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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
