Robot Devil

I'm wondering if Judd has been sucked in by all the glory heaped on him in the media.

It almost seems to resemble a doctor with a God complex, in that only Judd can have/get the footy and that he alone controls the terms and outcome of the contest.

However he seems to have an urge to achieve that goal in a brutal manner and is unable to resist at the expense of all reasonable thought.

He has done some incredibly bizarre things, with many of the victims in a prone position unable to protect themselves, and it may be that these incidents become more frequent if the pressure to deliver for Carlton increases.

Would this end up like Woewodin where we were partially paying him to play at Collingwood?

No thanks.

Haha I actually had to think about that to remember what they changed it to.

Bring back the giant train mural!!!

It's at Docklands just behind Spencer St station

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still refers to Spencer Street Station by it's proper name.

Anyone else imagining Fev screaming "Chicken Wings" at the Brownlow this year?

We used leading teams in '08 did we not?

I think he was referring to leading teams in general, not Leading Teams™

I'm in as a Life Member.

36 years supporting the Demons. Happy to help keep the heartbeat here.

SLEEPERS by The Oracle

The main thrust of any Demon fightback was effectively stilled by the comedy of errors that ended with a video review that disallowed what appeared to be a flaky goal off the boot of James Magner. It started when Magner intercepted a mark that appeared headed for the safe hands of Jared Rivers. The shot was taken from only 35 metres out but it disappeared into a crowd of players with legs and arms apparently flailing around an untouched ball. The goal umpire looked ready to pay the goal but then every official on the ground had a say and it went to the video review which was said to have proved inconclusive. A goal to Melbourne would have meant it was game on but it was not to be.

So why were Gold Coast just given a goal after a video review couldn't show if it was touched?

We get screwed by the umpires yet again.

From the MFC website:

The Demons did not score in the opening 26 minutes as the Tigers took hold of the game early.

In that period Melbourne's players did not follow the plan set out for them during the week and could not withstand the early Richmond onslaught.

Says it all really.

crowd puller, maybe the bugle boy could just do a strip & streak his way off the arena. That IMO would draw Wild applause, after he's finished.

Good point.. which raises another question.

Just about every game in Melboune this week had a pitch invasion except for our game today. Perhaps the trumpeter needs to knock it up a notch.

Hmmn, A Class act in they're day.

Judith Durham,,, hmmn.

Perhaps the Seekers featuring MFC Trumpeter is a possibility at our next pre-match?

That's gotta be a crowd puller.

Hmmn, well, that didn't last long did it.

And coincidentally Bruce Woodley (of the Seekers) had an excellent footballer as a son who was a keen Melbourne supporter if I recall correctly.

Next stop,,, 9thMond!!!

Sadly they've been bumped down to 10th now with the Saints winning.

Oh well... they can shoot for ninth next week.

It is also why Martin gets smothered so often becuase he is so slow to think, incredible for such an intelligent person.

But there would be a big difference between book smarts and footy smarts.

I'm sure the Channel 7 commentary team featuring Luke "Captain Obvious" Darcy could crap on about that for a while.

Simon Buckley is getting a game with the Filth reasonably regularly. Not setting the world on fire, but they are developing him. Looks much fitter and more confident than when with us.

At the moment, we couldn't even develop a bad case of jock itch.

Although his horrible turnover last night shows he would still get a game with us.

A new release to the cinemas is : The Three Stooges

we can go 19 better than that....we call them the Demons !!

Do you think if they replayed our matches at 4x speed and played some Benny Hill music we could make some money off DVD sales?

Had to laugh at the Richmond banner: "For tomorrow's headlines we can't wait. Tigers are in the eight"

I got a brief lift on the train home when I saw they were ninth, where they will hopefully remain.

With the awful year we are having please excuse my schadenfreude.

What odds Eddie will "declare war on the MRP" if he gets 4 or more.

He'll have their jobs he will.

Read my mind TSFKA

Collingwood player?

He'll get 3 with a discount to 2 for pleading guilty.

Something like...

"how much does yous c$&@s reckon weel win ar chwelf in a row by dis week?"

Sadly, I wouldn't mind if we had those conversations.

I dream of having those conversations.

One day.... one day.

Of course the standard of discourse will be much higher. I just read a post in another thread here using "et al" to describe multiple people!

Be grateful... imagine what the standard of conversation is like on the Collingwood forum.

naitanui would fumble his way through all of the dance but do one passage where everyone goes WOW, then the judges will all rave about how good he is because he has different hair and brings a bigger crowd to dancing. this needs a thread.

Naitanui would try and do the whole dance by himself as his partner runs along behind.

He would only score one point.

Bruce Macavaney would declare it the point of the century, thus making him DWTS champion.

Im sick of looking forward to draft picks.

Cant wait for the day i just go to the footy and know my team has a chance to win every week again.

Its been a long hard 6 years for every demon fan.Its time for the MFC to do something for its loyal fans.

just bloody start winning Melbourne

This. Well said. I hope one year from now will tell the tale.

Ummm, Lions got the loose ball and advantage was paid - no real penalty IMO

Then it should have been a free to Melbourne for being ridden into the ground after disposing of the footy.

I woud imagine Daniel Rich's elbow in the back of your head would be considered high contact.
