Why is it that I feel no frustration from todays game?

Not Angry

Not disappointed

Just normal.

Because it was that sort of game, perhaps? Not flogged by 10 goals like the last two weeks, not a win, just a clanger fest in which for each good bit of play there were one or two facepalm-worthy moments ... One more brick in the road to somewhere good, I hope.

    Don't concern yourself Moon, I'll unveg myself as soon as I'm confident that any schnitzels from Jazza's area are gone from the market.

    Lentils for life, then ... :)

    Haven't seen the game yet but to take Port to under a goal at their home when they were desperate to win to get into the top four, was a great effort.

    We are definitely improving and this off season in adding personnel and learning will be vital to our future.

    We are on the right track.

    YES I guess 4 wins and only a couple of beltings for the year will be an improvement.

    To be very honest at the start of the year I thought five wins would be a big improvement on the two previous years.

    Don't know if we will get 5 wins this year, but we have clearly improved.

    Percentage is the first indicator. It is up.

    I think someone posted that we have lost 6 games by under 20 points. I seem to remember us playing most of our games in the last several years where we were out of it 20 minutes into the game. Then it would get worse.

    I would imagine that Stretch and maybe 2 good mids drafted and maybe another traded in plus Hogan and improvement in youngsters like Salem, JKH, Toumpas, Kent etc and another instructive pre season will have have us climbing the ladder quickly.

    My five wins is wishful think Redleg but I try to imagine a win against the Lions.

    How is the USA treating you?

    Just received an update on Biffen. Apparently just came off a bender to discover his meth lab had burnt down and his girls had joined a union. Biff's life is in a spiral - out of control. I like the guy (even though he stole my credit card) but there is a limit to my good nature. The "lads" consider him a pervert (along with Frosty). I'm going to avoid the Gat for a while.

    So, Spearmint Rhino it is in the meantime?

    Sounds terrible Jazza- like work people advertise as "honest ".

    The alarm clock thing sounds injurious to my delicately balanced sleep patterns.

    Thank you for your kind offer-but the only time I like to see a cows rump is on a plate with chips and salad.

    Thought you pimped cows for a living,so we are in a similar business.{thats what BBO told me}

    We also use a lot of chemicals,so there is natural connection to our trades.

    I even thought we could do a job swap,But then i feared for my girls as you would for yours.{although yours dont have 4 teats]

    You may need to think more about your offer. As it may be you will be exporting more white powder then liquid.

    Plus don't you need a special permit for employing people from the Gat?

    So you don't think we are a chance against the Eagles, DF? If we did get up then, I believe we would hear your cheers over here .... :blink:

    Always a chance R and B

    it is not impossible that five Eagles players could have heart attacks during the game.

    I have no idea how the MFC has won six games in two years.

    Although I did enjoy them it would appear to me they were more by chance then anything else.

    Hoping there will be better days ahead in 2015 as currently we a equal last on the ladder and the only team we were ahead of on last years ladder is above us now.

    • 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?
