The No T$ No B$ Thread

Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

On the GC for a couple,of weeks as is Andy who is Demonland.

Ran into former Demon Cameron Hunter who is up here with his family.

Naturally I will be attending the MM sales and might pick up some news on Vlahos.

Anything of interest today Redleg at the MM?

Craig Cameron present?

HNY to all here on the NoB$ thread. 2014 - off to a cracker with a banana smoothie (has to be iced); and it was great seeing Siddle get through with consistency again this summer. Must be the banana intake (28 I believe - 5-6 with every smoothie) .....

    Disappointed to say this but Mrs. Redleg had a cheese, pineapple and banana toasted sandwich today and it looked and tasted like crap.

    Craig Cameron understandably was not at MM today and I would imagine is trying to keep a low profile. He left the Tigers as they were becoming successful and joined BC3 just before they unravelled. I actually feel sorry for him he is a nice guy.

    Thanks Redleg

    not a big punter myself but mentioned Smart Al to my old man who follows the horses

    or as he says the horses he follows follow horses.

    He just called to say Smart Al pretty smart carried his $1 to a win (Of course now wishes we had all put more on it. I had to tell him I had forgotten all about it)and he's hoping that this success can rub off on the Dees .

    Hes having a good run as got an outsider yesterday that payed $70 which was the reason he expanded his betting range.

    He did say Al had a good jockey and looked OK.

    Will take us a bit more seriously now though unlikely to change from supporting the Saints.

    You are welcome. Happy to have a winner and share it.

    He should improve with the run, will get further and will probably get blinkers next start.

    Then you will all like the fact that I'm back - a reformed character after my rehab. I've spent a few days fox hunting with "the lads" - most enjoyable.

    Good.

    I was in the restaurant where the concrete block fell through the roof from 70 stories up. Our family arrived 1 hour after it happened and we were told we would have been sitting in that area. It apparently was caused by a lightning strike on the building above the restaurant. I shudder to think what could have happened if we were there an hour earlier.

    The only footy related info is that I saw Cameron Hunter again in our building and Michael Christian at the horse sales.

    A horse we had passed in at an earlier MM sale that we now race, called Smart Al races in race 1 at Mornington on Friday. It should run well.

    That building you're inhabiting for the moment seems to be a magnet for former Melbourne people. Didn't it once host another ex-Demon who excelled in three games under RDB during the halcyon days of 1981?

    Yes the great Trevor Korn of the famous 54 jumper has been seen around here from time to time.

    Back to the Salt mines today

    I know it is very early in 2014 and with the weather as hot as hell this week the Footy seems a long way off.

    BUT

    I have zero enthusiasm for 2014 at this point.

    Is it just me?

    Saw a few Aye Aye at the Tana Zoo.

    They are very unusal looking Lrmurs, but would clearly make good Demon supporters.

    Back to work as well OD

    Don't you want to see the five or six MFC wins in 2014?

    Plus we have Roos as coach and noone is sure what the MFC will be investigated for in 2014 but there will be one or two I am sure.

    Not me. I am really enthusiastic about our future. We have some potential guns for the first time in ages and a new culture being taught by a Coach that the players respect and will play for.

    Bring on the season I want to see improvement. No more do I want to hear a player or manager refuse to even consider us as a destination.

    I'd run it over or have "the lads" stomp it.

    Typically compassionate stance there BBO.

    I am trying to organise an Alpaca cull in your area to increase the Aye Aye numbers in response.

    Would 303s be enough to blow those things apart or should we use grenades?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
