I am struggling to find something to be intolerant about grandchildren.

They are our future R&B

Now I have just got to work out how to make mine dees fans.

Just had a radical thought

We could start winning lots of games!

May that ever be the case. As for making them Dees fans, it is tough when the 2013 highlights are the last quarter of the home game against GWS, Howie's hangers and the first MFC women's match .... :(

Don't confuse the tanking outcome with the Essendrugs deal, they are poles apart.

One is an orchestrated deal on a breach of an AFL rule that was never proved and the other is the biggest scandal to ever hit the sport that compromised the health of players and is admitted.

Since when does positive matter DC?

If you can't be negative then you could try inanity.

Seems to keep everyone docile.

Redleg was complaining about talking utter Tird.

And he is a lawyer-a professional at it!

True and notwithstanding that some are elsewhere claiming we committed a "crime" the reality is that it was reported that two senior counsel gave opinions that the AFL's case against us would fail if it went to the Supreme Court. The problem was that it would have cost us a fortune in legal fees.

And in the end we were shafted by the AFL who punished us twice. The first time with the fine in the negotiated settlement and the second when it bowed to the pressure of the other clubs and refused to give us draft relief by way of a priority pick for the last national draft. We were entitled to the assistance on the merits but other factors deprived us of a proper consideration of our case. That's the AFL for you.

Yes and we bent over and copped said shafting with a smile. I hope those days of being a pizz weak stand for nothing club are gone forever.

Is it just me or is this whole Essendon thing sapping your enthusiasm for AFL level football in general?

With every passing day a little bit more gets chipped off me.

Once not so long ago I was an enthusiastic follower of most teams and games over the season.

Now I take notice of most things MFC and then little of everything else.

I would never have guessed bb!

I don't like seeing the AFL tarnished with this crap.

I have a couple of close Bomber fans and they are devastated at present

I feel their pain.

as you know I have family members who are Messy ones . This is not about them, this is about a club that seems to think it can operate beyond the fence and with utter contempt for all else ( arguably not alone..carlscum fit that description also )

Over the years I have tried to use the "Sponsors" of the MFC.

With limit success I have to report unfortunately.

My major success was iPrimus.

The not so goods were mostly either too costly compared to their competitors or simply appeared poor from my contacts.

e.g. I bought Kaspersky virus protection and it did not want to download properly onto my computer.

I contacted them and was told " oh we get a bit of that do you want your money back" .

Fairly quick resolution but I have often wondered why they did not try and fix the problem.

A couple of weeks ago I started looking for a new Car so I checked out the AHG dealerships.

I have been to the brand dealer I am interested in and so far the experience has been ordinary.

Not exactly rushed off my feet and their price is approx. $3000 more than a couple of other quotes I have had for the exact same car.

Doubt I will be buying from AHG at this rate.

I have a theory that because the MFC are not a "sort after Club" we end up with sponsors that are a fair way below the large successful companies.

Do we get the also-rans and subsequently get the same level of service?

Or am I just unlucky?

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
