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.

    The more things change the more they stay the same

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
