Demonstone

I think we both know the answer to that!

Nowies to Owies.

Looking forward to seeing him stand and deliver for MFC in 2025 and beyond.

He did his ACL at training. The basketball incident caused a broken toe.

Is this a case of making a molehill out of a Mountain Dew?

Buckley hid his medal in his sock. Peter Moore famously threw away his runners-up medal after one of the many Collingwood GF losses.

Me too. I'd rather sort your sock drawer than listen to Trade Radio.

The current deal guarantees that the Grand Final will be played at the MCG until at least 2059. At that point, Essendon will still be waiting for their first finals win for 55 years.

That's probably a fair assessment, @titan_uranus.

Wayne Harmes was younger when he won it in 1979, although it was still the VFL then. I don't think Harmes removed his medal from around his neck for at least a couple of days.

Who is Sam Marshall's father?

Jordon was part of a midfield that was comprehensively thrashed. Maybe he's not the star that some here make him out to be and constantly lament his leaving?

Jordon must have only had a part-time job, then. He went missing for large chunks of the game with a mere 13 touches and four tackles.

The father-son rule is a lottery that all clubs have a ticket in. There's nothing flawed about it.

You might say it was a Bloodbath.

Must be almost time to turn the TV on. Is all the pre-game bullshirt finished yet?

Screw JJ. He dumped us, don't forget. Yes, I'm being very mature and taking the jilted lover approach to this game.

Errr ... minor question without notice. These reports and match previews always seem to be posted on the main Melbourne Demons board, necessitating their transfer to the AFLW board. Wouldn't it be easier to just post them on the correct board to start with?

You reckon you had it tough? I was raised by my father as Mum left home before I was even born.

Our entrant in the Grand Final sprint is ... Oliver Sestan. I imagine you'd get reasonable odds on him winning. Gamble responsibly.

PETA has a history of organising stunts like this to get publicity. They always make outrageous, unrealistic claims/demands that inevitably evoke a knee-jerk reaction from the gullible and perpetually offended. Don't take it seriously, just have a chuckle then ignore it and the whole thing will disappear very quickly.

I think it's less to do with "woke" (whatever that really means) and more about attracting attention and publicity - and it seems like they've already succeeded with that objective.

You shouldn't sign the contract unless they include the tomato sauce, @hardtack.

The Brownlow Medal, for all its faults, still retains much of its cachet. I could name many, many Brownlow winners but very few winners of media and other awards over the years.
