There is no doubt that I have over the last two years been slowly disengaging from the MFC

I no long have any expectation of winning, I went to less games in 2013 than 2012 I have been to one game this year and will not go until round 6 as I have other engagements and an interstate game this week.

I do not get angry with losses any longer.

This morning I turned on the computer and there were two emails from the MFC, as I was deleting them it occurred to me a seldom read emails from the MFC any more.

The human brains ability to block out painful things is a wonderful thing.

I suspect that if this year continues to follow the trend of the last two I will have stopped the hurt completely in six months time.

Gee we will have to begin "operation turn OD around".

Too many bananas?

Can there be too many?

You need another hobby to distract you from the likely train wreck of the 2014 season

Or eat more banana's

OD the MFC was so bad it will take years to recover. Personally I believe there is nothing else that can be done until the team can substantially be replaced.

Can there be too many?

It appears he been drinking Red.

can never be too many

Very sad news. Jockey Nathan Berry dies of virus caught while in Singapore. Condolences to his family and friends.

The news is saying he was epileptic, but sad he passed away

Gee we will have to begin "operation turn OD around".

I am confident that the only remedy is winning games.

start winning in 2015 and my attention will return.

right now I am in the dwindling phrase.

Sad but probably over due.

I totally agree. Most of this team is well below AFL standard. We looked like a joke team against WC. It was totally embarrassing. This is beyond lack of development or psychological problems. It's simple lack of ability. Grimes can't kick and when he does it's straight to the opposition. Watts has some natural ability but is too much of a public schoolboy and not enough of a mongrel. Jones has little ability, makes dumb decisions, thinks he's big enough to break packs and constantly ends up on the bottom of packs. At least he is a great trier. The rest of them need to go and be replaced by some big, strong , aggressive men who enjoy the game and play to win.

I am confident that the only remedy is winning games.

But how can the MFC win when its best players sit on the bench with long term or reoccurring injuries

The team needs a rebuild of a rebuild etc...

So lets not talk footy as its too upsetting

How are the bananas going?

An extremely good question DF the only answer I can give is It cannot.

The only way forward is the replacement of at least a dozen players IMO. Also add Clark and Dawes who are not physical up to AFL level stress.

That is going to take another two draft periods.

I hate to say this but last years draft selections are going have to take up more of the slack in 2015 than they should or the last two years results will continue.

However things are looking up I am having a banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch.

Off to an amos game tomorrow.

Good weekend ahead I expect.

Dawes and Clark must be dropped at the end of this season.

It is effectively happening at the start of the season DF

Cannot get on the park has the same effect on results

also the choofa capitol of the district.

but they have the best steak sanga you will ever get at the footy.

big crowd expected,probably 250-300

That should not be that hard DF

Anyone who can actually play 100 minutes week in week out will give better value at probably half the cost.

Try and keep on topic or start your own wine appreciation thread on the general board Bitty. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. Anyway, you're a very naughty boy. Bad, very bad.

Thank you.

Pretty sure we already have a massive wines thread.


Have a great day mate

catch up with a few that i hit,and some that returned the favour.

talk about how great we were and hang chit on the modern day players.

also forget about the dreaded AFL,and pretend im not interested in it.

After a round of golf at Apollo Bay last year, dropped off to the Hawks? Ground and watched them play against Otway Districts. Interesting battle, hawks home in a canter.

Gillette would do ok down there as a sponsor....fair to say manscaping is definitely not in their repertoire.

Entertaining slog in the pig pen in the middle.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
