I am struggling to find something to be intolerant about grandchildren.

They are our future R&B

Now I have just got to work out how to make mine dees fans.

Just had a radical thought

We could start winning lots of games!

May that ever be the case. As for making them Dees fans, it is tough when the 2013 highlights are the last quarter of the home game against GWS, Howie's hangers and the first MFC women's match .... :(

    Don't confuse the tanking outcome with the Essendrugs deal, they are poles apart.

    One is an orchestrated deal on a breach of an AFL rule that was never proved and the other is the biggest scandal to ever hit the sport that compromised the health of players and is admitted.

    If you can't be negative then you could try inanity.

    Seems to keep everyone docile.

    Redleg was complaining about talking utter Tird.

    And he is a lawyer-a professional at it!

    True and notwithstanding that some are elsewhere claiming we committed a "crime" the reality is that it was reported that two senior counsel gave opinions that the AFL's case against us would fail if it went to the Supreme Court. The problem was that it would have cost us a fortune in legal fees.

    And in the end we were shafted by the AFL who punished us twice. The first time with the fine in the negotiated settlement and the second when it bowed to the pressure of the other clubs and refused to give us draft relief by way of a priority pick for the last national draft. We were entitled to the assistance on the merits but other factors deprived us of a proper consideration of our case. That's the AFL for you.

    Is it just me or is this whole Essendon thing sapping your enthusiasm for AFL level football in general?

    With every passing day a little bit more gets chipped off me.

    Once not so long ago I was an enthusiastic follower of most teams and games over the season.

    Now I take notice of most things MFC and then little of everything else.

    I would never have guessed bb!

    I don't like seeing the AFL tarnished with this crap.

    I have a couple of close Bomber fans and they are devastated at present

    I feel their pain.

    as you know I have family members who are Messy ones . This is not about them, this is about a club that seems to think it can operate beyond the fence and with utter contempt for all else ( arguably not alone..carlscum fit that description also )

    Over the years I have tried to use the "Sponsors" of the MFC.

    With limit success I have to report unfortunately.

    My major success was iPrimus.

    The not so goods were mostly either too costly compared to their competitors or simply appeared poor from my contacts.

    e.g. I bought Kaspersky virus protection and it did not want to download properly onto my computer.

    I contacted them and was told " oh we get a bit of that do you want your money back" .

    Fairly quick resolution but I have often wondered why they did not try and fix the problem.

    A couple of weeks ago I started looking for a new Car so I checked out the AHG dealerships.

    I have been to the brand dealer I am interested in and so far the experience has been ordinary.

    Not exactly rushed off my feet and their price is approx. $3000 more than a couple of other quotes I have had for the exact same car.

    Doubt I will be buying from AHG at this rate.

    I have a theory that because the MFC are not a "sort after Club" we end up with sponsors that are a fair way below the large successful companies.

    Do we get the also-rans and subsequently get the same level of service?

    Or am I just unlucky?

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
