    Final thought; like many of us, I have a little glimmering memory of maaaany years ago when Ratten was briefly our midfield coach and really started to turn it into an effective unit before being poached.

    Like really?

    Ratts was our mid field coach for 1 season, and was then 'poached' to coach a suburban footy second division team for 2 years.

    Then gets a assistant job at carlton just before pagan got the axe.

    TBH I smell a ...

    For ND~50 this is a no brainer.

    28 is a prime time for any footballer and he has a great left boot.

    On the broadcast wing and given a chip out from one of the forwards.

    Immediately we are better.

    And 25- 30 is usually the years when blokes start to grow up and show some maturity

    We had a little chant just for Toby. It’s gonna be sad not ever singing it again. But I’ve been told multiple times by people on here that there’s no room for sentimentality in footy so I guess we’ll just substitute someone else’s name for his. 😭😭😭

    Well there is some room within my heart for that secret joy when an an ex Demon plays well.

    I am using tiny writing to support my investment in spec savers

    Melbourne

    List needs:

    • Classy midfielder/forward who can pass precisely to inside 50m targets

    • Ruck depth

    • Outside run and speed

    Who should they target?

    The major missing link for Melbourne is a classy midfielder/forward who can hit inside 50 targets reliably. 2021 Sandover Medallist, Bailey Rogerswould fill the role perfectly with his versatility to play midfield and forward and his classy skills, strong marking and ball winning capabilities a bonus. With Carlton midfielder Will Setterfield in and out of Carlton's best-22, he may be someone Melbourne could make enquiries into as a further classy midfielder who could add improved balance to the Demons midfield.

    While Brodie Grundy has been heavily rumoured to be joining Melbourne, the Demons should be demanding Rory Lobb as part of any deal for Luke Jackson. While Lobb has requested a trade to Western Bulldogs, Melbourne arguably need Lobb more, not just as a ruck, but as a contested marking force close to goal and someone who does not relegate Gawn to spending most of his time forward. What makes the Lobb fit so ideal is that he is ideally suited to a relieving ruck role behind Gawn and gives the Demons the option if Gawn misses games at some point to take over as Melbourne's lead ruck.

    While Bradley Hill has been linked to North Melbourne, the wide-open expanses of the MCG would suit Hill much better as it did during his tenure with Hawthorn. With Melbourne a team featuring prolific ball winners, Hill for the Demons would need to do nothing more than just be himself which makes Melbourne his ideal landing spot.

    How depressing....

  5. Just got an email from the MCC

    What a wonderful AFL Finals Series we had this year as we finally welcomed back September action to the MCG.

    Are they serious?  It was a terrible series and the GF was a shocker.  Someone obviously slept through September.

    Meds time… someone needs to take a chill pill or ten. It’s a topic of discussion. 

    And if you’re gonna take someone to task, at least spell their name correctly. It’s B-I-Z-K-I-T 😜

    Ah WCW, dont you love Demonland?

    Demonlander staggers out of bed and looks in bathroom mirror.

    DL staggers into hall and looks in hallway mirror.

    Mirror 'You need a shave/eyebrows plucked, you igorant eff ing !@#'

    I love the 'sound' of Demonland in the morning

    Also, the Greg Wells trade in '81 to Carlton for $35k and Vinny Catoggio hurt too.

    Greg had been a faithful servant of the club and towards the end of his career we let him go to seek success.  Not every trade can be judged on face value.

    I’m afraid your memory is playing tricks with you. We lost to the Eagles in 1990. I still believe it was because the draw, which delayed our match for a week, left us very flat. Even in the warmup, it was plain that we weren’t switched on. I believe that we should have won the premiership that year.

    Flat, I remember running down to the boundary line and yelling 'oi, the game actually started 15 minutes ago'

    The jam donuts .Mate of mine and i always bought them for our wives on way home via connells tavern in elizabeth st.Two very drunk blokes in charge of donuts is not a good look but it was the thought that counted.First game one year we meet at the tavern my mate only wore his fav jacket to the footy,puts his hand in the pocket ,yep the jam donuts were still there from the last game the previous year

    On a similar vein, best mate grabs his footy travel bag for a spruce up the day before round 1.  Inside was a paper bag containing 2 dim sims.
