5-3 and back to the G to play the super confident Blues, hopefully without their main tagger and umpire toucher Ed Curnow.

The worry is that we will be hot favourites.

Plus Melbourne does not do four wins in a row.

The GODS have still not forgiven us for 1965.

Big game this week. We have tended to play poorly against them for a few years even though they have been down the ladder.

We need to play at our best all game and drive them into our turf.

I don"t need to read this Frog.

With our recent wins, I was just emerging from my MFC induced depression to some semblance of balanced mood state. 

I was even planning to go on Sunday, with a feeling of quite optimism tempered by the ever present trepidation.

However,""there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.""

Red, apart from your good self and a few other stalwarts, the posts on this thread seem to have dropped off lately. 

Many of the old characters with their peccadillo's seemed to have disappeared into the ether, with the result that the only thing to talk about is football.

What's happened to all the chameleons, the perverts, the eccentrics, the boasters, the liars, the weirdos, the freaks, the nuts, the sad and lonely, the non conformists, the entrepreneurs, the drug peddlers, the pretenders, the psychotic, the delusional, the washed-up lawyers and academics and writers, the homeless, and the bizarre characters that used to come and go in the night on this thread. 

I think I have covered everyone. Oops, I forgot the dead. 

After 7 years, perhaps its time to close this thread.

Let's face it, this is not a thread for mundane, boring or repetitious comments about football.

Well, we will see if your suggestion brings the motley crew of characters back to life again and reinvigorates their posting.

I think the razing of that salubrious gentlemen's retreat upon Fitzroy St has rattled some far deeper than originally anticipated.

Ernest I am sorry I have been absent from this thread for some time but I have had other more pressing priorities such as a certain wedding this week! Do you think I have time for the minor tribulations of the underlings of this thread, BBO, Biffen, Moons and DC come to mind, when I have to deal with the real issues of readying myself for the Royal Wedding this Saturday. Priorities my man!

Well DC let’s just say I have been approached about certain matters to do with the ceremony, me of course being well regarded in important circles, beyond reproach and of a respectable age, but let’s keep it at that for the moment lest the gutter press get hold of anything and do their damnest!

Milo,  the entrepreneur that you are, I had forgotten about your role in The Wedding. Of course, the old Country and indeed the Royals do not have the budget they once had, which is where you no doubt fit in.  A quick visit to China, a lick of paint, and I'm sure the imitations look like the real thing!

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
