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.

    WB BBO

    Moon and Biff appeard to missed you I think they were planning to join you in your rehab just to have someone to talk too.

    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: 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?
