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: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
