  1. 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.
  2. Tayla Harris 61.5m. Wow!
  3. Oh thanks, I haven’t been around for a bit.
  4. What was the ultimatum Binman?
  5. 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)
  6. 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
  7. 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
  10. 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
  11. Admit it. You are still secretly thinking we may win the last ten and play finals. Makes two of us
  12. 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.
  13. GONE!!
  14. Apparently Jake Spencer was Todds assistant
  15. You want Hird to come to our Club? I propose a Demonland life ban for you
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. Ah that’s better, can get back on Demonland again
  19. I don’t know about trust but I do have the definitive answer on an age old question. After sticking with this team through decade of darkest of times, from laughing stock -> VFL standard -> middle tier -> contender and then back to a (sad) laughing stock in the course of a few games, and most recently to the side I despise above all (with an unhealthy passion) proves, once an for all, there is no god!
  20. If we lose tonight (to the team I despise over all others) it will just confirm my theory that supporting Melbourne is like having a child who constantly disappoints. Yes there are occasional moments of pride and joy but life with him is generally full of let downs and frustrations. Promises to try harder are followed by excuses and failure. He (sort of) got caught cheating a few years ago and now an older, drunk friend of one of his school mates, who has a big mouth, is bringing it all up again. My kid has never topped his class and although he buckled down and did his best last year, he is back to form this semester. Id like to kick him out but, for some reason, I still love him dearly......
  21. Harmes is 186cm as is Lewis, Hunt is 187cm. Our problem wasn’t we were too small, our problem is we played crap.
  22. And same for me. Sh!ts me to tears
  23. Yep that’s my theory too. Our game plan only really works with 95% effort from everyone. Contested footy. It falls apart with the 75% effort brought in the JLT matches. As long as we step up, it may be ugly, but we will win
  24. Sounds fair and reasonable
  25. And you can add Steven May (Melbourne Grammar), Cyril Rioli (Scotch), Chris Judd (Caulfield) and Jack Viney (Prince Alfred College/Carey) to those with a ‘private school mentality’. It’s such a lame stereotype isn’t it
