Old Man Rivers

Trade Howe? FFS. You blokes have totally lost the plot.

Take that in a heart beat!

Tends to get exposed often and can really be opened up on the turnover!

426 retired from the Balwyn Tigers a premiership captain after the 2012 season.

Now Machiavelli, Bar setting has nothing to do with my comment. I was referring to Yorkies last two lines which I found quite quirky and humerous. It's OK I fully get from your response you would struggle to comprehend any form of humour in your head space. :-) <------ Take Note.

. Yorkie, classic response mate, still smiling. As for your original post suggesting Mitch Thorp. Why not, I reckon he is the type of story Roosy thrives on. You just might have made a decent smokie draft call.

Roosy has appeared :-))))))

Awesome News @ last. Welcome to our club Roosy. So much respect for a bloke that takes on the ultimate challenge. I actually love the 2 year twist. To me it puts so much accountability back on all area's of the club. Get serious & demonstrate you are prepared to come on this journey with me NOW.

Thanks Jako! Good pick up on the spelling, to many Father's Day sherbets before I posted.

Great Grand Final Scarlett! Seriously mate this premiership was decided by 1 straight kick. What a climax to an amazing season in 2013. Very proud to add OMR onto the Norm Smith League honour board after today taking out the 2013 Premiership. This comp has gone from strength to strength in its 3 year history. I can't wait to defend the title in 2014. Well played to all competitors in 2013. PS: I really just wanted to show off the new signature. :-)

MFC = Heartbreak Hotel

Came across this rumour last night over tea - Make what you want if it, my source was given this mail by a well connected client of his. All I can say is his track record is reasonably solid. There is a Ross Lyon style massive poach unfolding with an existing AFL coach! He did not name the coach involved however stated multi - million dollar 5 year deal on offer. We speculated all night! & yes I am talking about The Dees gig. Interesting twist, Interesting times!

Coach - Roos Captain - Nath Jones. Departed - Col Sylvia. Newly arrived in Red & Blue - Daniel Shiel, Daniel Cross, Nick Dal Santo, Harry O

. Well done JCB, I was simply outclassed all over the ground today. You are certainly in a rich vein of form at the minute, and to think Stevie J and Lindsey Thomas still to return. This game is all about depth, your team has plenty. I lose Goodes, Crameri and Harry O and the wheels fall off. I hope I can regroup and scramble into the 8 to earn another crack at your super team . Well played this weekend my friend.

Sounds like Harry O is very under estimated on here. He would be a huge get if possible for the M F C. Kicking huge 50 metre goals on Grand Final day ring a bell ????? Get Dawesy in his ear ASAP.

Dawes was universally bagged by Pie supporters over the last two seasons. They where to thick to accept he had a hand injury that was restricting his output. Look back at the 2010 finals series and you will see what an importand contributor he was to there flag. Reckon he was involved in just about every goal in the GF replay and he was also the bloke at the bottom of the pack that fed the ball to Travis Cloke that tied up the 1st 2010 GF. We have landed a ripper here, can't wait until he carves The Pies up on QB in the coming years. Dawes will help form a very potent forward line from here.

I'm lost too. Even more so now Nashers response is gone. Can someone fill in the missing pieces here?

If that game was 2005, we must have drawn down there in 2006? Does that sound right? It's been that long since we have won a real game my memory is failing me.

What a memory, I was there also. Was that 2006 ? I think we ended there season in that game. Sadly they have gone in to greatness & we have been a disgrace ever since that game.

After what can only be described as a disappointing start to the kid's career and had most of us questioning this selection things seem to be turning around with this kid. His last two games have seen him getting involved and finding plenty of footy. Now I don't want to moz the boy however his kicking in heavy traffic is elite and reminds me so much of Trapper(TJ). Hogan, Mitch, Dawes, Watts and Howe will love this kid over the next decade. Still early days however I am starting to see glimpes of why he went so high in the draft. Definite silver service weapon in the making.

That trade made No sense at all - I also vetoed. MM would of win the flag if that went through.

Has that Genie posted by Dee_luded over dosed on Viagra?

I have been on this Demon supporting journey for 50 year's. The bad times by far out weigh the good times on my watch, however the feeling I experienced in the 87 final series, 88 & 2000 preliminaries will always ensure I remain on this journey. I need to experiance that extra weeks victory in my lifetime. My passion & hope has only started to waiver in the last 18 months, however I know this is one train I will never get off. Go Demons!!!!!!!!!

12-7 is just a victory Scarlett. Your boys fought hard until the end. 8 goals from your Roo boys really made this a contest. JCB drops a game from nowhere, Hollywood hits back. HT takes out ladder leader RPFC. Jako solid again. Robbo 24 hits the top 8. MM back on the winners list. Range Rover unable to stop the bleeding still, now dropped 5 in a row. The next 3 Bye rounds about to test us all bigtime.

Well done to all winners in round 8. Some big upsets and some serious ladder movement. Very happy with my lads at the minute. Have rebounded from that disastrous 0 - 3 start to now have the win/loss ledger at 4 - 4 after a hat trick of victories. Biggest dilemma for 15 teams is how to stop the rampaging RPFC? 8 - zip is an imposing start. Hopefully the cracks are appearing by round 15 when I get my crack at the juggernaut .
