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.

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

    Not to mention getting lost on the way down :)

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
