I hesitate to post this but I have Briefed running soon at Sandown at 4.40. If he can get a clear run at them in the straight from not too far back he should be in the finish.

Beaten a short half head on a hard leaders track. Great effort from him as he comes from the back and likes some give in the ground.

    In other words, nothing's changed since last year.

    Somewhat short sighted by Thomo calling Caro out in relation to the AFL mouthpiece. Caro sledges the AFL where warranted, particularly AD.

    Thomo has always come across with a bee in his bonnet where AD is concerned, and despite me agreeing with him on many occasions, the way he carried on last show was a little childish.

    Make your point and move on Thommo.

    What is a good crowd RL?

    I would think under 20 is poor, over 30 is good and around 25 is not bad, given the interstate team.

    My guess on those options is 25

    a winning margin of 5 points

    Business as usual for the Blues 7 goal winners over the Tigers.

    I don't usually like it when Carlton wins but those Richmond supporters were really getting carried away during the week. I even heard a few on radio mentioning the P * word.

    * P = Premiership

  • Quote

    I think the P word appeared because of the newspaper columns last week. As soon as a coach/board member/bootstudder mentions the P word or even just the F word in the press, the faithful start nodding and agreeing away. Foregone conclusion they say. Anybody tip the tiges yesterday? Had about 15% of people tip them in the work league, seemed a little low, I would have thought more would have a flutter based on the blues' pre-season form.

    We are miles away from the F word and galaxies away from the P word.

    CArlton and Hawthorn have mentioned the P word a bit . Oh no -not the 80's again I hope .Unless it's the latter part where we knock those teams out of finals series .

    Have I mentioned I hate Carlton?

    Moi aussi . AND Hawthorn , AND Collingwood ,AND Essendon , AND Richmond , AND ....................

    I only like most of those teams if they win (and other people tipped against them).

    I just hate Hawthorn and Collingwood.Pity there was not more blood shed last night .

    I only hate Hawthorn when they play us. The rest of the time I only envy and respect them.

    Well the first tragedy of 2012 is now almost 24 hours ago

    And there has been an explosion on new threads so I thought I would put my thoughts on this one.

    Not sure if it fits but here goes.

    I ask myself what has changed in the last 48 years?

    For the majority of that time not a lot.

    Here we are after game 1 of 2012 with a bad loss to a bottom four side from last year.

    A list of average players at best.

    A new coaching panel ( how many of those have there been over that 48 year period )

    A game plan that I have no idea how it is meant to work, I doubt the players do either.

    A depresseing year awaits me.

    With the prospect of another rebuild.

    "Hang in there fellers we will get there"

    is again the cry.

    So as I said not a lot has changed.

    But there is one big change for me.

    I AM ALMOST WORN OUT BY THE MFC

    I have had it with the 40 medicore years of the last 48.

    I no longer want to wander off to the G with hope in my heart

    and then wander home with the same sick in the guts feeling that once again

    I am supporting a team of modest performers who tear my guts out.

    Once again I will be the butt of jokes from other club supporters.

    What has faithful support for 48 years got me! 8 years of joy and 40 years of misery.

    I have a solution to save my sanity.

    I have put away my new maroon and blue scarf, I have placed my members card at the back of the draw.

    I have taken the stickers off my car.

    I will return to the MCG when the MFC shows they deserve my support.

    Until then ( if I live long enough ) I will be an anonymous citzen in the fabric of Melbourne.

    Away from the scorn of the general football world.

    no more "carn the dees"

    Put up MFC and I will show up

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
