Another great decision by management to base ourselves in a location surrounded by rugby ovals, surf and backpackers. Played on Weldon Oval in the 90s and it is skinnier than Frankston Oval and sandier than the Sahara Desert. Biggest ground (and best surface) we played on back in those days was the one at Mac Uni. Probably got better facilities there now too. And it's a lot f*cking closer to Olympic Park than Manly. But hey, let's just put the players up at one of the most expensive and relaxing beach hotels in Australia. They deserve it.

Sorry to say but nothing is going to change until we find a home. The wheels clearly fell off in 1965 when, amongst other fateful things that year, we were forced to share our ground with Richmond and then in 1985 were effectively kicked off it. The off-field leaders of our Club have made mistakes year upon year and we are now just gypsies p*ssing in the wind.

GIVE US THE FOUR POINTS FFS!!!! This is farcical: https://www.afl.com.au/news/455889/-the-rules-are-pretty-clear-dons-could-play-with-bare-minimum

Absolute farce: https://www.afl.com.au/news/449921/silk-s-danger-ous-tackle-forces-afl-to-make-shock-rule-tweak

Our prelim hero Jordan Lewis said there was "no double action" and it was a "well executed tackle"! https://player.whooshkaa.com/player/playlist/show/1919?visual=true&sharing=true&episode=674266 W*****R.

And let's not forget Dangerfield got BOG the following week. So much for serious concussion

Changed his tune from 9 years ago: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/that-s-afl-footy-dangerfield-had-no-problem-with-burgoyne-tackle-20200612-p5527x.html https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-to-appeal-trengove-suspension-20110511-1ehzx.html "Notman said the medical report detailing Dangerfield's injury was the most damaging evidence produced at the tribunal hearing"

Spot the difference:

No Match Review? Could be some Leigh Matthews-type hits behind play

I agree, he wasn't that bad. The Club might be just giving him some more time to deal with his brother's death. Hope he is okay.

I hope this match gets a mention: http://demonwiki.org/1993+Reserves+Grand+Final Not a bad reserves team: B: Jeff Hilton, Scott Simister, Shane Burgmann HB: Rod Keogh, Andy Goodwin, Haydn Robins C: Darren Cuthbertson, Graeme Yeats, Jason Norrish HF: Brett Evans, Adrian Campbell, Kevin Dyson F: Andrew Lamprill, Darren Bennett, Greg Healy Foll: Greg Doyle, Michael Pickering, Chris Sullivan

And Jack Baquie, [censored] Taylor, Don Hooper and Norm Matthews. And on the subject of Ditterich going from St K > Melb > St K > Melb, another German footballer has recently done the same thing: Mats Hummels (Bayern > Dortmund > Bayern > Dortmund)!

You have got to be joking!!! Did you even watch him play? Lovey oozed more class and had more awareness on the ground than anyone on this list. And state player for 4 consecutive years (88-91) says it all. Was terrible in front of a TV camera though ?

100% agree. The Flash changed football forever in 2004

Clearly not if you are a Collingwood member:

With Mitch Brown at full forward? Give me a break

Who runs backwards around the Tan?! Bit gutless not running up Anderson St Hill

Dunkley

Must have been all North supporters and all in the top tier of the Southern Stand ?

When Clarkson kicked that goal, the roar in the old Southern Stand at the G was deafening. Loudest roar I have ever heard. Will never forget. And yes, the Prelim brought us all to tears.

As Bernie Quinlan said at Robbie's memorial service at the MCG: "If we can't have a statue of Robbie Flower here, there's something wrong." https://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-13/footy-greats-farewell-demon-legend-robbie-flower

Will never forget how hard he was in his younger days (before his foot injury). This epitomised his toughness: Unsurprisingly being a Melbourne player and first time offender, he got 3 weeks for that. Also thanks in part to Dangerfield's acting and testimony (mind you, Dangerfield played the following week and kicked 6 goals).

We stopped being a big club when we allowed Richmond to share "our ground" in 1965 and worse, being kicked off it in 1985

Hope will come for the Club when the curse of '65 is lifted!
