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.

Jazza, that is the problem with the MFC and some of its supporters. They need to hard up!

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.

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
