A gentleman never tells Moon.

But they were advertised as something else.

A not so wise Asian lady once told me to be careful over there.

" They'll show you a pig and sell you a dog" 

I"Ve bought a few of each I suppose so it evens out.

Had lunch with Biffen today. It's apparently good for the soul to mix with people from the more dubious social strata.

Anyway Biffen chose the location and again it was a dingy little inn in some god forsaken backwater. Well the food!!

It came either drowned in tomato sauce or needed to be, to mask the underlying "taste"

Biffen, to demonstrate the sophistication gained from his recent Asian jaunt, created a scene. He demanded sweet chilli sauce Not only that but it had to be "Kan tong" or some such because that is "orthentic"

FMD ! How humiliating!

I thought it was unnecessary giving someone from Romsey a knife and fork but I was proud of the way you muddled through and tied not to make a mess.

If your hygiene continues to show improvement we may be able to take you somewhere civilised people eat and drink,as long as you promise to keep the food in your area.

Alrhough most of your lunch ended up in your overalls,you at least managed not to sexually harass the staff.

I think the Smith Curse is still with us. 

Has any other club lost their most important player? Does any other club have the injury list we have? We lose a game we dominate with poor kicking while the other side can't miss. Similar the next week where we lose by a couple of points after leading with 2 minutes to go and gifting the last goal. Our players get the heaviest suspensions which cost one or both games lost. Ollie continues to dominate. Our so called stars are not starring. Injured players play against us and dominate. Gus injured again.

Etc.

Ok, but I am partial to those brown crackers with the raisins/sultanas. Also no Brazil nuts as not my taste.

What is this football related rant doing on this thread? Where are the moderators? 

However it is a fair comment, but my reply is we have reverted to our normal state over the past 20 years. Last year was an anomaly for so few injuries, our norm for as long as I can remember is 10 to 12 on the injury list with 4 or 5 of those being in the best 24. That is our lot I am afraid, unlike the Dorks, the Cats over the past 10 years. 

Life often throws up a curve ball...

flies a bit like a banana.,..

Peel with it !

I take it back Red. You have a good point.

Sounds a bit like doggies last year.

They kept plugging away got stronger and found a way to win.

We had so many good players but they were exhausted in the last, fumbles, lack of run poor decisions.

some of the poorer performers need to have a good hard look and lift or go back to Casey. Hogan perhaps performs better around the ground where he certainly creates a contest.While he is great one on one he can't match double and triple teams

Pedo Bugg Trengove all have experience at AFL level and could step in and up.

i reckon Jack Watts is showing his class, others should lift just through his presence.

We just have to look really hard at the Dons and beat them next week.

Well, the Smith curse bit might be right. Joel Smith gets a serious injury 15 minutes into his AFL debut, and Tim Smith gets a bad knee 1.5 matches into his career. All we need now is a banana shortage, and we can conclude we are cursed ... :)

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
