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".

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

    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

    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
