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.

Can there be too many?

It appears he been drinking Red.

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.

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

gellibrand.{nuff nuff capitol of the district}

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.

  • 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?
