How's that book of yours coming along bbo? - "101 Ways To Have Fun With Alpacas"

I'm changing the title - no point in setting limits.

So you're familiar with AOD9604?

You've been ahead of time BBO.

This is where the no limits policy failed me. I think I may have O D'd!!

    Had a good weekend football wise.

    Went to nothing at all due to some small family problems on Saturday.

    feel at peace with the world.

    This could catch on!

    Heard the dees lost by 10 goals and Grimes out for who knows how long.

    Does it matter? no not a lot.

    Booked a holiday to Thailand in June today the winter is looking up.

    Out on the fourth bbo so I will be back before you leave.

    Have you been to Myanmar before ?

    I am told it is like bali in the 60's.

    My first visit to Bali was 1975 unfortunately that "bali" is long gone or most of it anyway.

    look forward to your thoughts Bbo on return.

    Pretty quiet actually.

    Amazing how we as supporters see our team in 2013.

    I did not go yesterday but heard the scores a couple of times, at half time I thought only 5 goals behind.

    Then the final score and thought wow only 10 goals!

    I never thought I would see the day when I was happy with a ten goal loss.

    Says lots about my expectation for the team at present.

    Things are truely bad when you have no expectation of a win in 95% of games and see a ten goal loss as a good result.

    I can assure you I am not happy with a 10 goal loss. I am happy that at least we tried. It is abundantly clear that we were beaten by a quicker and more skilled team. Our side lacks both badly.

    I am sick to death of banging on about my pet hate, but we have too many players who have no disposal skill whatsoever. this is not development I believe. We have simply drafted players who can't use the ball properly.

    As for the likes of Betts and his mates, you don't develop other players to become them, you have to draft them and we have failed miserably.

    At least now our players are having a go.

    I would concentrate on developing the lst as best we can and turn over more players at years end including Gillies, Pedersen, Byrnes and Rodan. A mistake, they were the wrong players.

    Agree on Pederson but Byrnes has been one of our better players this year.

    I am spending 15/16 days there and really looking forward to it. I have travelled extensively in SE Asia (love the place and people) but first time to Myanmar. Will give you a report.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
