I just knew your ears would pick up hearing the word 'camp' Bitty.

The word does have many connotations Loonshadow. However, it takes a miserable and sordid type like yourself to try and create smut out innocent curiosity on my part.

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.

Did you take the children to McGatt's for the after party?

 

So do we really have a jumper clash with Adelaide? Or is the white abomination vaguely justified this week? (Gotta do something to push this thread back onto the first page, and am sick of wading through all the player-bashing threads :blink: )

No it is not justified but that won't alter the fact we will play in the White jumper that I am forming an affection to as I see it more often than the real one.

The reason there are so many negative threads R and B is there is not much of positive nature to talk about.

A couple of thoughts from the weekend.

Wines was again disappointing

and Bennel put a blinder for the Eagles.

Didn't Bennell,s man kick 3-4 goals.

We are learning to lock sides down and that is a real plus for when we can get our midfield and forward line right.

That is the start of the way back.

Next get game time into the possibles and improve the list.

It did occur to me that we seem to have played better in the white abomination this year than in our real colours ... :blink:

IMHO OD there are always positives and negatives --- it is a matter of where you choose to focus (eg form of Salem & Jamar).

I believe Biff has a portrait of Lord Baden-Powell on his wall at the Gat DC. I'm not sure what that old bugger would make of the company though.

Being in Adelaide I can more or less ignore it.

Planning to go to Ammos on Saturday dc for my footy fix.

At least I will go with the feeling a win is a good chance.

I am just happy that we seem to have a plan and a team that are capable of executing it.

To stop our leaking goals was the first step.

To bring in new players and get them game time is the second.

To turn over the list and develop players is the third.

We are on the way. Wins are great but honourable losses are part of the change.

.delighted to let you all know the darkness has lifted for awhile .

first sign of mud for 6 months,

btw,have i missed something or has the frog croaked?.

I believe that happens when you remove your head from a cow's clacker Jazz.

As to the Fl og, I am hoping that he has gently paddled to the bottom of the lily pond (or, more crudely, got caught in the S bend) but, no doubt, he will rise phoenix like, from the ashes (excuse the mixed metaphor) and continue to haunt.

Don't want to rain on your parade Jazza but in our family there is old saying.

"Behind every cloud there is more darkness and gloom, ended only by the inevitability of decay and death".

Now Redleg you are really pushing my button.

I am a very long time opponent of this miserable excuse for not winning.

There are wins and there are losses.

Losses are just that and there is nothing honourable in them.

The MFC has to regard every loss as a loss nothing more nothing less.

We have to leave all thought of loss in the CS era.

It is a thought process of that era and should left with all the other crap from that period.

You're very positive today Biff - did you knock a child down in the carpark?

  • 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.
