  1. If you go Sunday you could watch two games. Get there early and support Daisy and the girls.
  2. St Kilda defence played rings around ours. They were chopping and changing so much that Jetta, Dunne and McD had no idea and completely lost contact - result one of the smallest players on the field left to defend against one of the tallest. Really frustrating to watch but so obvious that I wondered why wasnt the runner out. St Kilda must have been licking their lips - easy pickings.
  3. Am I wrong but didn't Bernie get a little nudge
  4. Having players knocking doors down to get into the team is a first for a while as well. We are able to manage young players better because of this.
  5. If you were italian, Petrahcca is definitely correct. The "a" is the same as casa or allora and the emphasis is on the cc. Just saying. Isn't it wonderful what two wins does to Demonland. What a pleasant place it is at the moment.
  6. I think Dom Tyson stopped as well
  7. Bern... the love just grows and grows
  8. If you ever get the opportunity to hear Daisy speak, take it up. She is amazing. At last years B&F her speech drew people to their feet and a thunderous applause. We are very lucky to have her represent the Club on and off the field. My hope is that we can in some way include her in our Administration.She will bring people with her.
  9. Volunteers were in Monday and Tuesday nights doing usual renewal calls and achieved 50 odd new renewals so we hopefully we will have the record beaten by the Richmond game. Would be great to announce a new record on Sunday night. I would hate to suggest it might announce a renewal of the the mighty MFC. We should not though be satisfied with just breaking the record so all you Demonlanders who are able to purchase an additional membership, even an armchair membership($69), for a longsuffering supporter or a Collingwood supporter looking for a winning team to support, ring the Club on 1300 336 667 or go on-line and sign up another member.
  10. Love the image of the soldier on the front
  11. BD contact the Club tomorrow 1300 336 667 and confirm. You may just scar the poor boy for a lifetime having to sit with the ferals. If you are going to Gosch's Paddock to watch training don't forget that it is easier to catch the train into Richmond Station and walk across the road. Although DLanders say there is parking over the bridge and walk across. I am sure there will be plenty of good advice coming your way. The players are really friendly and I am sure your son will get some great autographs and selfies with his favourite players after training. Enjoy. What a great trip to do together.
  12. Harmes and Taylor had a "discussion" just around from the goal on the MCC members side on the boundary. Harmes ran off into the play with Taylor following him. The ball would have been at least 15-20m away and Harmes went down like he had been shot.Taylor kept running away with the Melbourne supporters going ape. Not one umpire saw the incident. Not sure if it was mentioned on any of the media at the time. It was a cheap shot.
  13. Can't be sure but that move may have been controlled from the box or the MFC Official at the interchange. Doesn't matter it was brilliant. When was the last time we have seen a move like that.
  14. He walked around in a tracksuit on to the ground at quarter time, smiling and talking with people. Seemed perfectly fine and even if he had passed the concussion test they probably would have been taking a very conservative approach to him returning to the field given what is at stake here.
  15. Like the Essendon supporters who I saw whilst waiting in the car park after the game, shoving their flags inside MFC supporters cars. Nice work.
  16. If Garlett is fit he will start ahead of the rest. I watched Hunt at Casey last Saturday and he certainly showed a real turn of speed but I am still concerned with his disposal. He is so quick that he looked faster than Kent prior to his injury last year. It is his decision making after he has the ball but given that I also believe that having a solid stable forward line will provide for him more options going forward. (Loved his conversation with his Mum to let her know he had been picked.) Last Saturday at Casey I also noticed Petracca (wrong topic I know) when on the sideline didn't actually sit down but was very loudly yelling encouragement to players. He will not only be a huge presence on field but also off-field. Kennedy I think was described by one of the players "as an angry little man". If he is anything like that other angry little man in brown expect him to fire up against his former team mates. As to HL , he now has the confidence in both ankles after last week and I expect another running performance from him.
  17. To me, it is not how many marks Dawes takes it is the other things he offers the team that haven't been acknowledged by most MFC supporters. Hogan needs Dawes out there to play his role which includes taking marks but acting as a decoy, playing with the passion that we have seen in the past but I think more importantly giving leadership to JH at a time when he needs on field direction - whether this is advising on leading options or just a pat on the backside. To me Watts doesn't command this respect from JH (Jack is liked by everyone but liking and respecting are so different) whereas Dawsey's on field presence would immediately impact on JH state of mind. Dawes is not only academically intelligent but he also has the football and people smarts that good football leaders need. JH will be a far better forward with Dawes back on field.
  18. Of course they are as well as the rest of the team. Typical Lloyd self important bluster.
  19. Liked Gaetano Prestia's comment "Melbourne set to .... clean up the bombers". Any relation to you know who.
  20. Casey Scorpions twitter (on mfcwebsite) said H "pushed off and escape through traffic. Terrific stuff. He's been good so far"
