That's the trouble with playing in Canberra, as soon as you're ahead for 51%, you think you're set for the next three years.

OD my prediction of the MFC finishing 17th on the ladder is again looking fairly safe again.

Pool cue appears to be alreading back in the rack for the 2015 season.


This thread needs more pictures.

That way BBO and Biff can understand whats going on.

That might be a problem for you and Jizza, Fl og but I do OK. (So does dc but that's thanks to Biffen and his drugs)

No3 knitting needle does the trick.

Any chance of lifting the standards of this thread a little?

What's the latest on banana prices, wasps in the vineyards, almond milk smoothies, single malts, heathcote shiraz etc?

Anything but discussion about our round 2 debacle.

Can't add much.

Visited the nations capital, not much wasp activity witnessed.

Enjoyed some great company and wines from a wide variety of areas. Most were aged and encouraged reflection on the pst.

That's both the company and the wines.

Unfortunately the reality of the present intruded as the current,playing group, which promised so much, continued the playing patterns of the immediate past to deliver a result, made more humiliating by the presence of 2 former Carlton supporters equipped with Giants regalia, who sang the Giants looney toons theme song after every goal, interrupted only by weary questions of, "where have the demons supporters gone" "can't hear you" etc.

It was embarrassing for us, but even worse for the new generation of a 4generation supporting family in front of us.

There was certainly no joy, no encouragement and no respect for us.

Our limited response was restricted to a comment that the humorous commentary of these increasingly more euphoric supporters was similar to Abbott and Costello...........(the politicians not the comedians), and the hope that their support will have as much disappointment and pain as has been inflicted on demon supporters for so long.

Unless you were there it is hard to convey the impact that this game inflicted.

Expect greater discussion of non football related matters until our players understand the significance of their action.

I may be able to comment on football threads but it will unfortunately be more negative than my sig name conveys. I will try not to wallow in misery and may need your assistance as I continue to enjoy your personal revelations and wit.

The new batteries for my hedger cutter work well on the week end.

Wife said I looked depressed on Saturday afternoon, not sure why.

There are so few bananas in the shops these days.

Have been some attempts to fiddle with this thread, either name changes, or closing it down. Once again evil has been defeated by good and we go on unchanged, to fight the good fight for the weak and downtrodden.

Oh that is us anyway.

Just under one pound per pound, jazza ... this newfangled decimal currency and darned metric system can be so off-putting ... :blink::blink:

Same thought was crossing my mind.

Why did they change it in the first place?

Not when froggy,but WHY???

Edited by jazza

A pound is old fashioned cuŕrancy. From back in the days when the MFC actually won games?

Same thought was crossing my mind.

Just to annoy you, jazza, and it seems to have been quite a success ... :)

Maybe if the season was only 1 game long the MFC could have ended 2015 in the top four.

Another missed opportunity because of the AFL's greed.

We probably didn't request a 1 game season, due to our results over the last 10 years in the first round.

True but until this year it would not have mattered either way.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
