    Good one HT I like it a lot.

    Hope you had a bet on Iconic Princess who won at Geelong today and Man of Magic ran 2nd at Ballarat Wednesday at his first start. When I am away they do well. IP has now won 3 at Geelong on the synthetic.

    No redleg I did not know they were your horses.

    But that is the story of my punting life.

    Unfortunatly it is still a better story than my success in following the Dees

    [bloody joke. All games except ours being shown live on free to air or foxtel on Gold Coast where I am at the moment. Ours on replay on foxtel at 8.30. Unbelievable.

    Go Sydney, go Carltank (simply because I want Sydney to knock the Aints out in the finals) and most importantly, go Tiges so we can drag out this old chestnut...

    Just had a Hungry Jacks egg muffin and they are not as good as the big yellow M variety. See what this team has done to me, I am writing about breakfast muffins. Oh how I long for the days of the Banana Smoothie.

    Well that is it for 2011. Just to add the icing to the cake, the game cut out on my recording 2.5 minutes from the end. Trade and draft week to look forward to.

    By the way, were the umpires paid employees of Port Power. 28 frees to Port and 13 to us, 6 goals to Port from frees and at least another 2 goals to Port after a Dees free was ignored and a Mark of the Year contender to Howe 10 metres out not paid and then a goal to them on the rebound..

    Well I guess that brings another wonderful season by the MFC to an end.

    And what a wonderful year it was.

    We played on average a lot worse than 2010, 6 - 9+ goal losses vs 2 in 2010.

    We got thrashed by the age old enemy.

    We went into the record books with a 186 point belting.

    We sacked a coach during the year.

    We ended the season with losses to Richmond and Port.

    Our Captain was next to useless for the majority of the year

    and the vice captain could not make the side for the last round through poor form.

    At the finish 13th on the ladder.

    Yes all in all a wonderful year.

    But in true Demon fashion there is always next year and the next year and the next year and the next year!

    If not for the fact that we let Junior go in a messy way, we would be seriously looking at getting rid of our captain and vice captain. Wont happen, but on form it should.

    speaking of which what is the current price?

    believe it or not I had some for fathers day breakfast.

    Present to me by my daughter.

    We had a good laugh when I said Redleg would be impressed.

    They Looked at me as though I came from Mars.

    It took some explaining.

    Then Perhaps I do!

    I know what you mean. I get funny looks when I say to someone I post on a Melbourne FC fan site and enjoy reading it.

    I think bananas are about $9.99 a kilo at the moment.

    Not sure why it is assumed you have to be under 30 to post on a web site.

    Well my present was a bit more expensive than I thought.

    Never thought I would see the day when Bananas would be top of my wish list!

    I've been an administrator of this site for almost six years, and the first time I ever actually told anyone about it (most who know me well figured it out) was about six months ago. I felt like such a retarded dweeb. Will never do again.

    I know your pain...

    My name is rpfc, and I post at Demonland.

    Hello rpfc...

    You have family and friends who love you.

    Maybe Demonland should have a 'Beyond Blue' sticky thread...

    I don't tell them about this per se - say I'm a member of a MFC supporter's group. Much less cringe-worthy.

    I just tell people I'm addicted to meth.

    Much less stigma attached.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
