Perhaps we shouldn't.

Here are the options as I see it Redleg.

- We except the Current

- We fight the people who we need $millions from to survive and a priorty Pick at year end.

My decision is go with the white jumper.

    missing the point od

    [1]. mfc vs giants - both use regular jumpers - conclusion = no clash

    [2].giants vs mfc - mfc wear clash strip, giants wear regular - conclusion = clash

    so how do you accept that od? which one to accept, point [1] or point [2]?

    I agree

    I seriously think the club ought make a stand one game where theres NO REAL clash and we accidentally ( Football depts being what they are sometimes :rolleyes: ) turn up to a game with only our REAL jumpers..as a fait accompli.

    They can fine us they can get shirty and we will tell everyone enough of this bullshlt...enough.

    They wont forfeit the game they would have to let it go ahead and then theyd realise what a crock of shlt it all is.

    Sometimes progress is only made by breaking the so called rule of the day.

    Eddie said first! Eddie told the AFL to get stuffed over jumpers! Essendon wasn't paying Golden Boy! Some clubs do as they please while we bend over and are the recipient of a painful insertion.

    I understand you dc

    What I am trying to tell you is we would be fighting city hall.

    GWS are the AFL team

    We are paupers who depend on the AFL for our existence.

    Until we are profitable and a power in the league we are powerless,

    The MFC board / management will not fight on this subject.

    We will just have to suck it up for the next five years minimum.

    End of story I am afraid

    AD does realise that that makes no sense whatsoever !!! What ever logic he applies to the eve game must surely apply to the day game.

    Another Vlad fail.

    good job AD is f'ing off then. Maybe another bloke can sell the game better

    The point I was making was that the Suns weren't forced to wear that anemic mainly white strip last Sunday but when we go over there, we're forced to wear white. It doesn't make any sense.

    No, it doesn't make any sense, but it is the AFL we are talking about ... :) I did notice that Hawthorn wore a white abomination when they played the Suns at Metricon (and I think the Suns wore something similar in their MCG game against us last year).

    Just back from camp and immediately see that the level of discourse has not leapt out of the gutter .

  • Quote

    I just have to ask Biff - what was the nature of this "camp"?

    I cannot disclose the full nature of this one although it is not Lordweavers'Chrtistian re-education service nor was it one forced upon me by the Justice Department.

    It did involve beer,children ,and a river-in order of importance.

    Nobody was killed but several of the children suffered minor injuries,

    An overall success in my books.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
