Hangon if you do not appreciate a little humour in this bleak period I am sorry for you.

Leave us all here having some resonable discussion and a bit of fun.

It is called "not the Tom scully Thread" for a reason.

    You can make anything you like of stats but here is an interesting one.

    how many games have we lost by 9+ goals over the last 4 year. Below is the result from my investigation

    2008 7

    2009 6

    2010 2

    2011 7 with 4 games to go.

    So this year we are equal to our bottom out year and we still have 4 games to go, sunday could easily add another.

    looks stark against last year.

    What it clearly says to me is that we have gone backwards in a big way.

    To have as bad a year as 2008 is amazing.

    Any thoughts?

    If you were watching the Geelong game on TV you would probably have 5 or 6.

    And then the win/loss ratio...3 out of 22 in 2008, 7.5 out of 18 in 2011.

    We're still winning games. I blame the inconsistency on our leadership group, if that exists. It's normally only a few players under 23 who can hold their head high after a big loss.

    Can't drink scotch anymore. Gives me too much of a sore head like our club. These days I'm into like the TV commercial "el tranquilo" feeling. A fine Cuban Rum like Havana Club or Santiago De Cuba. Or if I feel like singing a few verses of What shall we do with a Drunken Sailor then Pusser's Navy Rum from the Virgin Islands does the job.

    Cotham Rd , Kew.

    From the website:

    At St Katherine's you can arrange to have a whole Suckling Pig cooked on the rotisserie, just for your table! For just $85 per person, you'll be treated to a meal designed around the beast.

    This beast looks alright...love the rotisserie..

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
