I know this is from all the way back to 2014 but my oh my Harley can play. Big if’s but if we get him and if he is injury free at 27 yo he could still be in his prime. It is sort of like buying a lotto ticket, it is nice to dream

In other fixture news: ■ Melbourne will head interstate for the first game of the season. ■ North Melbourne was slated to take on St Kilda their Round 1 game. ■ Geelong will be taking their handbags ..... it is a weird stat that we haven’t played interstate since 1998. Hasn’t helped us and can’t begrudge an away game to start the year

Agree with you Lucifer that this looks like a good football draw for us. We play 3 out of the four expansion teams but only 1 of the three top teams from conference A last year. And we aren’t scheduled to play Adelaide, well, till finals anyway. Also there is some new player called Daisy who should be a handy addition for us, Birch will be a top 5 player and Pearce just won the Brownlow of the VFLW. Fingers crossed the domino’s will fall our way next year. PS. Does O’dea remain Captain or was she just holding onto it for the year?

I won’t say how I know but Daff’s departure had way more to do with the arrival at the end of 2011 of a certain Assistant Collingwood coach with a twitchy eye problem and the MFC’s board who blindly backed him.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-03/ive-grown-as-a-person-prospect-finds-positives-after-knee-reco Sounds like another Club will take a chance on him before he gets to our pick 97

Nothing story but it is the off-season So I went to see Zombieland 2 (7.5/10) at the Smithfield Cinema north of Cairns last week. Shopping in Woolies afterwards and the bloke walking past me In aisle 3 looks like the co-captain of the MFC. He was out of context so I don’t pay much attention but he bobs up again in aisle 5 and I have a better look and he is a dead ringer for Jack but he looks a bit too much like he has been in the top paddock for an AFL footballer (they always look slighter and skinnier than what you expect). Turns out it was him and I’m glad I didn’t know or I may have started talking football to him and then I would have been embarrassed to hassle him on his holidays.

If he wants to play in the same side as Max he had better get a tank and be consistent taking marks In the forward line. He needs to make defenders fear his abilities in the air otherwise they will just continually run off him. If he can do these two things he will be more than useful. Unfortunately being humongous Isn’t enough on its own

Would take that in a heart beat.

I voted split. The higher 1st rounder is reserved for injured, 192cm key position turned mid Kemp, the next Bont The 2nd first rounder is for best available.

Tayla Harris 61.5m. Wow!

Oh thanks, I haven’t been around for a bit.

What was the ultimatum Binman?

I was telling one of my kids that when I was a kid in the 70’s the ‘outflow’ from the urinals at Victoria Park used to run out onto the street and then down the drain. My question to anyone old enough is did this actually happen or have I made this up in my head? It seems so far away from football conditions today (And sorry I didn’t know where else to ask this question)

Debuting a kid just before seasons end is pretty standard procedure isn’t it? Kade will go into the next pre-season knowing exactly how hard AFL players run and what is expected. It will be a handy eye opener for him. It is about next year and how he performs tomorrow night is pretty much irrelevant

I agree Gawn is the obvious and probably only choice I think he would thrive on the extra responsibility of being leader. He has the personality that would embrace being captain. Could send him to a new level as a player too

He is his fathers son even down to the run up. Come to Melbourne Kobe

That’s why I love Demonland. From the very, very outside looking in Richo doesn’t look particularly impressive to me. Brilliant that you played under the bloke and can give some insight into how he is actually regarded. You have changed my opinion of him. Thanks

He stopped us probably getting a goal and cost us a goal. I’m hoping he won’t stand up for his team mates again

Admit it. You are still secretly thinking we may win the last ten and play finals. Makes two of us

Fair enough but for a bloke with 16,000+ posts who is obviously a passionate supporter of the club you have also missed the various articles over time on her on the club website and not listened to any of the podcasts. She has also been on the tv footy shows and there has been articles on her in the mainstream media. She ain’t Patrick Dangerfield but the guys on here claiming ‘no idea’ must really go out of their way to avoid any AFLW news even that of your own club.

GONE!!

Apparently Jake Spencer was Todds assistant

You want Hird to come to our Club? I propose a Demonland life ban for you

MCC expecting a crowd of 34,000. Even though it is going to be a bugger to get there from the Eastern suburbs with the lack of trains you’d think it would get to 40,000 I’ll be there with ten other Melbourne supporting family members.

Well he has ticked off that hurdle. If he gets back to his best we will be a far better side. God I hope he is hungry for it
