Demonised

Many young players look uncertain because they're still learning to blend their natural game with the coach's instructions/game plan. Takes a long time, because they can't just go on pure instinct any more.

Saw a three-eyed crow this morning. It croaked: 'Dees by 32 points'.

I don't want reality. I want the Melbourne dream.

When the moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars.This is the dawning of the age of the MFC,Age of the MFCMFCMFC. Dees by 17 points.

Well, the QB game is their Grand Final, after all.

Hurstbridge line train was full of MFC supporters on Saturday ...

We got in front and we stayed in front. I'm not used to this strange game pattern.

You cannot step into the same river twice. You are not the same man, nor is it the same river. Therefore, Dees by 22 points.

Three Jacks coming into the team, good. Our Jack quotient has been down for a while, and that's been a problem.

I thought I was the only one who remembered Green Ghost!

Looking closely at the two sides, an anagram of Adelaide Crows is 'Caseload Weird' - real backline issues at crowland? - while an anagram for 'Melbourne Demons' is 'Norsemen mould be' which obviously points to our Viking berserker approach to the game. Plainly, this all suggests a Dees win by 13 points.

'Arise, Sir Neville.'

How'd we win that?

The cards are unsettled today, my friends. The minor arcana hint at difficulties with opposing forces, and the revealing of the Chariot was perplexing, to say the least. The adjacency of the Hanged Man and The World could suggest a fast, open game but, then again, when The Magician appeared, could it imply a slog, with too many defensive roles for an attractive game. Dees by 13 points.

Nope, he flew there and back. And his arms weren't even tired.
