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.

I thought trolls ate mushrooms not bananas.

 

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?

I actually enjoy the odd vodka with some lime and lemonade or kahlua on ice.

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.

Love a white russian or 3...

Love a white russian or 3...

Might have one back in the side this week.

PS. I know he is not really russian.

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.

Did you get the free desserts, what were they?

Same place as Lady Hamilton's virtue...

Oh yes...

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..

Thanks for that Old Dee! Just when I thought my football world was at its lowest ebb for years, you go ahead and make it irrefutable. $h*t!

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
