Thanks guys

Sorry I did not make it over for a game or two this season but I have been struggling to keep my interest in the AFL of late.

The Drugs issue has had a big part in this as I am so against the use of illegal drugs/substance and now the Essendon FC etc. in sport. Appears to me the AFL just want to sweep the issue under the carpet but only time will tell if the AFL is actual concerned about the sport/players or just making more money.

Youve missed the annual melbourne games that every good supporter never misses.

The Lions/GWS thrillers that ensue we come back next year for another gut wrenching.

Poor form froggy.

You are not alone DF

Many of us are at the point of no return as far as the AFL is concerned .

I had Paella for dinner at a restaurant on Thursday night and got food poisoning as a result.

Obviously an omen for Sunday's game because living through that was worse than the food poisoning.

Probaly cooked by some 21yo techno/phone/computer nerd who just went to the bog and didnt wash his hands,

Next time cook at home and the missus will think you are turning into a metrosexual and she will love you for another 2 years.

If you "pumping iron" like my good self WJ, you shrug off such minor ailments.

BTW. My personal trainer has resigned from the gym and the others apparently are not available. Bit odd really.

Anyway I'll handle myself for the moment. I'm making remarkable progress.

Biffen will no doubt correct me if my usage is incorrect but I do not think that "stuffed" is le mot juste . There is a far more accurate (albeit vulgar) substitute that springs to my mind.

"Pumping iron"? (which is not a noun phrase :-)

Rather negative DF

You need to get on the positive wagon right next to me.

On the wagon? So no single malt? Bananas only? :-) :-) :-)

For approx four weeks my Firefox browser will not let me connect to the MFC but Explorer will.

Do you think Firefox is trying to tell me something?

Or maybe Internet Explorer just doesn't give a stuff ... :-)

Thanks, OD. How is yours going?

Stalled R and B

From a combination of subsiding Anger and Busy with work.

I will get back to it though as my father told me a long time ago

" Never act in angry you always make the wrong decision"

Decided last night that composing in Cold Blood would probably be wise.

Sensible advice. Will be interested to read it when you're done.

Teeth

Beer - Hate the stuff but don't tell my family as they will find I am a foundling.

Pizza - YUM

Women - Have to ask permission from the wife first (Wait this is a trick question)

Fishing - Not into death sports

Golf - Sad day when my Father gave me his golf sticks as he could no long play

Crayfish - See above

Paella - No idea what this is but it sounds painful

Tea/Coffee - Is this the new Essendon Suppliments Program?

Curry - I think I have a picture for this somewhere.

Forgot about grandkids,{i must be getting ol...} - Where can I hire some from?

Teeth - Something Mike Tyson used to eat body parts with.

Maybe OD needs to update his version of Firefox and mine gives me access to the MFC web site.

I was lucky enough to hear the coach call the MFC players sub standard and believes they have given up for the rest of the 2014 season.

But to be fair they are not playing finals again this season so they do need to plan their off season activities and playing footy is only getting in the way.

Are we allowed to bring up the Casey Players for the rest of the season?

Maybe they will enjoy playing AFL Footy for a couple of games.

Apparently they are trying to put him on the train to perth for this weekends game.

OD has packed a food bag for him{packet of M@Ms}

BBO,has packed a suitcase{coles plastic bag}and the biff is on his way to WA.

Hopefully he will get back before round 1 next year.Maybe froggy could board him for the summer?

It's great to come on here and read it as it is.

    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
