POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Fremantle
Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest.

Can Petracca Save the Demons?
Would have / should have etc is correct. It's often abbreviated to would've / should've which clearly confuses some people as it then sounds like would of / should of. You can block me as well if you like but you'd still be wrong.

James Jordon to Debut Round 1
A huge manatee? Nah faulty, just observing that it wasn't only The Lone Numpty potting a debutant.

Medical Sub
I was confused because you alluded to "17 on the field". As far as the new sub rule goes, I've yet to hear a convincing argument in favour of it and I believe it to be totally unnecessary and yet another example of the AFL feeling the urge to tinker with the game.

Simon Goodwin Interview SEN (17/3/21)
It's not just this thread, Ernest. There have been some horrible things posted on this site about our coach.

James Jordon to Debut Round 1
Which has been liked by three other posters so far.

Medical Sub
I don't get your point, SWYL. If a team of 22 loses a player to a match-ending injury, they would still have 18 on the field but the bench would reduce from four to three. Ergo, the load is spread among 21 players.

Simon Goodwin Interview SEN (17/3/21)
If posters are being this nasty and vicious towards Simon Goodwin before we've even played a game, one shudders to think what new level of vitriol they have in reserve if things don't go well this season.

Simon Goodwin Interview SEN (17/3/21)
One of the many quirks of our wonderful English language is that one who is down may be described as being "flat as a tack" but a person who is clever can also be said to be as "sharp as a tack". What does that all mean? Well, it's a tack so there must be a point. I suppose it depends upon which end the tack you're referring to.

2021 Demonland Predictions
Viney hasn't played fewer than 10 games in any of his eight seasons. Strange comment!
-
Medical Sub
I believe it would be subject to a doctor's report and that the 12-day break would also apply as outlined in the concussion sub rules. It's not as if the AFL would do anything silly is it?
-
Medical Sub
Media reports suggest than the sub may be used for any type of injury that rules a player out of the rest of the match. AFL expected to make an announcement about this today.

Mark Williams Interview
Werribee, wasn't it?

RIP Doug Parkinson...
I hope it's not disrespectful to say I thought he had passed away years ago. Doug was a true legend of Aussie music and a singer with an incredible voice.

DEMON PLAYERS ANGRY
No matter what Max or any player says, words will never please everybody. Winning games of football, on the other hand ...

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MAJAK DAW
I wonder if the posters advocating playing Majak Daw on the strength of his performance in a VFL practice match are the same ones that said we should draft Kobe Farmer because his dad was really good.

Clever player, Lockhart. I hope he doesn't lose the knack.

DEMON PLAYERS ANGRY
Can I suggest a change to the thread title to read "Demon Fans Angry At Yet Another Puff Piece".
-
2021 Injury List
This is the injury thread, bobby. You made the comment in support of a known hyperbole merchant who potted Darren Burgess because some of our players have injuries.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Cue the usual gloomers saying he'd be better value than Charlie.
