where were you in 64 Red ?

 

Thanks for that re read Mr. Leg, it is a mantra that should be framed.

I do hope the MFC read it.

 

Any news today?

Izzy to be investigated for tanking.

HWFUA (and dad) to follow?

AFL's fault - too much money dangled

Congrats guys. 100000 views and 127 pages and 3155 replies and still going strong.

Sorry to hijack lads, but perhaps this thread could be renamed the "No tank No B$ thread"!

At this point that wouldn't worry me.

I can gleefully inform fellow Demonlanders that having had close proximity to left over Halloween goodies that the Banana flavour Milky Ways are indeed yummy !! :)


And im still curious how Red missed the 64 ? Lol

In my backyard as a 12 year old with a Magpie mate listening on a transistor radio. Couldn't get a ticket and my parents weren't into football.

Saw Silvagni at a Restaurant last night and nearly wanted to ask him how you know who was going and who they were taking 1,2 & 3.

at least you experienced one !!

Still yet to :(

Just got back from a week on the gold coast with my wife, Daughter and Grand Daughter had a lot of fun.

Snuck a look a couple of times at Demonland.

What a bunch of Depression.

On now and the first eight threads are doom and dire statements about the tanking episodes.

The MFC is just depressing for me at present, what a shambles this club is at times.

Paid my 2013 membership a couple of weeks back but the way things look that maybe it for me over 2013.

I have a bad feeling about all this crap.

Surely there are better ways to spend 2013.

DEPRESSING

I am at the who cares stage

Can fully understand.

An article about Russell Howcroft...didn't realise his passion for the Dees was this high. Another strong Board Member...we are in good hands!

Something positive. That's nice.

I too, old dee, have not read all the 'Tanking' threads. I prefer to keep my head in the sand and not get caught up in the drama (on here).

On another note. I'm hoping Tippett goes into the ND. GWS will pick him up, leaving Toumpass or Wines to us. Add to that, i hope Jacobs leaves PA and we pick him up in the PSD.

We need all the luck we can get. We may have some low draft picks next year. I'm hoping for Premiership points taken off us next year. I dont think we will make the 8 regardless

On another note. Did anyone hear Buckley on SEN today. I heard Buckley saying that Dawes was told by the Dees that his days were numbered at the Pies therefore he chose the Dees to play next year, or something to that effect. Does Buckley really believe that Pie supporters will believe that. He was a contracted player who could have stayed, or the Pies forced to stay if they chose.

Buckley is a tool who I hope fails as a coach. Over rated player too.

Pie supporters seem to be OK with Dawes leaving. IMO too many short sighted supporters in the AFL (including pie supporters). Dawes has played well as FF and was forced to play up the ground and went backwards. Whilst he is not a star, he is a more than handy FF. I'm backing Dawes to get back to form with Mitch and Pederson up along side him.

It's OK Old.

Dont let it get you down .

I'm sad to hear you are at the who cares stage already.

That takes me until May to get to .

At the moment ,I'm still in Egyptian Fish Stage.

I'm told that Buckley also came out in support of Melbourne on the tanking issue stating that all clubs whose seasons are shot do exactly what Melbourne's done i.e. embarked on a policy where team development was more important than winning. Every club did it but only one of them is being investigated and that is the scandal of the year.

I guess I am just over 2012 Biffen but when did we last have a year that was not mired in incompetance?

The MFC seems to lurch from one disaster to the next.

I look forward to a year when all we have to consider is the quality of our playing stocks.

As the 2012 year draws to a close the next thing on the agenda is will we be kicked in the guts because we could not even tank well.

If it was raining soup the MFC would be standing there with a fork.

Can the AFL please do whatever they have to do with our tanking and lets get on with it.

Please Mr. D make a decision and lets move into 2013 with all this crap of 2012 behind us.

Up in Queensland with WJ. Looking at banana prices. There could be some developments.

Which thread will have more pages by Christmas ... this one or the Caroline Wilson tanking one? Odds?

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
