Why thank you fine sir, this makes it worth while.

Anyway guys I hope you don't take yourself to seriously about this as I just like to entertain myself, and of course you all.

Biggest stupid thread in a long time, just thought I would start trade week and it's rumours a little bit earlier this year.

I think 2 pages and thousands of views in 5 hours is not bad considering it all just made up.

In a way I suppose you could say I am behind enemy lines as I am a frequent poster on here but obviously come under a different name.

I will refesh my IP address so I can't be blocked.

Love you all

What a grade-A [censored]

Last year there were similar posts going around saying how it was confirmed that we're agreed a deal for the big Setant, and yet there he was in the pre-season kicking his Carlton teammate in the plums.

Seeing the McLean rumour a day early and it turning out to be true was the first time ever I've seen something so wild speculated about on the internet before coming true.

Every year this list comes out and everyone has a coronary over it. Who cares? It's some guy's opinion. Write your own Top 50 if you're that offended.

Surely everyone's used to us getting ignored by now.

Anyone in Melbourne know whether this game will be on free to air or pay tv?

I'd love to get a look at Jack Trengove.

Neither. The ABC are too cheap to show it nationally like they did with the VFL.

no article on the merger if anyone wants to make one

There's one on all the merger talks from the 80's onwards including the 1996 fiasco

Of course now just as I've posted this the whole database has gone t!ts up. Hoorah for technology.

Hey punters,

I've been spending so much time reading articles from the past that I've had barely any time to write about recent players.

If anyone has the time to take one or two players and do a respectable run down of their career that would be much appreciated. http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/tiki-index....09+Playing+List

Chase them with baseball bats.

I should ring 'em up and say that I have it from the highest source that if Fev doesn't get traded then Judd will leave and Gibbs will go home to SA. Might put the cat amongst the pigeons.

And they'll just buy it hook, line and sinker. Especially given that this week is the SEN B-Team. They'll be so desperate for good radio you could tell them anything.

It's ironic that a station who have been playing an ad that says "don't waste time with bogans" for years, allows so many of them on to air their nutbag views.

I swear people queue up to ring SEN with b/s rumors at this time of the year. I know a guy who used to do it every year.

Only if we're trying to break the record for the most unrelated Lovetts in any given place.

Mine just got automatically renewed. Saves me from considering doing anything stupid like changing to an AFL membership.

I'm sick of having to suck up to everyone who wants to leave. I've gone cold on my 2010 membership slogan of ONCE YOU GO BLACK YOU NEVER GO BACK and am now promoting - 2010: FIT IN OR F**K OFF.

Do people get off on spelling his name McClean? It's only been six years afterall...

We've now included the link to Melbourne Wiki on our links and provided the link to Every Day is LIke Sunday (Demonblog) immediately under Demonology.

Cheers

Lovely stuff!

And while we're at it, here's another article I turned up from December 1987

Would have been a handy player with handy off-spring you'd think.

Surely we're going to get our own man in there. But who? Back to Mark Williams? Kelly O'D?

Nobody can use the "they're just following the laws" argument when you see them blatantly 'put it away' in the last quarter. Pay it all day or not at all - then I'll blame the league.

St. Kilda have held this title since Round 1, 1897.

FFS Mark Riley in his brief stint managed to get more out of the playing group then Bailey has.

Didn't hurt that he had experienced players like Ward, Brown, Bizzell, Pickett and Yze/White in their last useful year. Besides beating Carlton twice (once in a complete farce) and a pretty ordinary Footscray side in the second half of that year was hardly a great trial. Not saying he wasn't any good but you can't possibly compare a coach in the most of an epic rebuilding phase to a caretaker who smacked a couple of ordinary sides and had a last-up win handed to him on a platter by some cheats.

The only thing that troubles me about Bailey to this day a year and a half later is just how Isaac Weetra got one game let alone two.

I'm dying for the day when we win an absolute thriller that really means something. He seems calm down but I reckon he's got it in him to go right off.

Hi punters, just wanted to bump this with an update on Demon Wiki - but as an additional bonus I'll put up the most bizarre article I've found while researching.

First things first - it's the 1987 prelim, a plane load of Melbourne fans heading for Bangkok, Steve Vizard and Lobbie Flower

Anyway, enough casual racism from the mid 80's - back to business.

Since the last post in this thread we've got our act together and finished adding pages on every player and every match. They're not all hugely in-depth but the framework is there if you want to add something or write up a profile on somebody. Help on current players would be much appreciated as I'm too busy trawling the 70's and 80's to concentrate on what's going on in 2009.

As of right now there are 4137 pages on there from grand finals and premiership captains to supplementary list players, failed draftees and the Grand Final sprint. If anyone has any pictures or old school team lists that they can help with that would be much appreciated.
