The significance of the Brownlow medal has substantially diminished during the 21st Century.

Don’t expect any money coming from the State Government. Victoria is so far in debt that it will take generations to recover from. Maybe federal funding, but most of the money will need to come from private donations, MCC and naming rights.

The AFL Academies- Lions, Suns, Giants, Swans
Demon Disciple replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
I honestly don’t understand why these clubs get a leg up with their academies. Much like the NGA’s, if a kid is selected under pick 40 (or whatever it is), clubs shouldn’t be able to match bids for them. I’m happy for the F/S rule to change to this too, in order to establish a fairer draft system. These clubs opted to establish themselves in these locations, they weren’t told to go there. They should deal with the consequences of their decisions, both good and bad. -

Such a shame the Puddy Tats lost. Ill sleep very contently tonight.

My hope is for a Brisbane premiership. They’ve been up for a while and deserve a flag more than the Swans. That and I can’t stand the arrogance of Swans supporters when their team is in a GF

In a word……….culture
-
I’m sorry, but to not even score in a quarter is inexcusable. Especially considering that we were 3 goals up going into the last.
-
The success that permeated the club has now been completely replaced by a fear of losing.

A real barometer of our team. Plays well when the team is playing well, goes missing when the team if playing poorly
-
I’ve been in to the middle of the racecourse numerous times and it ain’t exactly teeming with local residents. Funnily enough, neither is Caulfield Park most days. This is just locals complaining for the sake of it, and I doubt they’ll be complaining when there are 2 lovely footy ovals for them to play on (as well as soccer pitches), if/when this gets built. As a local resident, I cannot see any downside for the MFC to build here (and I’d be saying exactly the same thing if another footy club were to be attempting to build there too).

Tiger snakes are known to be seen around the Yarra River

Champagne would be more appropriate.

dont be near me when that happens please

5th flag in 17 years………….pathetic. It only took Fish Creek 9 years to accomplish the same feat (well actually only 7, given 2020 & 2021 were wiped out due to Covid). Premiers in 16,17,18,23 & 24. Making for a total of 38 senior premierships 💪💪💪 Throw in hopefully the announcement soon of the MFC training base, and I honestly could not give a brass razoo on who wins this years AFL GF (but agree, Geelong falling shy would be the outcome everyone hopes for)

Wouldn’t mind Owies. He doesn’t do a whole heap, but he bobs up every now and then and also stays put in the forward line.
-
@goodwindees any info on the role, if any, Kate Roffey might have played in all this. Or is it more Pert we have to thank for this?
-
Recruit Razor and bring back Gus to the roles of Umpire Engagement Officers?
-
Could also kick further on his non-preferred foot.
-
Never seen more Dees fans at a game than this one. We must’ve had at least 60,000 at that game - such was the amount of red & blue in the stands.
-
Who knows, probably all 3 will get together 10 years down the track and have a good laugh about it. All I see is 3 guys who can give it out, but can’t take it themselves. Sam Mitchell is another I’d put in that category too. My respect goes out to those who cop it, yet let their actions do their only talking.

Ginnivan is an annoying and naive kid who will take an age to ‘grow up’. Does it matter that he needs to reap what he sows? Honestly I don’t care one way or the other. He’s polarising that’s for sure. What I don’t like is the smug look from Hinkley and whatever his words were to the Hawks playing group. He was humiliated only 8 days ago and I hope that’s what Sicily said to him. I’d be embarrassed if our coach did the same thing, thankfully ours has more sense at least than Ken.

Without question bottom 6. Probably bottom 3. I was at Whitten Oval last night, and whilst it is nice enough, not a huge amount of space (no more than what we have at Casey), but it’s all theirs and it always has been. You can’t put a price on that. Same way for Saints at Moorabbin and Roos at Arden Street.

He's an odd bod. Isnt the first and wont be the last.
