Couldn't agree more Mydee. As an interstate supporter, Demonland is my football 'lifeblood'. Sincere thanks to all involved in Demonland! I don't know how you do it, but you manage to keep me sane, but drive me mad at the same time.

Great game. Probably the two clubs that I admire most, but I'm really glad the Swans won.

He certainly passes enough sh!t to fall into that category!

Dunny has become a solid role player, and is amongst the best few kicks at the Club. Given his versatility, and our dearth of decent kicks, I would have been very surprised if he had been shown the door.

It is 'bub ...... both to drink and as part of an MFC memorabilia collection.

Casboult would be a good pick-up if we could snare him. Might be a better (or at least safer) option to Butcher given Butcher's history of injuries.

We need decent bait though 'bub ............. an area where we might struggle if the required lure is more than just $s..

I really hope this post is 'tongue in cheek', but just in case it's not, does 'high performance with high integrity' ring any bells?

Great effort Jonesy. About 40 of our team mates now need to take a leaf out of your book.

Agree. Outstanding tribute to Jimmy. The tears flowed again.

Me too daisy, but it looks great none-the-less.

Norm's name will be always synonymous with AFL greatness, so long as the game is played. It will be great to have a permanent tribute outside the ground where he created so much history.

I was in my penultimate year of high school in '64, and had enjoyed all the successes of our era of glory. I'm now well and truly retired. Little did I know .........

Fair point Jordie.

I doubt that mono. There were a few hard and uncompromising leaders during his time in Brisbane, but he still failed to get the best out of himself ..... but who knows, the damage may already have been done by that late stage in his career.

I agree, BL was strong for his size (especially through the hips), but perhaps his greatest strength was his strength of mind and determination never to be beaten in a contest.

Agree. Another good reason for hoping that the 'pies are eliminated this weekend.

We have three grown up kids, all are Dees members and one has converted his partner from NM to Melbourne. My wife was a Dogs member when we were courting, but part of her wedding vow was to support the MFC. She's been one of ours ever since! Currently working on the 4 grand kids ..... a 5yo is wavering between Melbourne and Richmond, but leaning towards Richmond because she likes their song better; a 4yo says she will barrack for the Dees if they change their colours to pink and purple; a 3yo is already a Dee through and through and one is still in nappies but loves her Dees teddy and bib.

A an absolute stalwart in defence for the Dees, who got everything out of himself as a player, and it seems that as a coach he was able to get the very best out of his players. Did a fantastic job with Casey, particularly given that he only coached on a part-time basis. I'm sorry to see him go, but I greatly admire him for his decision and the reasons behind it.

Obviously we don't know what compensation we will get for Moloney (possible 3rd round?), but given his contribution this year, I expect I'd be comfortable to trade the Moloney compensation pick for Pedersen, who was impressive in his first year.

Is my support for the Dees unconditional? YCBYFLOI!!

I don't mind the blazers from a heritage perspective, but what concerns me greatly is when they look and play like schoolboys on match day. This must change significantly in 2013. I think it will!!

Congratulations to all the place-getters, but it's not time to get comfortable. To you, and everyone else who remains on the list in 2013: buy in 100%; come back in top shape from your break; work your asses off over summer, and start to earn back respect to the Melbourne Football Club.

The 'staff' end of year reviews commenced today.

If we recruit him, and he turns out to be as good as his namesake Peter (MFC 1980s) I'll be happy
