Winning is the thing where you have tiger blood and finish on a higher score than your opponent. I know it's been a long time since we've won anything, so I don't blame you for not understanding.

We won the coin toss on Saturday.

I rejoiced.

Kill me.

Imagine if you were the FOJ sponsor right now. The publicity you would have received would be priceless.

Late yesterday i had taken about all I could concerning AFL Football and the MFC.

So I made myself a promise that I would Ignore anything to do with the AFL and the MFC for 24 hours.

All was was going well till I picked up todays Hun and wham what a head line.

But I held fast and did not read any of the story ( that was really hard ), I avoided radio by listening to a CD when out in the car.

The result has been unexpected, I feel very calm and I have a new prospective on my liesure time.

You know there are 1 billion people in China who do even know that the MFC exists.

So I am now looking at the MFC in a new light.

DO NOT OBSESS

We are a football club that is towards the bottom of the competition in a number of areas.

So what I have had a lot of fun times as well as a lot of crap.

We may well be crap for the balance of this decade but i have been here before I know what to expect.

I find it hard to believe we will win on saturday in Perth but who knows the margin might be less than I think.

I get a lot of fun out of Demonland and the majority of you dees supporters out there even if as a football team we are very ordinary.

I cannot change what happens to the MFC, if it fails to exist in 2020 so be it i might not exist either.

The up side is enjoy life do not let the Bloody AFL get you down.

This club drains you so much that I actually spent time thinking it would be ok to finish last this year, as we could virtually rebuild our mid field in one draft. Imagine getting Viney with our 2nd round pick, the 2 best mids in the country with pick 1 and first compo pick being pick 2 and then say another good mid at 10 or 11, whatever that compo pick is. You really could become a top side if these kids became the basis of a new midfield for us. We are ok forward and back and in the ruck IMO.

I know we won't finish last but I just couldn't help thinking, one more bad year and then a decade of good years to follow, I could live with that.

Redleg you may get your wish and we will not need to tank either.

However we have no chief of recruiting who is going to pick them?

But then again it seems the chiefs of the last ten years have not set the world on fire.

Perhaps we are better of without one, It is hard to believe you could not do as well picking them out of a barrel.

Given his record of advising us who he would pick, WJ could do no worse than the paid professionals who have done the job for us.

Our head of recruiting for 2012 is Todd Viney. At a guess I think he will be doing the picking.

Just because he was a past champion Demon, that gives me no comfort.

Who is in charge of player development at the club, is it Todd?

Where did you get this info?

He is not listed as such on the MFC web site

Then again Greg Healy is not list as a board member either.

A strange calm has come over me.

Late yesterday I realised that we are indeed due for a very sad and depressing year.

So I have given up all expectations for 2012.

The only real thing to look forward to now is the trading period and Draft day.

With a bottom or near bottom finish, comp draft picks, and talk of new jumper sponsors in September and October

That should provide something to look forward to.

Of course it is also helped by the fact that I will be out of town next week so I can largely ignore that result.

The off OS for the next three games, in the good old USA you really have to look for AFL results to find any.

So bliss has arrived no more MFC for 4 weeks, that sounds like heaven.

I am off there next week and miss Cats, Hawks, Saints and Dogs games. Might not be missing too many wins.

As for your comment about the season being over, I think 2 games in with one at Pattersons against WC is too early to call.

Not sure what has happened but I have just checked the Newspapers, Radio, TV and Internet!

Nothing disasterous is being reported about the MFc.

What the hell is going on.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
