Where can we get every other players' school bios?

Why do the AFL media insist on calling every player a star?
bush demon replied to Pickett2Jackson's topic in Melbourne Demons
It's the AFL drip-fed propaganda that there is a level-playing field, as promulgated by the draft. Hence any given club has 'stars' who can sway match-day results from season to season. In reality the comp. rewards clubs that have foresight to purloin the country's top talent. -
FWIW I think Wells and Healey also kicked lots of goals. Healey also played as a forward and kicked 90? One year.

Ssssh! That's supposed to be a closed session.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
bush demon replied to DemonLad5's topic in Melbourne Demons
It shouldn't, that's the problem. FWIW I find Brian to be a funny and entertaining presenter. It's just that he presents an old guard view on this topic, and my example presented some necessary truth-telling. -

Another reason why you need female commentators. On Fox the female commentator rightly described the incident as a 'rogue elbow', only to see the cavalry arrive with Brian Taylor and good old afl.com au rush in with the accidental elbow line. Compare this with the Neville Jetta dangerous tackle decision. The AFL are either protecting the head or they are not. -

Didn't look good at all on the replay. Fortunately the AFL.com.au opinion editors cleared it. -
We were about 8-0 with Tiddles Ridley in '71.
-
I am saying that the grass roots underpinning of 'Australian rules' is what holds up football, not 'Head Office'.
-
And now we have the marketed fiction that AFL gives money to the clubs when in fact it is the clubs that give money to the AFL, and the grass roots which gives free and ongoing good will to the top tier competition. Without which it could not survive.

If we get the chocolates today BB will be 24 hours closer to Tulsa.

Looks like Josh Kelly's possible move south could work in our favour if a Hawthorn is looking to spend up. With clubs tight on salary cap this could work in our favour. With WCE Tigers Footscfay and Geelong seemingly having a lock on top positions why would a player like Clayton even consider leaving the red and the blue: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/8-million-man-or-homeward-bound-gws-star-josh-kelly-s-unique-choice-20210330-p57fce.html

I want to know what's wrong with Mars as a homeground if Earth becomes uninhabitable. You could play a given season there in hub format, for example. Several seasons could be trialled at Alice Springs to see if the idea has legs. Umpiring could be be by autonomous robot. And Kayo could chip in to subsidise cost of living adjustments.
-
That was in The Age a couple of days ago. i will have a look for the link.

Melbourne is one of the listed clubs whose salary cup is tight. So an Essendon or a Hawthorn could knock on his door with a mega-offer. So we have to basically have high finish to keep him, IMO.

Please, Mr Choco: Time to unleash your Kicking Skill Magic
bush demon replied to dieter's topic in Melbourne Demons
Block out the fugazzi. -
The players are all mates any way, it's the spectators and social media you have to worry about.

I tried doing the home brew version at one time and the bottom of each bottle indeed was a briny sediment. Can't argue with 40 cents a bottle though.

I can't believe the love for Cooper's Pale Ale. Should be drinking Cooper's Stout after a win like this.

Simon Goodwin Interview SEN (17/3/21)
bush demon replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Who have been our rucking captains? Big Carl? Don Cordner. One of those two, probably Carl in this instance, could surely demonstrate some of the finer points of intimidation to Big Maxy? -
Whoever he hit won't be in good condition either.
-
(Pointing at Percy).
-
A lot of the posters on here presumably wouldn't (either) take kindly to Ron Barassi's subterfuge in dumping Melbourne and taking his mojo to the navy blues. At the time RDB was multi-premiership captain, 1964 B and F, and the merchandising and promotional front of the club. Good luck to TS, it's only a game after all and he was chucked into what was a compulsory draft.

TRAINING: Friday 22nd January 2021
bush demon replied to Bring-Back-Powell's topic in Melbourne Demons
When and where do they train? -
If we win a flag with that as our home based we could rename it the Golly Gosh.
