All of what you say is probably true Redleg.

I will be delight if it improves matters.

But where it really counts is winning games.

When that happens I will believe.

I hear you brother. Amen.

    You have been in the doldrums OD. If you cannot drink your way out of it - here is the sad alternative.

    I am not in the doldrums Bbo

    Just have a low opinion of our team at present.

    That may well change around 4.30 pm on March 31st.

    Just sipping a single malt as I type.

    The world with the exception of the MFC is wonderful

    I think Viney is a certainty this week and I would play Clark. He looked ok and can play out of the goal square. My daughter saw Dawes today and he thought he would be OK to play as well. Trenners needs more game time at Casey and probably another hitout for Blease as well.

    I commented elsewhere that it would be a risky strategy if we play too many players who lack match practice. I doubt we can go in with both Clark & Dawes after their limited time on the ground in match practice. Agree on ruling a line through Sam Blease's name and you can add JT to the outs as well.

    If they are worried about both, I think they will play Clark before Dawes. He is athletic and harder to stop than Dawes.

    We are as one there Redleg.

    I also think he is way better as a player than Dawes.

    It is going to be interesting to see if Dawes was a good buy.

    I used to think he was a good position player in a good team not sure he has that around him at the MFC

    The jury is out for me.

    March 2013 has not been one of my better months leaving aside the football.

    I bought an Asus Android tablet computer, it ran for 20 minutes and expired.

    No problem got my money back and ventured to the Apple shop.

    My brother was giving Apple a big wrap ( I should have known better he is a Lions Supporter )

    Well 9 days and 3 hours on the phone to Optus, a 1 hour visit to the Apple shop and 2 hours on the phone

    to Apple it has been returned as it would not do most function at a satisfactory level and some not at all.

    Thank God for the trusty Dell and Microsoft.

    Our first game is on the last day of March thank god the MFC has nothing to do with computers

    or I would be really worried.

    Your lucky to have that much technology option

    We were recently the centre of more lightning strikes and even my steam powered system was put out of action.

    Telstra Repair date was given by my supplier as 26 April so I was not a happy camper.

    I rang to say as I had no internet facility I couldnt arrange payment of my Telstra telephone account. Miraculously the fault was fixed by 5.00 that night ensuring access to Demonland. My supplier (not Telstra) was equally astounded.

    We do have the occasional victory over the grander forces so dont despair

    dpositive I cannot believe the problems I have with the electronic world.

    In the last year I have bought a PVR, TV, and two tablet computers.

    All of which either expired in short order after purchase or would not work properly.

    Modern technology is wonderful when working but a giant pain when it does not.

    These guys make the MFC look like the model of good operation.

    There have been days when I thought I was Redleg.

    I would just like an even break when I enter the electronics world.

    a 100% failure rate is surely not the average.

    My wife is much wiser than me when I was complaining about Apple this morning she said

    " you woke up alive today didn't you? That is a hell of a start"

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
