They’re going around in circles. 

Happy circles?

We should have such a bar circle for the last half century WJ!

That's right... they are doing stuff with the club. trying things.   They do not rest on laurels, nor sit on their hands.

What have we done in the past 50 yrs.  zippo... we've talked about this or that, and done SFA.

Exactly, 'OD'.

 

But the responsibility lye with us, the supporters...  for our she'll be right,  near enough attitudes...  to our electing boards of past generations... simply following the recommendations emanating from the North side of the 'G'... 

 

The conservatives have been rootin' the club for 55 Yrs. simply by being too nice... and too shy, too negative in thinking the supporters will support big major decisions. 

We have been waiting to die since the mid 60's...  by just waiting on our fait..  thankfully not 'accompli'.. Yet.

In that case, perhaps you can have a long sojourn from March 23 to September 29.

I prefer to save my countdowns for the draft.

You wouldn't be the first to want me to take a long leave of absence.

I know what you mean, my past wives and mistresses suggested the same thing.  Really a win win.

A leave of absence since July 61 would be viewed as very long Ernest.

Same one DF, just sceptical when it comes to the last half century ramblings of new homes. Seeing is believing. The team is doing much better easy to see. We are in for a good decade.

Your almost as old, creaky and dusty as me OD.

As Leonard said to Marianne, i'm just behind you, if you stretch out your hand I will touch it. 

Hopefully plenty of celebratory single malts this season.

I was born a far bit later than 1899 Ernest.

Well they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or is that abstinence?

My God DF who would want to live for 117 years? Certainly not me, figure I have 7-8 left trying to enjoy that lot irrespective of the MFC.

So should we do a poll?

Would 8 premierships in the next 8 years cause OD to:

a) get a new lease on life and live for the next 15-20 years?

b) see the first 3 cups, then get palpitations from all the excitement (regardless of the lack of a social club) and happily turn his toes up, with an enigmatic and everlasting smile on his face?

c) live out whatever timeline is destined, regardless of MFC successes?

Looks like the best option to me Ernest. That is actually what I am doing, MFC is an enjoyable part of my life but nowhere  near the top of my enjoyment lot.

When it comes to life span bjDee what we desire and what we get is usually different. A bit like following the MFC. I only want to live as long as I have a reasonable quality. If that is 8 years so be it if it is 20 than great as long as I can get around under my own steam.

Very balanced OD.

I feel the same way, although if MFC enjoys a sustained period of success and wins a flag, this may change!

I now have moderate desire where the MFC is concerned. I have already settled for a "sustained period of success" Ernest. If a flag comes along well and good but it is not compulsory to me any longer.

Hopped in the lift at work with Junior and in came Adem Yze. Had a little chat and told him that IMO he was one of the great hbf's of the Dees. Brought a smile to his face and a very humble thank you.

For the first time in years, I’m really looking forward to the season with vigourious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see how well our boys will do this year

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
