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 too busy self flagellating after our finals exit.

    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?

    • 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.
