made you!

I bet it was not that hard.

LOL

Have you ever seen an angry Mrs Frog!

I think our performances will be improved to the rest of the year.

It will be interesting to see how the AFL reacts and which way they go as to player assistance, if any. As I have said before, money itself will not solve the onfield performance. Coaching, recruiting and development will all play their part.

Redleg there is nothing new in the following however i feel complelled to make it again.

I have always believe you play to win every game.

When the season ends you start worrying about draft picks.

Numerous teams have shown you can build your list without very earlier picks.

The MFC during the period 2008 - 2011 tried to be too clever and we know where that ended.

The AFL knows we are in poor straits both on and off the field.

IMO the team is not capable of winning more than another two or three games at the max for the balance of this year.

We need to remember so far we have beaten GWS and the Dogs who are of similar talent to ourselves.

Baring a miracle I cannot see much improvement for the remainder of the year.

I would love it to and the AFL reduce assistance.

IMO the assistance will not alter between now and the end of the year.

Reality will return next Sunday.

Obviously I am not expecting us to beat the Swans but I think we will play better for the rest of the year.

It is clear that a weight has been lifted off the player's shoulders and as many of us said, our performances were too bad to be true.

the main thing I hope that happens is that Craig perserveres with the younger and new players and gives them games. That said I want Byrnes at Casey. On Rodan's game saturday he deserves another couple.

I agree with you Redleg I just think a win over the Dogs does not prove a lot in the scheme of things. I still think we have a very ordinary list until I see otherwise .

Now if we got to within five goals of the Swans on Sunday then my view might change.

however I think I have now come to the view that Neeld was an ordinary coach.

Craig will get more out of this team especially if he can get two or three back from injury

No time to sit on the fence.

Make your choice clear and without any doubt.

As I think you a leaning towards chocolate but too afraid to say it.

It is the thing called hope, OD. A narrow win over the Dogs doesn't change much, as you said, but at least now there is the prospect of going to the footy without wondering why we bothered on the way home.

Spot on. I now see a glimmer of hope where there was none .

I would add that I was thinking on the way there why I was bothering going!

I could understand that. That sense of dread. Of hope turning to the inevitable malaise. Whatever slivers of joy we extract from season 2013 will be savoured. I dont see the weather as being any much better but over on yonder I thought for a moment I saw a glimmer of blue sky. Like the eye of a storm there is still much rain and wind to endure but its turning from half empty to half full.

Theres an end in sight..and just beyond , anew beginning ( another one lol )

Following Melbourne is a bit like chasing rainbows isnt it !! :rolleyes:

Must be time for morning coffee....and cake :)

BB, it would seem from your first post there that you're heavily reliant on eyesight going forward. I would recommend carrot cake for you at this point!

You know rusty that all stems from the WW2 were the Poms put out the story that they were superior to the Germans in fighter planes because they ate lots of carrots which improved their eye sight.

The reality is was 99% crap and Propaganda.

To get an advantage you needed to eat massive volume of carrots over a long period of time and even then the affect was marginal.

Sound familiar?

Bomber PR department!

Well I was trying to keep Bb's visionary flame burning there OD. Although going by his latest thread it wld appear his positivity hasn't skipped a beat. You seem to have the inside running on carrots. Is there something heroic in your past that you haven't told us about? Retired WW2 ace maybe?

P.S. I think the bombers were eating too many bananas and attracted a few wild monkeys and those monkeys just may have brought in some funny bananas of their own!

Great to hear, or should I say SEE, Bb. Nothing wrong with the humble carrot.

P.S. Rohan Welsh is on SEN soonish. Bout to discuss Casey and Hulk etc for those who're interested.

Gee Rusty I am not that old mate, My father was on the kokoda track does that count.

Do not agree with the Bombers / bananas.

Bananas only bring joy the bombers never do!

I guess that's pushing your age up there a bit OD. Apologies. I should have said Korean :-))

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
