  1. This thread deserves a bump..

    C'mon folks, the captain has re-signed for another three years in the midst of the club's darkest hour.

    His co-captain did a similar thing in 2011.

    With the regular press speculation about how our better players are desperate to leave the club / in the sights of rival clubs, it speaks volumes that our two captains believe the future is bright for the MFC.

  2. Melbourne told us they were going to engage with Casey & develop the area. well the only think I've read about developing the area is entertaining the business people of casey..

    You must have missed the articles about the school visits the players do in the area.. if that's not engaging the potential members of tomorrow then I don't know what is ...

  3. Judging by the comments of his brother, I'd be surprised if Greg Healy is in the running - already has his hands full as a senior executive at Quicksilver.

    What about former MFC board member and television boss Ian Johnson? There may be some antipathy towards him for backing the merger, but he certainly has runs on the board in a cut-throat industry.

  4. Will be there tonight, dusting off the telemarketing skills I learned as a uni student to try and entice a few Dees to re-sign. In those days, if I wasn't meeting target, I'd just ring family members to bump the numbers up. Guess that's not going to cut the mustard tonight.

    I'm presuming we enter through Gate E for a 5.30pm start?

    Robbie was there on Saturday night, and reckons the Demons of days gone by have put in even worse efforts than the one we saw on the weekend.

    Presumably, he was referring to the 190-point belting at the hands of Fitzroy in 1979. Did Flower play that day?

    Also says it's not the time for knee-jerk reactions and supporters need to be patient.

    It's worth pointing out that in 1986, the Dons handed us a 20-goal thrashing... we made the finals just 12 months later.

  6. what happened last night was a cheap shot by the FD to sub him.

    In the passage of play that immediately preceded his subbing (the one on the half-forward flank where he had no-one in the forward line to kick it to), he came away from that hobbling... might have been subbed because of a niggle?
