Anyone know how Gysberts, Moloney, Rivers and Steph are going. I missed the Cats games. Did Jared play and if so, how did he go. Will probably see Gysberts on friday.

Saw most of the Geelong game(s)... Riv looked good. Same stuff he's always done but now he has a good midfield around him to link up with. Will be very handy for the Cats.

Well I have to say this may well be the saddest I have felt as a Demon's supporter in my life time

and there has been some poor days.

My wife said to me over Dinner

God's knows why a sane man would continue, go and watch Uni Blacks they give you way more joy.

She is probably right.

I think I am one episode of incompetence by a MFC administration away from quitting.

There is not much more left in me.

I hope a long single malt and a banana for breakfast will do the trick.

Come on Old. Sit back in your favourite chair put the old Perry Como record on, with your single malt and while away the half hour before you fall asleep dreaming of the red and the blue holding up the cup. One good thing is that the "new" tanking thread will be soon closed down but you, Red, WJ and others will discussing the benefits of a ripe v over ripe, normal v red tipped bananas. Bananas will never let you down. Just like your grandaughter.

Chin up, OD. One of my favourite Churchill sayings (and there are a few): "When you are going through hell, keep going". Sitting in the comfort of my armchair, I would have liked the MFC to go in harder and test this in court. However, I am not on the board (perhaps fortunately for the club :-) and don't have all the information, especially the so-called evidence and the legal opinions on our probability of success. But we move on, and within a few months, all of this will be forgotten, especially if we win a few games early in the season.

$500 000 loss Redleg!

Not sure what a bad one would be?

We haven't done religion here so how about some Psalm 49:-

Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.

Loses a little from the original but it sums up the final result nicely.

How about Micah 7:8 "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: When I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me."

I don't think 1 banana has done it for me.

Still looks to be the same god unholy mess as when I retired last night but now we have a gambling commission investigation.

Not much fun left in being a Dees supporter.

wonder what else I could do in winter that offers less pain.

Jeez we've been copping some Flack!

Our development has been stunted

and we've had more quiet achievers than BP's disaster unit.

"Just Dont Say" CC is on paid leave and Mr Clean has wiped the evidence clean off the Whiteboard ,which has been put in the vault for good .

We have a fit team on a Misson.

The world hates us and we are broke as usual .

We have nothing to lose but our minds.

Bring on round one .

Why does everyone around me have on white coats!

Gee Old I would have thought this was a pretty good day for the MFC and its Board and admin.

To some it might be Redleg. But I can understand the confusion of many. The final outcome from the governing body (The AFL) is that we didn't tank and didn't go out to deliberately lose games having considered all the evidence, and I can live with that . But the $500K (third largest AFL fine handed out) and the suspensions of key coaching/managerial staff is damning.

The information from the regular meeting in the vault should never have come to light. That's where the blame should lie in all this.

Four people came forward, and informant among the club allegedly supplied information to Caroline Wilson. Then there was Brock McLean. Our club has had backstabbing snitches with gripes. These people would rather battle for power or bring someone down than see this club prosper in pursuit of a flag. It's virtually unheard of at other powerful AFL clubs.

These are the people who should be in the spotlight. These are the people who are holding this club back now. The Board have been cleared, the CEO was exonerated after all the collated evidence. These people I speak of have Connolly and Bailey's blood on their hands, not to mention a $500K noose around the clubs neck.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
