Spot on Redleg

I don' want to appear a smart arse but i have just got home after a great 24 hours.

Baby sitting overnight my two and half year grand daughter never ceases to bring a smile to my face.

Then off to see Uni Blacks play De la salle in the top of the ladder clash.

Blacks won by 11 points, close game and by Amos standards a good one.

Nice to go to a football match were I have the belief that my team has a good chance of winning.

My wife and I had a good day meeting a couple of friends, couple of drinks in Carlton on the way home.

On the way home she said to me "nice to go to a games and enjoy yourself!"

Next comment was are you going to another dees game this year?

Hmm very good question

I have had a great 24 hours as well, dees haven't been thrashed today. Oh that's right Casey were done by 10 goals.

    We have too many players who are not AFL standard. Our disposal is still poor. Our kick out plan doesn't exist. We need another 4 skilled mids.

    The Kreuzer cup game appears to be the most costly in recent history. That win cost us Cotchin and Nic Nat.

    Sounds like a weekend to savour, OD. If the iPad is still behaving itself, then maybe the only thing lacking is the Dees beating Hawthorn by 10 goals in two weeks time (yes, I am an idiot! :blink: )

    Having just read some of the other threads on Demonland, I am extremely grateful that this one has not descended to the nastiness of a few of the others.

    There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked.

    Amen to that, Redleg. The Zen nature of this thread is a real joy.

    iPad is working well R and B typing on it right now.

    So all is well.

    Ha ha the MFC beating Hawthorn I think you are at Starbucks right now.

    Seriously mate I have gotten over the Dees.

    Having spent five years of being irrelevant

    I have accepted we are headed for the oblivion.

    The only thing left is the time frame.

    I am at peace

    That last bit is the key, OD. Long may it last! Maybe one day we can sit near the old race, watch the Dees win and laugh about 'when we were crap' :-)

    I hope we live that long mate!

    It pays to remind yourself there is a lot more to life than a football team.

    Our players would drown.

    I doubt it Redleg they would need to first find the effort needed to climb onto the diving board.

    And if they did, with their skill, they would fall off.

    Then drowning is a real possibility!

    Presumably you won't be back, then? Unless you prefer fresh cardboard ... :blink:

    Not to mention getting lost on the way down :)

    Too right on both counts.

    I'd pick Viney (captain) as #1... because when he jumps in a pool he doesn't get wet - the water gets viney'd.

    Followed by Yze, Robinson, Farmer and Howe for some theatrics

    Then the rest would be our usual flops, Johnstone, Morton, Cook, Bennell, and Bate

    Sub... Woewodin (got to have a 'star' in there)

    For a coach I'd definately have MN for a bit of controversy... or a bit of inspiration for players to jump

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
