WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Well it is basically half way through the season so the Clowns are spot on!!

Backline Selection Dilemmas
I think you are on the money here. Doubt whether there will be major changes after just one round however if Hibberd and Jetta continue their poor form against Carlton then we need to look a bit more closely to dropping them. Both very experienced and I reckon Jetta knows he put in a poor one and will be the man for Betts and will turn it around ( I hope). Can't have an inexperienced player in Lockhart on someone like Betts at this early stage in his career.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Couldn't agree more Ron. A fit and raring to go HB will be one of biggest stories to come out of this weird season and will give us poor demented Dees's supporters some hope. Big Maxy on Fox tonight mentioned also a match simulation on Saturday and HB went well. That in itself is a plus as means he came up well from last weeks contact training/match drills and now seems to have put a good block of training in without issues. This guy can play and only hope he keeps training well with no hiccups. Everything crossed for him!!

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Correct. Love to have Penndles, Cotchin or Hodge in there letting these show ponies know exactly what is required. Only then will Clarry and his mates become elite players. Nothing less.

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Not fussed on who gets a game. Just want players that are prepared to put in 110% and the midfield guys to finally realise you HAVE to run both ways. Nearly all our Mids just like to win the ball in middle/forward and are not prepared to gut run back to assist defence. Reason why WC Mids kicked goals and ours didn't. Our boys just trot along in middle of ground and play with no accountability. Look at some past footage and 3 or 4 of our players trotting around centre all by themselves when oppo have the ball. This is not good enough.

TRAINING: Wednesday 27th May 2020
Reckon you could throw HB in there as well Collar

Back on track people. It is about HB not crowds. Just trust HB has pulled up well today and ready for the next session.

Cap May Squeeze Out Fritsch
Really is a nothing tweet from Ralph. just making up things whilst in isolation. If he had a half a brain he would have mentioned the Wagners, Dunkley & maybe Spargo or Hunt first. Keep the young guys and Bradtke as work in progress

Cap May Squeeze Out Fritsch
With you 100% on this.

TEAM: Rd 02 vs Carlton
Bit confusing as Auld in his presser mentioned Carl V Melb at MCG also.

Dees vs Hawks: Who’s Closer to a Flag
I found the article to be quite interesting. Looking at our midfield with the inclusions of Langdon and Tomlinson and having May and Lever playing together on a consistent basis we seem to have the cattle to push upwards. More up than the wooden spoon I would think !!!. Now all we need to do is the bleeding obvious. Transition of the pill into our forward line.

Spoon Favourites
Another thing. Anyone of you want to back us for the SPOON I'll cover you. Put your money where your mouth is!!

Spoon Favourites
Agree plus we went over LATE the night before and had crap preparation. As Pates mentioned we stayed with WCoast for 3 qtrs and only lost by 4 and a bit goals. Some of you people just love getting stuck into the club and do not stop to think what a poor situation we were in round one. This 2 teams playing is not relevant. They were at home in a weird situation which would have been a benefit compared to us getting in late and not the normal interstate preparation. Maybe if WCoast is the professional side as ET mentioned then FOLLOW them in lieu of the Dees. Let's see what the next couple of rounds (whenever played) bring before going over the top.

ULTIMATE REDLEG: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1953-2020 - Neitz vs Flower
I went for Ronald Dale over Robbie JUST and the scoreline was tight with Robbie just getting over the line. This time I have to go for Robbie.He has Neita covered in my opinion. Another tight one coming up me thinks!!

Legends Match: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1953-1987 - Barassi vs Flower
Gee you are making it tough. Can't separate these two at all but going to go with number 31. Sorry Robbie

Jurrah’s Journey
Unfortunately BBO we are covered in what could have been's/maybe's/if only's etc and Jurray is one of the many.
-
Dees vs Kangaroos 1991 Jakovich’s 11 Goals
Pity his career ended so short. Add in Scwarta's knee problems and can just imagine if they both stayed fit and healthy. Two things from this game other than his goals were did he got off the report and how good was Stynes.

MFC greatest goals competition
And again. Took a while to vote on them all individually. Bit silly. Woewodin's goal for me is best.
-
GAME 28: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1988-2020 - Neitz vs Schwarz
Has to be Neitz however as i have mentioned previously Schwarz would/may have taken it if his legs stood up.
-
GAME 26: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1988-2020 - Gawn vs Viney
Love Gawn however he really has only come into his own last few years whereas Todd was a consistent great payer for us over the whole journey. Going with Viney but if this was on in a couple of years and Max continues his current form then Max would get the nod.
-
GAME 24: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1988-2020 - Schwarz vs Wight
Got to agree with you here. Schwartz in my opinion would have won a Brownlow from a forward spot he was that talented. Shame he did his knees. Was brilliant to watch when on song.

Which MFC players do you leave out of the hub
Leave Trac out as he will annoy the crap out of the rest locked in a hub!!!
-
GAME 14: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1988-2020 - Robertson vs Oliver
Robbo for me. Was terrific to watch and never left you wondering what will happen next. No doubt Oliver will become a great player but right at this moment I have to favour Robbo.
-
GAME 11: Demonland's Best/Favourite Demon 1988-2020 - Lovett vs O'Dwyer
Brett Lovett by a country mile. One of the most skillful players I have witnessed.Could use him in today's team.

1988 Elimination Final
Now that's the reason we lost. We played to early. Had of been the last Saturday we would have won. Then again I reckon no one was to beat the Bombers that year.
