The Hallowed Turf

Thanks mate. Look forward to it. Finished 253rd last year so I'm back with a vengeance!!

Would like to have a go again. I didn't participate last year or I don't think the year before (?) in the Demonland SC comp but have done previously. Team name is Megalomaniacs. Thanks.

Hey DeeVoted. Keen to go again. Team name last year was Megalomaniacs. Thanks

I must admit the first thing I looked for was where he had placed any (playing) Bombers players. I was surprised to not see any there. Thought he might have snuck a Goddard or Daniher in there somewhere.

Going through the 2016 AFL Prospectus. At the same age Ollie Wines is averaging more contested possessions than Fyfe, Judd, Selwood and Pendles at the the same age! What an amazing stat. Let it sink in. Yes I'm still shitty. What could have been. And to everyone that tells me "move on" - get stuffed.

Like getting Danger, another Selwood, Henderson, Zac Smith wasn't enough. Not their fault I know but it puts a cherry on top for their top 4 aspirations. Frustrates me

Hi Deevoted. Beast Mode here. Count me in again. I will have a different team name but will advise you when I think of one. Thanks for organising this.

You can accept training and in game injuries. They happen. But these sorts of injuries are inexcusable quite frankly. Roos has every right to be shitty.

We need Dom Tyson to get back to his 2014 form. I am referencing the club website here but he finished 2nd in our B&F and polled 11 Brownlow votes (3 times three votes in a losing side) in 2014. It's fair to say he stagnated last season but he has got the the talent. I am tipping a marked improvement in 2016.

Jack Watts has had more than enough opportunities to prove his worth to Melbourne FC. Unfortunately due to our dismal situation this past decade he has been given games where, if he was in a stronger team those opportunities would not have been there. He is a soft footballer and I have NEVER seen that mongrel instinct that other players have and surely 2016 is his make or break year. I actually wish he was offloaded last year but he wasn't so I will support him, but I have zero confidence in him finding that desperation required to become the footballer many thought he would be.

Thx for the pics Six6Six. Awesome. It's especially helpful for us country or interstate guys that can't get to Melbourne to see them training in the flesh.

NO

Where are you located Gorgoroth? I'm in Ballarat and got mine yesterday.

Damn, we picked the wrong whippets.

Is it just me or does Parish have that Scully, Gysberts, Toumpas build that cost us so badly a few years ago when recruiting whippets was the way of the future. We all know how that panned out.

The woman that runs the Supercoach website "Supercoach Paige" is a massive Collingwood fan. I follow her on Twitter and I remember last season her tweeting every time Ben Kennedy was sub how annoyed she was as she thought he was an absolute gun and that Buckley wasn't giving him a go. I really feel that Roos/Goodwin are going to get the best out him and we will end up a great pick up for us.

I like the logo like but I can't help think we needed some sort of demon art somewhere there. Just some mean ass devil that means business. Still, pretty happy with the new one and hopefully it represents a new successful era for us.

And to think they traded Jacobs to Adelaide and brought in Warnock. Wow that's a stuff up of Melbourne FC proportions.

Yeah stuff it. Let's have a challenge. First 5 rounds - Hawks, WC in Perth, Sydney in Sydney, Freo in Perth and Port Adelaide in Adelaide. 5 from 5 right there. C'mon AFL. Give us a fixture to test us. None of this playing aginst bottom 8 teams early on rubbish.

Bloody hope so.

I would love for players to come out and explain their reasons for choosing which clubs they choose and why BEFORE they are traded. A bit of honesty for the supporters wouldn't go astray. I'm sick of the player manager's trotting out the usual crap as to why their client should and would be traded to their club of choice. No-one except the player, manager and clubs really know. It might help supporters understand reasons why their "idols" want to up and leave.

Is this the Oxley that carved us up Queens birthday? I agree with your assessment of De Goey but Williams DID have issues which seem to be in the past. Rated above average in the Prospectus. Yeah you haven't convinced me on Maynard at all.

Can someone please enlighten me on all the love for Brayden Maynard on here??? What has he done that makes everyone want him to come and play for us? I will admit I don't know a whole lot about him but I would have thought Collingwood have others that make as much appeal. De Goey, Oxley, Marley Williams?

I found it astonishing that Richmond chose to use Dustin Martin as Bennell's chauffer around Punt Rd. Dusty off all players!!! Maybe it was Richmond's way of saying that we can get flogs on the straight and and narrow and you, Harley are an unreliable (but talented) [censored] so we think we can get you focussed only on footy. Then they both go out until 5am. Ha ha. Alas, Richmond have woken up to themselves. So glad we never really looked at this guy.

It's OK. Wayne Campbell will brush it off. He will tow the AFL line of denial and claim the umps were great and all the frees were there.
