Deemania since 56

Wagner might be ok as he can play somewhat tall and short and is moving the ball a little better than last year.

Yes, he was for about 2 years - but it was one of those 'lesser' broadcasts away from DB who were big with Louie the Lip and Jack Dyer, with constant interruptions from racing.

Another refusal to partake in a battle of wits with an unarmed person, so I apologise instead, in advance.

Was it the adolescent Dennis Commetti who took over, impressively from Don Hyde at UZ - forging an impeccable career? He knew all the Demons players in those days, so well. Memories may be inaccurate but I think that was him on that station....

No, not precluded, just intolerant. And you?

I had a flutter on a roughie in the last and the nag got up!

ok, JUST A DREAM.

Fairy Nuff, then. Understand the duality. Remember the 60s footy broadcasts on 3UZ on Saturdays? '...the Demons are 3pts behind in time-on in the last quarter. Alves passes to Bourke who handballs to himself and taps the ball forward, running onto the ball just 3 feet from the goalmouth with Collingwood players streaming in from at least 20 feet away and yes, Bourke is lining up the goal ...' 'THEY'RE RACING AT MOONEE VALLEY IN THE 6TH, WITH CHEWING GUM STICKING TO THE RAILS...'

I'd give Garlett a rest for a week - so that Hannan and Fritsch can work on a routine or two. I would really like Frosty - even from the bench - to get into the backline as a mad f'ker running wild. That guy is now INTIMIDATING and that is what we need ...

I watch no-one but the DEMONS. If the Dees are not on the TV telecast, it is not worth watching. That has been my petty little protest for all these years ... it infiltrated my Foxtel telecasts, too, and radio broadcasts ... and I only attend Demons' games. One-eyed, inflexible and stubborn. HOOtfCares? The idea of DV8 to enact a ban on telecasts is a very good one.

Watch the what? That was 10 yrs ago, wasn't it? Do they still have it on the calendar? I thought that it was dead in the water and so terribly boring...nowhere near as enduring as the footy - Melbourne footy, that is.

Dudded.

Hey, Clint. Checking these out is fun. Lotsa good picks, but this is the one I liked the best, so put me down for this one, please. Rather than re-type it, I copied and pasted it from Grey Wolf. 1. Melbourne 2. GWS 3. Sydney 4. Richmond 5. Adelaide 6. Geelong 7. Hawthorn 8. Collingwood 9. Western Bulldogs 10. Essendon 11. Port Adelaide 12. Carlton 13. St Kilda 14. Fremantle 15. Gold Coast 16 North Melbourne 17. Eagles 18. Brisbane

Getting rid of Robinson, these caricatures and colour base would be phantastique! Bloody huge of key MALE players...

Thunderrrrbirrrrdddss are GO!

Yep, sure hope I can help you. I received the offer on e-mail (I am an interstate Armchair Member of MFC, from Adelaide). From there, I immediately called (and got through relatively quickly) the MFC Membership area on the following number: 1300 336667 to enquire about the e-mail offer to Members - and the possibility of taking along 2 guests (non-members). They said: 'No worries...' and facilitated it all on the spot. I paid via Debit Card over the phone. Within minutes, via MFC through Ticketek, the goodies, complete, had arrived. I pick up the guest passes to the Members' seating area ($18 each x 2) from just outside Gate 3 at the 'G from 1pm Sunday - but please note, the guests have to pay a General Entry fee of $20 approximately to get in as General Entry - and then accompany the 2 of us, Members, to the allocated seating - with entry via Gate 5, just a few hundred metres north around the Ground from Gate 3. Hope this all helps. 'Carna Dees!

On a brighter note, as members, we just took advantage of the MFC members reserved seats for Sunday's game against Geelong at the MCG. It was astonishingly good value from the Club, in comparison to the offering that existed previously from the money-hungry Ticketek, who required, for just ordinary seats, $75 per seat for members of the MFC. The lowest-priced seats for MFC Members offered by Ticketek were in the order of $60 per seat, in the bleaches of the Northern Stand or behind the Richmond-end goals bleachers. Neither were acceptable. Suddenly, the MFC offered yesterday, Monday, 2 Members tickets for $20 @ $10 each. In addition, we were also able to collect from the MFC two Guest tickets beside our seats for $18 each. We took immediate action and purchased the package for four people in the reserved seat area for less than one reserved seat in the above Ticketek bleachers. This is the way MFC Members should be treated - more often. In reality, it is $10 per seat and next to / near the facilities, with good viewings of the ground just on the wing at Level 1. What's is equally advantageous is that these tickets were issued electronically the same day, arriving in e-mail within minutes. I'd encourage any Member to take advantage of this great offering to indicate to the Club that this is what Members might wish. It may even expand as time goes by - at least one could hope.

Really worried about conceding goals 'over the back'; frequent occurrence, last year.

Sounds like the rectus femoris group for Oliver, at the front of the thigh, attaching around the knee and upper tibia. One related connector is across the top edge of the patella (kneecap) and suspiciously, this may be the site of discomfort. Should be right to play in he was moving freely at this point. Agree about Oliver's importance as a player as he gets the ball out or to a teammate at most contests.

To combat these dreaded lapses, better use of the filling of the bench and deployment from the bench needs to be made, with almost radical changes across the field of play in where, when and which player is activated onfield outside of bench decisions. TMac moving into the fwd line is such an example but if the opposition's scoring improves in any quarter, move him to his traditional Fullback role. Such changes (and there are many more possibilities due to our depth and utility of skills development across the past 12 months), can occur simultaneously right across the ground now - throwing opposition certainties into a very stiff breeze. The ruck needs a change of approach to maximise the Max-factor. This man must be swung into the play with some 'rest' for recuperation given every game, otherwise his likelihood of injury and fatigue will cruel him. On-ballers, too, need such consideration rather than an expectation of 'burn-out' midway through a series of plays during a match. Longer-term, these capacities will add a new dynamic to our game style and innovation. The 'fade' that we experience so often - even if only for one part of one quarter - will be tackled head-on and provide far greater utility as a team striving to win convincingly at all times.

Hard to believe, these days, I guess but just maybe... from 2028 onwards ...

Something very logical about that and the likelihood of such breakdowns. I'd reckon that playing them both would be great by half time. Geelong are going to need superfit youth to get past the Demons. I cannot imagine that their players are fit enough or have the sustained endurance to keep up with the game, break free to set up plays or rebound as the Cats used to do. With our backline, I doubt if their delivery will be fully effective. I could be wrong but another 12months have passed.

Thanks for that. Here is the result for those who have not heard, albeit one-sided: Box Hill 0.1 4.2 4.5 4.8 32 Casey 4.8 8.11 9.14 12.15 87

Excellent effort, those who provided update information. Very much appreciated. Somewhere there is a lesson for the Club in this. Why not take advantage of this online world?

We need an old-fashioned Reserves game prior to a match, then the team warm-up on the ground, then the seniors match, every week. As AFL prices rise, that would be moving towards better value for money. I would even donate my pie 'n sauce money to this cause and the 'home' team as these nourishment treats are too expensive to consider anymore. Bring back 'People Power', not dictatorial exploitation. It is our game, not the AFL's.
