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!

No we didn't. We improved our ladder position for 4 years, not 5. And if you call going from 17th in 2014 to 17th in 2019 "growth", then you are as brainwashed as everyone else at the club. I have huge respect for your posts on Demonland but I have to disrespect you on this one. Sorry.

2014 - 17th 2019 - 17th This idea of "growth" at the club, that brainwashed players like Brayshaw and Jones have been spewing out in the media recently, is totally delusional. These are some of the facts of the last 5 years: No premierships (AFL or VFL) More losses than wins (63-50) More losses than wins at the MCG (34-28), supposedly our "home" ground No Brownlow medalists, only 3 All Australians (Gawn, Oliver, Hibberd) and 1 Rising Star winner (Hogan) who got traded Not to mention the player and coach upheaval every year over the last 5 years. To quote @Sorry kids from last month, the "Club remains homeless and leaderless with no likelihood of a flag". Growth my [censored].

This BS certainly doesn't give me any hope: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-09-03/brayshaw-a-better-player-after-2019 “Obviously everyone would have preferred to have won, but I think there’s a lot of value in becoming a more rounded player and person, which is what I think we’ve got out of this year. It’s absolutely been a year of growth for everyone, not just me but coaches and players, and hopefully it’s that growth that propels us next year. I really believe that this is the hard year that will really set us up to be better next year. People will hear that and think, ‘Well we’ve had decades worth of bad years’, but I think we took some serious steps forward in areas that don’t really corollate exactly to wins. That will certainly go a long way to helping us become a better team and ultimately winning it all.” PUKE!

Exactly right:

This was certainly selfish and arguably, a little arrogant (happened a couple of minutes after the Fritsch spray): clarry.mp4 I'm a fan of Clarry but his disposal was pretty poor last night. Turned it over a number of times and his kicking for goal was s*ithouse. Also, his chemistry with Gawny seems to have waned. Hopefully, with a good pre-season and bit of confidence, they can all turn it around next year. Fingers crossed!
