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 .... :(

    Forever and ever, Amen!

    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?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • 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?
