3 things i fell out of love with this season...


Jerry Lundergard

Recommended Posts

1. Channel 7's appalling coverage of the footy. Ten is only slightly better, but 7's is just ridiculous. Honestly, why would you finish your coverage without an interview or seeing the team singing the song when the entire thing is about 3 hours delayed anyway. Infuriating.

2. Sunday games. In principal I don't mind these so much as they're normally quieter days. But we have a solid crew going to the footy these days so inevitably I consume way too much beer and end up struggling out of bed for work on Monday. Fair enough this is all entirely my fault but none the less...

3. Players going backwards - Cale Morton, Matty Bate, I'm looking at you. Aren't players supposed to develop as they get older and more experienced, not regress?

Indeed. Especially with kids in tow and school the next day.

My boys are 2 and 1 HT. Only have the 2 year old, occasionally the 1 year old with mum, come to Casey games at the moment to get them involved.

My 2 year old calls every football team the Demons at the moment, which might be nice on GF day as I can use his mind altering tricks to convince myself I am watching Melbourne.

Can't wait to take the 2 year old to the 'G next year if he is up for it, well he wont have much choice but to be up for it, but not looking forward to them falling in love with donut vans before the Dees!!

1. People who slam Cale Morton, for his year. Remember Adam Goodes the year he did his PCL... he was only servicable. Had a full pre-season the next year and came back a superstar. Give Cale a full pre-season and he'll become elite.

2. Players being allowed to throw or drop the ball provided it was an attempted disposal..... the holding the ball rule is a joke.

3. Our first quarters

1. Foul-mouthed supporters - Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? You are spoiling it for the rest of us (Yes - YOU)!!!

2. Getting on the Melbourne bandwagon only when we're playing well - We expect our beloved players to be loyal servants that espouse the ideals on which this great club was built and the same should go for supporters! Fair-weather fans go elsewhere...

3. The off-season - 5 days in and I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the long, hard work week without the footy to look forward to on the weekend! I know our boys need some hard-earned rest (especially with all the niggling injuries) but bring on 2011 already!!! :)

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
