Winning is the thing where you have tiger blood and finish on a higher score than your opponent. I know it's been a long time since we've won anything, so I don't blame you for not understanding.

We won the coin toss on Saturday.

I rejoiced.

Kill me.

If I do, it will make it considerably easier to be here till you die.

I don't understand.

I meant , with all the crap we have had lately, it would be nice to win a game for a change.

Imagine if you were the FOJ sponsor right now. The publicity you would have received would be priceless.

What ever happened to JATZ CRACKERS

Late yesterday i had taken about all I could concerning AFL Football and the MFC.

So I made myself a promise that I would Ignore anything to do with the AFL and the MFC for 24 hours.

All was was going well till I picked up todays Hun and wham what a head line.

But I held fast and did not read any of the story ( that was really hard ), I avoided radio by listening to a CD when out in the car.

The result has been unexpected, I feel very calm and I have a new prospective on my liesure time.

You know there are 1 billion people in China who do even know that the MFC exists.

So I am now looking at the MFC in a new light.

DO NOT OBSESS

We are a football club that is towards the bottom of the competition in a number of areas.

So what I have had a lot of fun times as well as a lot of crap.

We may well be crap for the balance of this decade but i have been here before I know what to expect.

I find it hard to believe we will win on saturday in Perth but who knows the margin might be less than I think.

I get a lot of fun out of Demonland and the majority of you dees supporters out there even if as a football team we are very ordinary.

I cannot change what happens to the MFC, if it fails to exist in 2020 so be it i might not exist either.

The up side is enjoy life do not let the Bloody AFL get you down.

This club drains you so much that I actually spent time thinking it would be ok to finish last this year, as we could virtually rebuild our mid field in one draft. Imagine getting Viney with our 2nd round pick, the 2 best mids in the country with pick 1 and first compo pick being pick 2 and then say another good mid at 10 or 11, whatever that compo pick is. You really could become a top side if these kids became the basis of a new midfield for us. We are ok forward and back and in the ruck IMO.

I know we won't finish last but I just couldn't help thinking, one more bad year and then a decade of good years to follow, I could live with that.

Redleg you may get your wish and we will not need to tank either.

However we have no chief of recruiting who is going to pick them?

But then again it seems the chiefs of the last ten years have not set the world on fire.

Perhaps we are better of without one, It is hard to believe you could not do as well picking them out of a barrel.

Given his record of advising us who he would pick, WJ could do no worse than the paid professionals who have done the job for us.

Our head of recruiting for 2012 is Todd Viney. At a guess I think he will be doing the picking.

Just because he was a past champion Demon, that gives me no comfort.

Who is in charge of player development at the club, is it Todd?

Where did you get this info?

He is not listed as such on the MFC web site

Then again Greg Healy is not list as a board member either.

Some now getting their jollies from GWS being thrashed and $ playing poorly. I guess I am one of them.

A strange calm has come over me.

Late yesterday I realised that we are indeed due for a very sad and depressing year.

So I have given up all expectations for 2012.

The only real thing to look forward to now is the trading period and Draft day.

With a bottom or near bottom finish, comp draft picks, and talk of new jumper sponsors in September and October

That should provide something to look forward to.

Of course it is also helped by the fact that I will be out of town next week so I can largely ignore that result.

The off OS for the next three games, in the good old USA you really have to look for AFL results to find any.

So bliss has arrived no more MFC for 4 weeks, that sounds like heaven.

I am off there next week and miss Cats, Hawks, Saints and Dogs games. Might not be missing too many wins.

As for your comment about the season being over, I think 2 games in with one at Pattersons against WC is too early to call.

Not sure what has happened but I have just checked the Newspapers, Radio, TV and Internet!

Nothing disasterous is being reported about the MFc.

What the hell is going on.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
