Well 2019 has closed and we are once again looking up from the bottom. Having got that negativity out of the road I am staggered at the amount of poor / pointless rubbish on Demonland at present. We have thread after thread of negative crap the majority of which has little if any grounding in fact. I feel this thread will once again be the only one worth reading.

Bananas are good at the moment, just had a banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch.

    Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Though that LBW appeal by Lyon in the dying stages was as plum as they get

    It was and only MFC type luck, they used the last review on a certain failure. Captain admitted Cummings told him not to review, as it was a certain not out. 

    And Lyon misses a stumping he wouldn't have missed since he was in kinder, with Leach half way down the pitch, trying to get back.

    I'm not a big fan of the 2 reviews each per innings. If it's a howler, it should be corrected, regardless. And don't get me started about how the umpires stupidity won the one day World Cup for England.

    But yes, we had many chances. I like Tim Paine, but his lack of experience shows.

    BBO assured me we couldn't possibly lose at start of play yesterday...

    He is a drunk, what would he know? He should stick to self flagellation in his dungeon at the Manor.

    I hope the injuries don't affect our game next week.

    Who are we playing in our first final?

    I have worked long and hard to reach the peak of this honourable profession Red - I would appreciate you not commenting on it in a disparaging manner.

    As to your vulgar suggestion as to how I should spend my (not drinking) time. I'll have you know that it is the maid who benefits from my considerable flagellating skills!

    As a Dees supporter, I appreciate the benefits of a drink or two.

    I am so disillusioned with footy and our season, I have already stopped taping the 2 sunday morning footy shows.

    Still taping the rest during the week, in the hope there is a good trade rumour for us.

    Mr Leg I fear you have slipped into a serious case of depression and a visit to a specialist is now over due.

    As for watching " tv footy shows" I fear that maybe your biggest problem.

    You must believe they will offer words of wisdom or similar. 

    Sadly I have to advise you that they probably the root cause of your depression.

    i have two suggestions that I believe will help.

    (1) do not watch TV footy shows.

    (2) Aquire a taste for good single malt, It will help to get you through the bad days.

    Depends on how many scotches you (or they) have had.

    After a few more, elephants fly as well.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
