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"

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
