Sir Why You Little

I agree with this. Next Season the heat is on the Demons, and that is a good thing. This club must rise beyond what it has done for many years. We are a new club on & off the field. I like the fact that we are going to be marked very hard next year.

Its a 50/50 RR i can see there point, but its Fremantle. They have no past record to lean on, so i think it is arrogant as hell, but yes it will generate interest for next week. and of course the AFL will say nothing about today. Admission should have been free in Tasmania at least.

Well i think it will massively backfire on them, and i actually hope it does. Teams are starting to forget its a 22 round season. I don't think limping in ever gives any team a good chance. Even with players to come back in, the opposition is going to be so fired up to kill them.

Of course its Tankiong, they didn't play to win. Simple.

Sure they could win next week, but i still don't think it is the right attitude for the shockers to use, considering their past record in the AFL. Fremantle has not been Geelong or St. kilda over the last 3-4 years. Carlton will be salivating to rip them apart next week. Tanking for draft picks is one thing-Tanking before the finals i can never agree with.

No if Harvey had a back bone he would not allow this to occur. If the MFC was in the same boat, i would never agree to these tactics. The intensity levels go up from now on. It's not just who they dropped, but who they bought in. Those young kids could well be shot in confidence now, and that does not help anyone. Next week will tell, but i would have money on Carlton Smashing Freo next week & i hope they do. Going into a finals campaign with a white flag IMO is as bad as a wooden spoon.

Disagree as usual, Freo will be mince meat next week as they went down to Tassie with the white Flag. They are hardly a club over the last 15 years who has any right to such arrogance.

I am with you, but i think what fremantle did today just stinks and they deserve to get smashed.

This is a very rare statement from me because i despise them so much, But i hope Carlton absolutely smash the shockers up next week. Sure rest up 2-3 players but not 60% of the side. Fremantle will have lost all confidence for next week. That was more than a loss today. Fremantle do not have any runs on the board to be able to flaunt such arrogance IMO Such a shame the MFC cannot have a crack at them in week 1. Very large call from Harvey today-Basically puts his job on the line.

23 points to the Demons. Do it for the Captain. B)

Worried about what??? I was worried when junior was out for 6 weeks with a hammy. All players start their career & it all ends at some stage. I just hope that the MFC find a job for junior in the FD if he wants it for next year and maybe beyond. The sky is not going to fall in because JMac's career is finished on the field. B)

Well Done James McDonald. You are a legend of the MFC, and i hope you always stay close to the club-Your attitude can only be positive. Once that hammy injury got to 6 weeks i for one am not suprised that the club has "helped" you make your decision. We cannot carry anyone anymore. This club almost died 2-3 years ago-We need to give ourselves the best chance at success. I am sure Junior will still be around to help the young kids grow. Sad that you didn't run out on the 'G in 2000-but i am sure most here remember the message Woey had written on his arm. Lets win these last 2 games by good margins-and just maybe Junior can lead the Demons to a Final. You never know.

These 2 new "teams" have been cobbled together for reasons of Broadcasting & Marketing. So we Victorians & in particuliar MFC Supporters must make them feel uncomfortable & unwanted whenever they come anywhere near the MCG (and hopefully we can inflict much pain on them both when we travel to their money pits. Who will be the first Victorian Team to lose to these AFL Monsters?? nobody will want that acolade.

So glad you are not the coach!! With you Mad Monday has already begun...

Off Field the MFC gets an A+ (that includes supporters) On Field a B- The West Coast, North, Carlton & Adelaide games were unacceptable considering the games we played against The Filth & the Western Dogs. But great positive steps were taken. Next year is a Big one. The Honeymoon is over. We must start to Beat Top Sides next year. A Close loss is not good enough, regardless of the situation. Watch the way Geelong destroyed Footscray last week Demons. That's the Level you must aim for next year & Future Years-not just for one week, but set that level as Par. If all the Team is Ready to pull in the exact same direction, it can be done. Geelong are in year 4 & look set for a few more yet. Next year we start the Journey to the Top-anything less is a Failed year. B)

A mighty big Preseason for Jack this summer. Time for Jack to really push himself. The indecision he has shown must be eliminated from his game. He can do it-He just has to do it,Back himself in the Big League. I doubt if Jack had to often get out of 3rd gear playing junior Football-now he does. This is new territory Jack. Don't be scared. Challenge yourself in 2011

Why rest players with only 2 weeks to go. The list is paid by the club to play Football, not sit in the Grandstand in a suit. It's time to win a game interstate, and then Smash North in front of our Home supporters-Anything less is unsatisfactory. The Season runs 22 weeks-we all know that. Why Rest players before they go on Holiday? We are still a long shot to make the 8. Keep winning Demons.

I think you are forgetting the Pre Season. Those injuries set us back a long way.

Fair call, Those F@#$ing Dawks are really going to cop it from us in the next decade Geez we owe them Dozens of thrashings. Was it a good Crowd?

From overseas, just caught the scores. Any main reason why we only kicked 1 goal in the last Q?

what are the Trends of the Game?? Are we playing well, is it an all out war, or are we just hanging in there? I want to win this one so much!!!

Ben played very well today, even post injuries. Say what you will but he gives his all on the field.

If a rule like that is changed, what happens to all the old Goalkicking stats and Records? It's a fundamental rule that just should never be touched. It's what makes Aussie Rules our own game, along with 3 or 4 other standard rules. How many times did Norm Smith or Fred Fanning hit the post??

Well that would mean their constitution has been changed over the last 2 years, and i doubt that. A very passionate Essendon supporter mate of mine voted on the clash jumper 2 years ago i think it was. Members votes count. If the Constitution at Essendon has changed, we all would have heard about it Essendon supporters will never agree to wearing st.kilda colours without a bloody fight, and nor they should.

The Game is not on at all on the Australia Network in Asia-at least you Banana Benders get a replay..Life could be worse...!!
