Joe boy You are too black and white. Win, we have so many good players, lose we have few. Today we lost by 28 points not 128 points. Yet you could find only two players worth their salt.They must have played brilliantly to keep the losing margin under 5 goals. Sorry mate, but today you were over the top in your criticism. BUT that is your perogative. I simply beg to differ.

Make that 70 years. I would like to include my namesake as one of the great Number Twos.

I think they are gradually easing Harley into our top 22. Match fitness will improve with another one or two in the reserves and we can have his skills for a longer period of time than his first game with us. But it was confusing that he was selected for the postponed Essendon game and then not selected for the following week. Management they would probably call it.

In a post match interview Clarkson expressed his concern for the serious deterioration of AFL football as a spectacle. He cited the Melbourne V Geelong halftime scoreline of just 2 goals apiece. He said this was not acceptable from TWO TEAMS THAT HE BELIEVES WILL PLAY FINALS THIS YEAR. Obviously he has more faith in our Demons than many of our posters here. Is he speaking as an ex Melbourne player or is his opinion based on true belief in our latent potential? Remember he is an astute and highly respected and successful coach. Your thoughts please.

Bring back Bernie Vince. Just seeing Bernie would give Danger the shivers.( a polite term used here).

Feel really sorry for AVB. He has waited so long to pull on a Melbourne jumper and now this. Hopefully there will be a next week.

Three Melbourne reps in team of the year. Assuming that is Alan Johnson and Brett Lovett. Wow!

Thanks 'Want a Flag'. Don't we all!

Can some kind person tell me who the player is that is on the right of Rod Grinter? Fourth from the left. Face is familiar but I can't put a name to it. Thanks in advance.

Agree all the way Sue. Thats been my thoughts for a while. Even the umpires should be able to count to three. When I was umpiring footy matches at school I used this rule and the game flowed and this was twenty years ago! So simple to Interpret. Very black and white.

Also had the most talented players maybe? Bob McKenzie (snr), Robert Flower, Stephen Tingay and Nathan Jones during my lifetime. Not a bad quartet.

And what a champion player he was. Dasher Williams!

Stinga is my choice in a hard one to decide. Jako was great too.

Sadly, season 2020 is done and dusted. But something to be cheerful about. We only lost ONE game for the whole season! Whereas Collingwood only WON one game for the entire season. Chin up everybody and stay healthy.

Tiger Ridley was also known as Tiddles Jacko - Mark Jackson

You don't seem to like Brown do you? An earlier post would confirm that.There were quite a lot worse than him today.

Kennedy 4 disposals. I reckon that was VERY QUIET not relatively quiet.

No to captaincy if that is the footy he can produce without responsibility. Max is our captain.

Its 31 degrees in Perth at the moment. Easterly blowing with a little bit of cool air now and again. Not too uncomfortable and cooler by the river.

What will clubs do now? Will they continue to train in an extended pre season? At least it gives plenty of time for Harley and Aaron to get fully fit and over their injuries.

I had a more detailed article today but looks like a moderator has deleted it for some reason, I suggested a 10 team VFL competition of 18 rounds with each team playing each other twice one at home and one away. Very fair system and plenty of footy for Victorian fans. Hopefully my original item can be reinstated.

The government is considering the possible ban on interstate travel for sporting teams. What a delightful thought. For this season a VFL competition of the 10 Victorian teams. 18 rounds playing each other twice one home and one away. How fair is that? Bring it on! A Final 4 with finals as they were in the good old days. First V Second Double chance, Third V Fourth loser out. (Semi Finals) Loser of !V2 plays winner of 3V4 (Preliminary Final) Winner of Preliminary Final plays winner of ! v2 semi Final. GRAND FINAL. 3 Finals rounds giving a total of 21 rounds for the season. NB This explanation of finals system is for the very new and younger Demonlanders. Sorry to bore all the older posters. Interstate teams could play each other 5 times in their own state just to give the locals a bit of footy.

WELL DONE LILY MITHEN. Granddad Laurie, Melbourne Champion, must be feeling so proud at the moment. And you should feel ever so proud too. Boys reaction shows their true love of the red and the blue.
