Chook

BOG should go to your mate then.

Melbourne players react to the West Coast—Adelaide game in Round 23 last year.

Vince is one of those who just wants to be on an AFL list as long as he can. I can see us keeping him another 2-3 years as an AFL/VFL, then purely VFL player for depth, before finally letting him call it when he can't get an AFL game (2020 or so).

Warms my heart. Should be in the AFL team.

There only one Melbourne club. Melbourne.

My contempt for you is strongly growing.

Heston Blumenthal goes ok if you're into that kind of food.

Put this bloke on your list of Demonlanders who no nothing about football.

You're right. We got smashed by Brisbane a week later. After all these years, the Melbourne losses sort of blur together a bit.

Please let Pedersen be in. Just so I can watch my best 22 for the Melbourne Football Club run out as one, for the first time in my life.

Just putting this out there. I remember Jack Viney's first game. We got smashed by the Lions and he was the only one who cared. He was a kid. Welcome back cap.

By "Forced" he means "Unforced"? Does this person speak English?

I think the AFL is going on its (perhaps wrong) assumption that an umpire would never intentionally get close to a melee. Once that is established, there's no other course of action than to acquit the player.

The Right Result™ has happened, and should have happened days ago. We at Melbourne ought to thank the AFL for that at least…

On everything we've seen so far, Pedersen is way ahead of Weiderman when we go on "best performed" (or whatever this thread's premise is). Weeds has a lot of years to catch up though, which is good cause that's what the VFL is for. Also, who's JSmith and why is he in my best Melbourne footy side?

Agreed He's in. Not on his form this year.

I thought that was Frodo?

I guarantee a bunch of randoms from Northern States or with no real interest in footy will tune in this week to watch Melbourne play Carlton. Oh wait, is the Wedding on that day?

"The change comes after a recent spate of umpire contact charges against players, most notably against Tom Hawkins, Steven May, and Charlie and Ed Curnow." So, …most notably, all of them.

I just love Russell Robertson. He's one of those blokes who sends me right back to that golden age of my early footy life, after I moved down from Brissy and my grandpa got me into the Dees. I was just 8, but I knew Robbo was my man.

Reality TV and the Demons. My 2 great loves united in 1 ridiculous thread.

Petition to call this weekend's match day thread "Hello Curnows"...

Apart from Premiership coach of the Collingwood midfield, he'll never ever get a better opportunity than Senior Coach of the Melbourne Football Club. He cocked that one up pretty good though.

I think it's a good sign that can't call to mind those two games.
