I'll bow to your superior knowledge on that subject RL and avoid that site. I believe it is one of Biffen's favourites. However I'd like OD's view.!

I won't give one Bbo as it would no doubt be viewed as negative.

Amen to that and now back on topic, I think it must surely have been a triumphant moment for this thread that the co-captain of this august football club and one of the nation's premier sporting organisations told an audience of 650 adoring supporters that his daily dietary regimen involves the consumption (inter alia) of at least eight bananas.

I thought I would share this news with you while it was still ripe.

I will try to stay out of your way in the future.

Sorry to reduce your enjoyment of the MFC.

You aren't, but injuries certainly are.

Clark taking a break. Viney concussed today. Dawes a one week injury possibly stretching to 5-6 or more. Hogan, who knows? Garland, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks or more?

I can't understand Olds objection to being called negative. He is wonderfully negative. OD has made negativity an artform. OD is a reality check to those pathetic souls who think we follow Melbourne to one day enjoy Premiership success. He is an inspiration to continue supporting dead set losers. A true MFC stalwart.

That is why I take it so seriously.

Well, the changing landscape of football. 3 Interstate sides have won so far. Hopefully Port make it a clean sweep for the weekend.

Don't be upset, this is what the AFL want. It has become so much harder for us to rise up the ladder. We could improve and still finish bottom.

This club is cursed:

Clark on extended leave from the club.

Dawes a slight calf strain and out for who knows how long.

Hogan a stress issue in the back, same as Dawes.

Viney injured last year, concussed today.

Our best backman Garland out injured.

Star players in the past cruelled by injury and their careers curtailed, naming just one, Jakovich.

The only club done for tanking, with a finding of no tanking.

Poor drafting, over and over again.

Instability with Coaching, Board and Administration, etc, etc, etc.

You can not get any more cursed than that.

Yes, but somehow I had the feeling that an interstate side was likely to win the game between GWS and the Swans ... :)

I agree with your general point, though.

Since 16 of the 18 AFL teams are from interstate I would expect that at lest 7 to 9 games a week will be won by an interstate team.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
