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.

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

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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
