Well 2019 has closed and we are once again looking up from the bottom. Having got that negativity out of the road I am staggered at the amount of poor / pointless rubbish on Demonland at present. We have thread after thread of negative crap the majority of which has little if any grounding in fact. I feel this thread will once again be the only one worth reading.

Bananas are good at the moment, just had a banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch.

    Though that LBW appeal by Lyon in the dying stages was as plum as they get

    It was and only MFC type luck, they used the last review on a certain failure. Captain admitted Cummings told him not to review, as it was a certain not out. 

    And Lyon misses a stumping he wouldn't have missed since he was in kinder, with Leach half way down the pitch, trying to get back.

    I'm not a big fan of the 2 reviews each per innings. If it's a howler, it should be corrected, regardless. And don't get me started about how the umpires stupidity won the one day World Cup for England.

    But yes, we had many chances. I like Tim Paine, but his lack of experience shows.

    BBO assured me we couldn't possibly lose at start of play yesterday...

    He is a drunk, what would he know? He should stick to self flagellation in his dungeon at the Manor.

    I hope the injuries don't affect our game next week.

    Who are we playing in our first final?

    I have worked long and hard to reach the peak of this honourable profession Red - I would appreciate you not commenting on it in a disparaging manner.

    As to your vulgar suggestion as to how I should spend my (not drinking) time. I'll have you know that it is the maid who benefits from my considerable flagellating skills!

    I am so disillusioned with footy and our season, I have already stopped taping the 2 sunday morning footy shows.

    Still taping the rest during the week, in the hope there is a good trade rumour for us.

    Mr Leg I fear you have slipped into a serious case of depression and a visit to a specialist is now over due.

    As for watching " tv footy shows" I fear that maybe your biggest problem.

    You must believe they will offer words of wisdom or similar. 

    Sadly I have to advise you that they probably the root cause of your depression.

    i have two suggestions that I believe will help.

    (1) do not watch TV footy shows.

    (2) Aquire a taste for good single malt, It will help to get you through the bad days.

    Depends on how many scotches you (or they) have had.

    After a few more, elephants fly as well.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
