  1. Hopefully our VFL side will be 2022 Premiers! 🏆 Premierships all round for our entire list! 👍
  2. Don’t forget next year it wii be 58 years since we won our last Premiership on the MCG! 🤔
  3. Who was there WJ?
  4. Yes much better to start the year by giving Collingwood a good old fashioned shellacking!
  5. When I was at a government school in the 60s, there were a few guys from school drafted by St Kilda. One went on to Captain-Coach Melbourne F C.
  6. They were both in Daisy’s shadow!
  7. Don’t forget Salem. His already A+ performance goes to another level each year and he was outstanding in the GF.
  8. There is always the possibility of an option that goes under the (elevated) Monash and over the off ramp (which is at ground level). From there, tiered spectator seating could slope down to an expanded Gosch’s Paddock oval. As Kent pointed out, trees can be replaced in greater numbers. None are significant and the area is little used by the public.
  9. Unfair to pick out a top five as it was a superb team effort. Salem played a blinder in the Granny for example!
  10. But an absolute gentleman in his latter years. I was lucky to attend a number of small lunches where he regaled us with his recounts and tales of the times. I hope that he gets to the ton!
  11. The reality is we need back-up depth in all positions in case of injuries. At worst it may result in a VFL Premiership for them if they don’t make the first 23. Players like Baker, Weidman, Tomlinson, Chandler, Jordon, Daw, etc, sitting in the wings and training together is sound planning and will ensure that we have no speed humps next year!
  12. Better taking Essendon at $26 😉
  13. Classic! 👍
  14. Plus 5000+ Perth members! 😉
  15. First 🏆 of 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 in a row!
  16. Previously I held the view that Premiership Medals are due to each of the 23 players who played on our in our Premiership Team. I also put the view that the MFC should strike a special (souvenir) medal to be given to everyone on our Senior List: Jones, Smith, Jetta, Tomlinson, Weidman, etc irrespective of whether they played a senior game and even if they were on the long term injured list. I now feel that should be extended to take in our coaches and Jason Taylor. All have contributed to out achievements this year! 🥇
  17. Simple really. 23 players (only) receive a Premiership Medal. In addition, each of the 40+ senior players players should a Souvenir Medal, designed and struck by MFC. All played a role, whether playing in the Casey Demons, Melbourne Demons or on the long-term injury list. Jones, Smith, Hunt, Weidman, Jetta, Tomlinson, Chandler, etc contributed to the Club’s success.
  18. If the Dogs bounce back against the Power, then we finish top 2. If we beat the Cats, we are minor premiers! Also, with the other two top 4 teams playing Friday night we can rest however we like Saturday night if we are content with 2nd place.
  19. Flick the Kangaroos down to Tassie (as we did with the Swans and Lions)! Stay at eighteen teams. Maybe send the Saints or Hawks to the NT? 😉
  20. I don’t think booing Walker (or any other sportsman for that matter) is helpful. To me booing is another negative aspect of the game that has intensified in recent times but should be nipped in the bud. All booing achieves is setting one section of the crowd against another and risk unsettling players not actually targeted. It is low-key ‘lynch mob’ mentality. We should stick to applauding great moments in a game.
  21. I studied (Architecture) with Max Walker. He was an all-round good bloke.?
  22. I was thinking Buckley.?
  23. Research Rule 1 start off with your ‘Conclusion’ Research Rule 2 make sure that you write a good ‘research question’ to support your ‘Conclusion’ Research Rule 3 assemble roughly 80,000 words of indecipherable tables, surveys, statistics and quotes from the ‘French philosophers’ and insert between your ‘Introduction’ (Research Question) and your ‘Conclusion’! ?‍?
  24. Glad to see that my post finally lured you out! ? You should drop in to say hello more often. ?
  25. Demonland and ‘Melbourne Demons’ are not the same these days! ? Where is Saty and where are all the naysayers calling for Goodwin’s removal? It is as though you cannot post unless you have good news and it gets worse each week. I have to keep pinching myself that it is actually a MFC supporters forum. How about some negativity? It started fine at the beginning of the year with celebrity footy tipsters such as Melbourne Lord Mayor, Sally Capp, picking against her own city, predicting certain losses against GWS and Geelong but now we never start as the underdog and still manage to get across the line. (Adelaide was an apparition.) I am not used to wearing my scarf 7 days a week ?
