  1. High risk and maybe high reward. Throw him a lifeline and trust that a last shot in the big time will keep him on the straight and narrow. Would come at a bargain basement price.
  2. Age and week- in, week-out 'batterings' have caught up with Jonesy, and it shows. He's had opportunities to move to 'greener pastures' over the years, but he chose to stick with us, and I'm pleased that his loyalty has been rewarded with a contract extension. I hope he can add the 300 milestone to his already decorated career. We know that he will always give 110 %.
  3. All of the above. Great interview. Restored some 'lost' belief in our coaching and playing groups, and very importantly, 2020.
  4. If Steven May can get fit, and stay fit and on the field, he will be worth something near what we paid for him. He's a long way behind the ledger right now.
  5. Right up there with the best news I've heard all season. Good luck Vanders!
  6. The absolute essence of a 'vanilla' player. No thanks.
  7. Rotten luck for the lad. Neither he nor we will ever know 'what might have been'. Hope he has a 'big time' change of luck!
  8. I've always known of Danny Frawley as a champion footballer and media personality, but it was only after reading the words and sentiments expressed in these pages, that it hit home that he was also a champion person. Thanks for the insights Demonlanders. RIP Danny. Sincere condolences to his family.
  9. Foot injuries make me nervous.

  11. From the MFC Website: "The Club will speak in more depth about his position at the end of the season" It seems to me from this, that there are more dominoes to fall, and the Club is still in the process of clarifying what Richo's final role will look like. Maybe it depends on who else comes through the door, and who is shown the exit.
  12. Almosgt impossible but: 6. Melksham 5. Brayshaw 4. Lewis 3. Gawn 2. Lever 1. Viney
  13. Weakest team we have fielded all year, bar none! If we win, I'll eat my Demon beanie (or some of it anyway), and put the video on here for all to see. Cheers!
  14. Bluey was a 'great' of the Melbourne Football Club during it's greatest era. I'll always have fond memories of him speeding up and down the wing at the 'G', and delivering the ball with precision to our forwards. A sad loss. RIP Bluey.

  16. I live in the damn place. Glad I chickened out on going to Manuka tonight. There's enough snow in my back yard!
  17. Easy peasy! We are going all out for a Casey finals berth. Hore helps Casey's cause! but ..........................!

  19. I'll be watching from the comfort of my recliner in the back blocks of Canberra, and searching for evidence of 'tinkering' to our game plan, that Goody mentioned in yesterday's presser.
  20. JKH gets an overdue opportunity this season.

  22. Nope, it was 1948, and sadly I left the; 'very young 70s' behind quite some time ago. I desperately need another Flag before the long sleep.
  23. Its been a very long time fd, but at least you've had 6 Flags in your lifetime (and I'm one up on you !) The ones I really feel sorry for are my kids (3 all in their 40s). As part of our household they had no choice about what team to support, and they've stuck fat all the way. I'm not sure if it's out of 'blind loyalty' to the MFC or their old man. (lol).
