The No T$ No B$ Thread

Old dee,

I just think we need to go beyond the banana fritters and the like.

This thread started as a distraction at a time when everyone was going bananas at the thought of Voldemort jumping ship. Once we've played GWS and hopefully given them a shellacking, what purpose is it going to serve?

Quite obviously your mind is made up.

So have a nice night WJ

    Well. One could argue it is after all about something. In this thread we can identify the fluctuations on banana prices and keep a good track record of Redleg's track runners. Oh and there's a countdown clock somewhere showing the time to this years National Draft...importance personified.

    Other than that, yeah it's tracking a la Seinfeld. But in this case there's no B$ ! Apparently.

    Surely, there has to be some closure from this whole T$ thing at some stage?

    What better time than after the GW$ game when we get the chance to see him in the flesh in that ghastly orange garb?

    How about we extend the olive branch WJ, and instead of closing it, move it to general discussion, where it can continue on its merry way. It fits under 'general discussion' after all, given the nature of its content. And if Redleg wants it re-named or have the T$ taken out, we can make do ??

    Si ?

    I'm not suggesting it's broke, I'm suggesting to keep the thread alive.

    moving it to the general board will be like putting it into an iron lung on life support

    or, like sending your kids to Junior Boarding School

    Why don't you 'pin' it?

    No-one looks there and there are always around the 3 or 4 threads up there.

    Inclined to agree there, too many timble weeds I suppose. Unless we merged sports and general boards.....food for thought anyway.

    That's currently under review dc. Awaiting a consensus of sorts.

    I think that during these dark days at the MFC it is very sad that the site cannot afford one thread that is light hearted

    and does not take itself seriously.

    We have a multitude of threads with people at each others throats.

    If it helps, I can start a discussion about which other fruit the players like. I believe Watts likes cherries.

    On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

    Yes it seems we do not have much luck.

    I seem to remember that a couple of those we drafted knowing they would be out their first year.

    Gawn and Fitzpatrick I think.

    I do not take a lot of interest in the fortunes of draftees at other clubs Redleg

    So I do not know if we are poor by comparsion or not.

    but like you I think we seem to have a lot of bad luck with these guys.

    PS you could have added Grimes to that list

    • 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?
