Huh?? Please, don't be so damn judgmental. Rivers & Frawley are two of the quieter, better performed players in the league and you want to condemn them for having a few too many? Move on

"Burgan should go and do a real piece and ask the AFL HQ some Qs." This is what you said.
-
Yes, because AFL HQ will respond with full clarity and honesty. Maybe you should, where does it state that "Burgan" wrote this?

Cam Bruce # 32 announces retirement from AFL.
Surfer Rosa replied to gsmith12's topic in Melbourne Demons
Thanks for the memories Cam Bruce. Very very good career and a true professional. -
I can't wait for the return of Jordan Gysberts!!

Richmond's Dan Connors and Dustin Martin in trouble
Surfer Rosa replied to GawnWithTheWind's topic in Melbourne Demons
Presser is now at 2pm. -
Well said.

Blease should be in this side. The coach/es have stated in every weekly write up that 'he needs to work on his defensive game'. This would be why is being left out. Not the goal. Happy for him to snag a sausage now and then. Live a little people!! He is the future and we need his speed. Hopefully he will do what is required to work on this. Can't wait to see Gysberts and Blease consistently in this side. When deserved. As for others protesting where players have been put in position (Sellar for example above), it's 2012. You all must listen to Finey go through the team talk like it actually has any relevance.

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 13
Surfer Rosa replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
6. Jones 5. Watts 4. McDonald 3. Clark 2. Rivers 1. Sylvia -
It's Tom McDonald this week. All of a sudden he and Watts look to be the options with the rock that is Frawley. What's happened to Garland and Rivers? Oh wait, that's right they let in 7 goals between them!!!!

Have a nice flight back to Blacktown Tom ...
Surfer Rosa replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well done Neeld in having Jordie absolutely lock the pr!ck down. See ya $cumbag. Enjoy the $ because you've got 10 years in the cellar to come. Is that why you play this game, money over success? The plastic fantastic Giants. Good move. -
Demonland Player of the Year - Round 10

Cam Mooney is just a shiny new voice. As knowledgeable on the game as David Schwarz.

I remember when Brett Ratten spent a year with us. The feedback that came from the players and club was constant and positive. I'm yet to hear any such positivity about Brian Royal. This includes the years at MFC, the final two under Wallace at Richmond (disaster) and one year as a development coach at the Saints in '09. Obviously not much was developed in that time or MFC see much more in him than any other club. (I can't quite remember if we approached him again or the Saints knew one year of him was enough). A glowing playing record, his coaching record doesn't reflect the same. Perhaps not enough substance here for rpfc but good enough for me. I continue to be disappointed that he is our mids coach. Ling would be a fantastic get. Perhaps his plate is well and truly full with TV and business commitments.

Surprised at the Mooney love but it only takes a new voice and people are smitten. But he is only up against back slappers and mates of the media. Terribly covered our game is by the majority of media. Cam Mooney wouldn't have given the time of day to any commentator giving opinion outside of the club while he was playing. Pretty sure his opinion was that they are mostly a waste of time. Now he is one as the bills have to be paid. I don't need his reinforcement to see what is going on at MFC. He is just offering an opinion like the rest if us. What he has said here Mark Neeld and others have already said, where is the difference? Just a new voice making it seem clearer?

Travis Johnstone joins Chelsea Heights
Surfer Rosa replied to fatmanblues's topic in Melbourne Demons
Inate talent? Then the recruiting should be held accountable, not Travis? Gee, he's playing a game at Chelsea and the same olds still can't let go. He's at least a # 1 capable ticket holder in 2010's! Many more at Melbourne have disappointed more than Travis, some still to today and both on and off the field. I'll continue to enjoy some of the memories. Good luck to you # 16. -
Melbourne and the Football World mourn Jimmy Stynes
Surfer Rosa replied to hardtack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Jim, as you did with many, you had a profound effect on my childhood. Following and growing up with the Dees from 85 and enjoying so many great years watching you, in a period I now value so highly as a Demon, 87-91. As sad as today has been, those years came flooding back seeing all the names from that era, Northey, Slug, Greg and Gerard Healy, Barry Richardson, come out to remember you so fondly. I lost my dear mum to this same battle only a year ago and I'm so very lucky to have been influenced by two great people. My thoughts are with Sam and all your family. You're truly a legend. RIP Jim. -
A fine sports journo in this town. Especially at The Age. Much better than okay and ordinary, geez. He's not covering Wall St, he covers AFL and he did/does a great job.

Training - Friday 25 November, 2011
Surfer Rosa replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Dropped in. Sylvia was there briefly but did no work I saw. Many running laps, Grimes, Tapscott, Jetta, Clark after the behind the goals drill. Neil Craig very vocal. Leigh Brown, Rawlings and others very clear in the instruction to get over to your mate and encourage/support. They ran laps at the end. All coaches into Gysberts to go much harder and get past others. -
Phil Scully offered GWS gig in November 2010!
Surfer Rosa replied to bing181's topic in Melbourne Demons
Just returned from the US and have read all the latest. Love AD's comments. What sort of league boss makes such comment? I'm done on this $cully thing and will leave him and his wonderful family with this great tune: The best things in life are free But you can give them to the birds and bees I want money (That's what I want) That's what I want (That's what I want) That's what I want (That's what I want) That's what I want (That's what I want) You love gives me such a thrill But your love won't pay my bills I want money That's what I want (That's what I want) Money don't get everything it's true But what it don't get I can't use I want money That's what I want (That's what I want) I want money I want lots of money In fact I want so much money Give me your money Just give me money -
