Would ya take a punt on Paddy?
Pretty much exactly what I was going to post. Of course a bloke will declare himself ready for a big footy contract. Nope, nope, nope, no way.

Michael Hibberd’s brother missing
Heartbreaking. Lets hope the Hibberd and deSliva families can have people nearby to support them at this horrible time.

Time to cull our highest paid player
You normally come in here to grandstand, but I think this is a solid point that is worth thinking about for the players. I certainly agree about the "parasites" part.

Membership Tally 2020
The people who signed up in March and April are legends. Well done people. Every member is solid gold for the survival of the club. (appreciate that many are losing their jobs and can't afford to continue) Very proud of our supporters.

Obscure Ex-Demons
Great post. Marcus Seecamp was a player who I would love in our side now. Solidly built half-back who would run through a bus crash to defend a team mate. Hard as woodpeckerlips. A 195cm player who measured 185cm in height.

Obscure Ex-Demons
Dead set one of my all time favorite Dees. Gave us fantastic value at C.H.B after crossing from Adelaide. Great judgement of the ball in the air, gutsy as hell, good 1 on 1 but had the prerequisite ordinary kicking foot on him.

Does anyone else remember the dog Daniher destroying Clarks knee after a tackle? Could not believe my eyes, and was sure Daniher would be suspended for it, but of course, no, nothing happened.

"Lally" Bamblett from memory. Could play too.

Letter to MFC - In honour of my late father!
I remember my Dad smacking me over the ear after I sat on his pie during the finals loss to the Eagles at Waverley Park.

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
Just what I needed to lift my spirits. A story about the pain Essendon suffered after being caught cheating with Performance enhancing drugs.

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
I wouldn't hold my breath. They will be in the same position as the AFL in trying to make up for lost time. I'm thinking more along the lines of watch what the AFL does to the smaller clubs re: fixturing/travel etc in order to maximise the games income by favouring the large clubs even more than they do now. The AFL want games in the N.T and this is a perfect excuse to bring them back. Lets wait and see.

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
Imagine what the draw will look like for the next 5 years with the AFL trying to use the fixture to claw back the lost cash. Are we taking bets on more N.T games? This is going to be a long term disaster for the poorer clubs. Starting to think a boutique stadium (redevelopment of Optus etc) might be part of the mix to lower costs of game day operation while maintaining T.V revenue.

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs West Coast
I don't We should have been just as switched on as the Eagles. Only reasonable excuse would be if the Hotel rumour was proven as true, as that would be a physical limitation imposed on the team. Does anyone have any info on that yet?
-
POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs West Coast
I so hope that is wrong, as it would be a terrible indictment of the playing group. The Eagles played in the same game and appeared switched on. It would signal that our entire 2020 campaign was a waste of time if we couldn't get up for a single game but the opposition could.

Afl Players agree to 50% pay deal
Players were being fully paid until games were suspended. Their salary is not just paid during the paying time, so the hit they are taking is nowhere the 50% they would like you to think it is.

Top 10 MFC Indigenous Players
Take your pick of any 3 for the current team and why. Farmer - Freakish scoring power and marking ability. Davey - Invented the manic defensive pressure for small forwards, and loved a goal. Jurrah - Shocking defensively and terrified of physical contact, but an absolute offensive weapon who would benefit from our current bomb it long inside 50s Hard done by. Matty Whelen - yesteryears Nev Jetta. Fantastic small defender who was great 1 on 1 and tough as nails.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Jesse was playing average football in the last months before he left. He needed a huge turnaround if he was going to be the saviour. Poor bastard.

GAMEDAY: Demons vs GWS (2016)
Reckon we would have beaten GWS this week. Actually no way of proving otherwise, so I reckon we would have smashed them. Did anyone else see the TV flogs talking about an 8 round comp? Now THAT would test your emotions about a Grand Final spot.

Afl Players agree to 50% pay deal
Any of our players putting their mitts out for 50% while no games are played had better come back in ripping nick.
