    Does anyone know if three father-sons in one team is a record?

    The coaches like Clarry too. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-03-27/aflca-votes-round-one

    I think it was WJ who earlier this year posted an article on another group who predicted who would go up the ladder and who down. Apparently they predicted the rise of the Bulldogs a couple of years ago. Whatever the system was could be used for any sport. Their two improvers this season were the Tigers and Us. And the team most likely to fall was ......Collingwood. I did like that article.

    Yep I reckon the less media attention that Jesse gets the more he will like it. No more $15m dollar man and being touted the best forward in a generation. I'm guessing the lower his profile and the more attention some equally talented team mates get the happier he will be plying his trade. He will always attract a certain amount of media being an insanely talented, contested marking prodigal freak but think he is content to fly under the radar as much as possible

    Hopefully our AFLW team has broadened our membership base Old Dee. Perhaps worth 500-1,000 new fresh air members?

    With Garland, Frost, Smith and Hibberd available O Mac is certain to play

    Was speaking to two fellow passionate, lifetime Melbourne supporters last night. We all agreed that we should keep the lid on so we are talking finals but not premierships yet

    The Anzac Eve game V the Tigers is turning into a good rivalry. Think it can only get bigger over time.

    True but I would have Tom Lynch at the top of both my draft now and current best lists

    It can't be easy for Freo. Playing away from home on an unfamiliar ground, the crowd is against them, they have nothing to play for and they have lost their best player and captain. Hopefully they will do the right thing and fold

    Just seen the Swans have locked Callum Mills up till the end of 2023, seven seasons away. They have a history of long contracts with Buddy on a ten year on and Heeney I think till 2021(?). Personally I think anything over a four year contract is too much of a gamble but then I wouldn't mind if the MFC put a long term in front of Clayton. It is difficult not to see him playing 200+ games

    I am as tragically rusted on MFC member as you can get and will always remain grateful that others can't see how much time I waste thinking about all things Melbourne. Unfortunately the club don't know that the only reason that I won't renew is because I have passed on (and like my father I hope to have my ashes scattered at CHF, scoreboard end) so Josh rang last night to see if I was going to sign up as I haven't gotten around to it yet.
  13. FarNorthernD
    Yes Josh Wagner
  14. FarNorthernD
    Yes I do the same mainly as I was hoping for Parish to be a complete bust just because he was drafted by Essendon. Unfortunately he has been very, very good particularly for a small skinny young mid.

    Good attitude. If we lose you won't be overly disappointed but if we win you'll be the the happiest, stokest man on Demonland.

    Crap we are getting right royally rogered by the umps here

    Like many here I really can't see any sense in playing both Gawn and Spencer against the Saints on Etihad. The problem is that we have gone with this combination for all our practice matches. If we were to leave Spence out we would be going with a new second ruck and a different forward set up. As Goodwin doesn't strike me as a leave it to chance sort of bloke I'm assuming that we will roll the dice and play both big guys. It is a bit like last year when the only people who didn't know that Frost wasn't a forward were the blokes who made the decision to play him there. Either way we are going to be left with a relatively unpracticed combination or one unsuited to the St.Kilda at Etihad.

    Disposal could be better If everyone was 5% better we win Best part was no injuries Bring on Rnd 1!!!
  19. FarNorthernD
    Saty, Do you know what's up with Frost and if he is any chance for Rnd 1?
  20. FarNorthernD
    Ok so I may have a slight anti Essendon bias but since their 2012 on the gear year, where they came 11th, after forgetfully leaving all their soft tissues in the off side injecting facility they have come 2013 9th 2014 7th and the most recent year with a full AFL list 2015 15th Since then they have added a couple of promising young kids and a few average extras. They will now get back a bunch of senior players who, at best, will be unlikely to surpass their 2015 year. Im happy that a few have them in the 8 as this will raise expectations and cause further disillusionment when they fail miserably Second last (17th) if they are lucky.

    18. Pretty much the only good record Melbourne still holds
  22. FarNorthernD
    That is because we beat them and subliminally we all think if we can beat them then they must be pretty bloody average. It also explains why no-one on here rates Richmond

    Yes it was the day my girlfriend at the time changed from her families team (Collingwood) to become a Dee. We married the next year.

    Off topic I know but now that Essendon have axed general admission tickets to their Anzac day match and increased reserved seating prices by 50% I am so hoping that our Anzac eve match draws a bigger crowd.
