How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

The Mileage we cover must be factored in stronger than what it is....it is not the only factor, but travel fatigue does occur

    Then how come WCE seem to have very little problem last year.

    How come Brisbane won 3 in a row.

    How come Sydney played in 2 GF's in a row and won 1 and lost the other by less than a goal to the WCE.

    It seems to me that good sides win and poor sides don't.

    There may be a small amount of problem but it seems to me it is a handy excuse.

    Oh we had to go all the way to Perth last week and we were so tired this week.

    We had better get a grasp of the problem if it is that big or we will be wandering in the wilderness forever.

    you are not factoring in all the "Juice" those teams used....do you remember all the syringes that were in the Brisbane rooms when Lethal was there?

    Twice any other team....Travel is a factor, not saying we don't have to master it.

    Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

    Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

    Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

    Mate I think we are having the same discussion we have had before.

    I am sure we are just discussing degrees.

    I think we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

    Unless he is injured, it was a pathetic run. Hopefully tuesday will be better.

    Has anyone noticed the huge amount of new topics started daily. It seems like every thought gets its own topic.

    By golly you're right.

    I think I might start a thread on that very subject.

    Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

    I think that is a fairly short bet RL

    Davis was considered not long after news of going to GWS/leaving Adelaide as captain material.

    Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

    That may well be so Redleg, but the D'Land ministry of Cultural Enlightenment and Propaganda has decreed that anything and anyone associated with GW$ must be mercilessly castigated, vilified and denounced at every possible opportunity. Your Forum expects every Poster to do his duty. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

    If you read between the lines in the line I posted, I think I have complied.

    I have made a note to use Li-Ion batteries in my sarcasm meter. That should fix things

    GWS intraclub game tonight at Moore Park in Sydney @ 6.30pm.

    I hope the condition of the ground's improved since I last was there. In the late 80s I would not have played the under 16s there!

    One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times.

    Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

    Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

    And now for something completely different !

    Mark Twain visited our shores ( as well as India , New Zealand etc ) around the end of the 19th century and wrote a book about it .

    I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

    I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

    i was wondering about this, will we go about the NAB sup the usual way by playing the younger brigade and experimenting or will it be used as valuable experience in learning the new game plan/structures etc. It feels odd to say this about the pre season comp but i think i would be dissappointed if we didnt play our best available side even with the risk of injuries or whatever

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
