Ever the pessimist, I have no confidence about a win tonight.

I can’t wait for the umpires to pull out a performance of the ages.

I just see everything going wrong for us.

Wish I had a different mentality and love to be shown wrong.

Real name revealed at last!

    Oh the salty curmudgeon has reappeared.

    Ok I held a Tribunal hearing and in typical AFL fashion, went against the evidence and made up a decision.

    I have banned my self for 7 minutes.

    I will not appeal, as Carlton lawyers are unavailable.

    Just the other day I had the option of salty curmudgeon but went with the pastrami sandwich instead.

    Red, do this thread a favour and ban those [censored] emoji illiteracies !!!

    Oh ..... also ban yourself for using one.

    But that would just make them illicit illiteracies. An illicit illiterate is basically our opponents tonight.

    I'm alarmingly relaxed about this game. Positively oxymoronic in mood.

    Whatever happens, I suspect we'll see them again in a few weeks, if you take my meaning.

    Yes and I am not enjoying it.

    We really have thrown away a great chance at another flag, with a problem we have had for weeks and weeks, poor goal kicking accuracy. Additionally, a failure to go defensive in the last 2-3 minutes and flood the backline, is a blight on our coaching and leadership.

    We were in a PF with 1 minute to go, what a complete lack of understanding of the situation, we showed.

    FMD !!! As soon as I sort out some staffing issues at The Manor I shall give my full attention to this thread.

    I am considering mounting a coup against Redleg who is failing to provide any direction or leadership.

    I am happy though to join your coup.

    Do you even know how to coup? You can’t coup yourself! It’s not a coup if you’re joining in to overthrow yourself. Silly bugger.

    The Ox was first speaker. Told some stories about his gambling mishaps- funny and entertaining…. but the message was clear. 
    Terrific speaker and entertainer!

    Plenty of casks I hope.

    Should I send the horse and cart to ferry you home to the manor, when the casks are empty?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
