I can see us putting up a good fight in the first half and then getting run over, with the Bombers 14 day break over our 6 day break being a big factor. After the battering the players copped I am sure their effort will be AFL standard, I am just not convinced with their talent.

Sickened to see how right I was, even though I understated it.

BP has destroyed this club.

 

I recently saw that the Burwood Boy was casting nasturtiums on my Alpacas and calling them camels. Well they deny this allegation (despite disreputable scientific evidence to the contrary).

They see it as an issue belonging to the distaff side of the family and don’t wish to become involved – Those nasty spitters are seen as the black sheep of an honourable genealogy.

Keep those malicious comments to yourself. (You know who are and should be ashamed)

An honourable genealogy hah, the bastard offspring of the common vicuna

Only a sadist like my dentist would keep alpacas for his indulgence (my dentist does have alpacas)

So you have exposed youself ( as it were) DC! However, you go too far mentioning the vicuna - they are sneaky little bustards! I'll have to ensure that lads don't read this.

Dentists are also sneaky bustards and should be avoided.

What about urologists and proctologists?

Good points. Actually DC has commented on his proctologist. I hope he had hands like Mike Tyson. However, I'm now feeling uncomfortable Redleg best leave this conversation alone.

My chiropractor is manipulative.

My accountant is very calculating.

Dont get me started on my sexual therapist.

 

Mine is a bloody good bloke!

I suspect mine is seeing other clients ,which doesn't help with my jealousy issues.

What kind of cross-species perversions have been going on in this genealogy?

Now the Media are calling for the AFL to take over the club.

Let's examine that. A financially sound Company, that has assets and makes a profit, run by a Board that is elected by its members, is taken over by the AFL, because it lost two sporting contests, Oh yes I can see that happening.

The club asking the AFL for help, well that is a different matter.

Another couple of hundred new threads started. Becoming impossible to read.

On a lighter note, Black Caviar's little brother just sold for 5 million.

I wonder what insurance on a gee gee like that would cost?

Generally a premium runs to 4% of insured value of a racehorse. Different for stallion fertility or mares in foal.

I now expect calls from the media for the removal of the Bombers CEO, for presiding over the biggest scandal in AFL history. Secret contracts for injecting players. Young players being injected with unknown substances via the stomache and now awaiting suspension from their sport. An inability of the CEO or club to tell those players what they had been injected with. Clearly worse than the loss of 2 games of football.

Come on Robbo and Connolly lets see you attack the club you support. Lets see the media attack Robson.

Wow! That's big coin....

That's why a lot of people don't insure their horses. I know breeders who don't insure, as they think the worst that could happen is they have one claim. The premiums may be bigger than the claim, so they "self insure".

Strange feeling tonight.

Five years ago we were a basket case

Then JS and CS came in as a team to save the club

The debt was extinguished and the rebuild of the team started.

We had lots of early draft picks and the way ahead looked good.

Now here we are in a worse spot than before they started.

Sadly the dream died a year or two ago.

I saw that the only way forward was for CS and DM to go.

The first half has happened and the second will probably happen before 2013 is over.

But tonight I feel nothing but sorrow.

How could such a noble and worth cause end this way?

Life sometimes really is a s--- sandwich.

Could be an interesting MFC Board meeting in the next day or so.

Don looked tired, worn out and extremely uncomfortable at the CS presser. He may be about to walk, feeling he has done all he can.

Yes Redleg pity we will not hear any of it.

I suspect that some board members tapped DM on the shoulder monday night or Tuesday morning

Something major happened between his piece on the web site and yesterday afternoon.

It was a 180 degree turn.

I know nothing about DM the person except what I see on TV and at the AGM

I think he is probably a nice guy who ended up as the President because of the health of JS.

Probably never wanted the job.

Unfortunately he has been the chief when we have spiralled down wards to the current low line.

He looked a broken man yesterday, worse than CS.

Only a matter of time before he moves on IMO.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
