every spot. Wow, did I really say that, it would be the first time ever, at the club, you could say that, it's so hard to believe.
-
Welcome to Demonland: Andy Moniz-Wakefield
We might have to have Melbourne A and B sides, like the Australian cricket side did.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
I was going to give you a face palm, but your last post is well balanced and quite fair. Just a bit more of that would be appreciated.
-
Mac Andrew
If he was at Melbourne he would have been given time to develop and would have had a much better chance to become the best player he could be, I doubt that will happen at the Gold Coast. Good luck at GC and remember we will always welcome you back in the future.

Lucky Omen?
Got this footy card from a friend who happened upon it in a store near Kyneton and it's sat on my desk since he gave it to me, Tassie played in our last premiership in 1964

Flying the flag
Now I know how to do it this is one I posted on another thread but it didn't show up either, a jumper signed Jack Viney and Brian Wilson who was there on the night. A premiership player and a Brownlow medalist.

Flying the flag
It shows up on my post, all three times, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 🤨
-
Flying the flag
I did, I'll have to do it again, I'll get someone who knows how to do it for me, it shows up in my post as just the photo.. That better?

- Flying the flag
Walking back to my place from the shops on Saturday when one of my neighbours collared me and said, its time, so I said for what, thinking she might have wanted to have a coffee with me. Well she said when am I thinking of taking down my banners? Well to tell the truth I hadn't considered it, so I said, off the top of my head, maybe Christmas when I put up my decorations. But now that it seems to upset this busy body I think I'll leave it for another year and just replace them with next years ones. This is a car I saw when I was having a walk on Sunday, that's dedication. - Flying the flag
