1. Your premise is false.

2. Really? You must be magnificently bored ... It would be more exciting to watch Biff entertaining the lads ... :):blink:

Hoping for a miracle, an ice breaker, a 3rd party, .... something..

Off topic.....

Any 'Back to The Future' watchers and/or history buffs?

Chicago Cubs - 107 yrs since having won the world series. In the movie, one of the characters got hold of a Sports Almanac, went back to the past and loaded up on the Cubs when it got to 2015 - knowing that they'd won as a 200-1 shot.

In real life now - 2015 - the Cubs have now made their divisional final and aren't all that far from the World Series.

Thought I'd share.

You can all have that 1 minute back now.......#tradeweekboredom

Or split personality

Is it Christian Doppler?

Apparently I have an assistant.

Cheers. Plenty of countdowns on this thread.

Just thought I'd re-visit the first several pages of this thread. Below is the post that started the banana talk. Much better prices nowadays. Think making a smoothie now will kill some trade time and satisfy the tastebuds: -

Pods and some other senior player are 50/50 for this week. Pods could be rested and out for Mooney.

What's with banana's at $14.00 P/kg these days ? Don't tell me the carbon tax is up and running already....

No Banana but REAL bagel, cream cheese and Coffee.

Excellent way to start Caulfield cup day

I am off for breakfast with Mrs. Redleg. Nice banana smoothie is already in my thoughts.

Interesting experience yesterday I am keen basket ball follower and for many years I was a Tigers member.

When the Tigers became Melbourne United I lost a lot of interest in the NBL.

So after good results in the pre season competition and two from two wins in the season proper I decided to go last night.

The United won again and even at this stage look to be good chances to go all the way this season.

It was a good game but I found myself an on looker rather than being involved with the team.

I was purely an observer.

I just cannot get involved the way i used with the Tigers.

There is talk of the TIGERS returning in a few seasons time, that looks a pipe dream to me.

Also I am not sure how you barrack for the "United" !

I drove home thinking this game confirmed why I still follow AFL

My team is still there. If the Dees were to fold I would be an observer of AFL.

PS there was a very good crowd which just shows people will follow winnners even when they they have no history, have a god awful strip and no emblem as such.

People like to win. They also don't enjoy losing a whole lot, but i suppose you can be philosophical about it ( or just resigned lol )

I like to win, to revel in the euphoria. Might even happen with the Dees, but I'm philosophical :rolleyes:

Speaking of winning.

The trifecta will be from 2,10,17 and 6 .

Believe me,the punt has made me the man I am today.

So much anger on the Trade Board. Obviously banana deprivation.

Yeah too many monkeys and not enough bananas ... How was the smoothie?

I am with you on that one, OD. I can;t get into the United, no matter how many games they win. The Melbourne Tigers were a real club, with history, feeder programs, good links between layers (like NBL players coaching juniors), and all that goes with it. United? Sounds like a synthetic bunch with no appeal for me.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
