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.

    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 :-)

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
