another exciting trade day

if the afl have any brains they will extend trade period to 3 weeks and start a trade tv channel in full hd

1. Your premise is false.

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

    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

    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....

    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:

    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.

    Perhaps that explains why my financial status (and social status) plummets whenever I visit the Gat.

    • 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.
