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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
