I'm sure it's a fine shiraz OD but best put the cork back for a while.

My error Bbo

But looks like we will struggle with them as well.

I wonder who we will pick with no.1 in this years draft.

 

As a Demon Rock Chucker and an Opus Dei convert , you are allowed , nay expected, to [censored] yourself . Not an issue.

All that oily rag crap , poverty, chastity, humility. They can have it.

Man cannot live on bread alone. The odd bit of truffled llama in Shiraz Jus washed down with some Plonk helps.

The biggest business in the world should be able to soak up the expense account of the CEO.

Sell off the Sistine and get the party started I say.

The church could have done with a reformer like yourself Biffen. They missed a rare opportunity.

Although the Argy has probably washed down the odd Alpaca chop with some of the local brew. BTW if flogging yourself is a prerequisite then quite a few Demonlanders would at least get to the first cut.

I think that is the problem Bbo I have hardly had an hard drink in two weeks.

I think my alcohol to blood level have sunk to an a dangerous low level.

I will need a visit to DM's with card in hand tomnorrow.

That's the spirit!


How has Gysberts gone in the last 3 weeks, anyone know?

No headlines suggests to me he has been average Redleg.

If he had been doing well I would suggest there would have been a headline.

" Melbourne reject doing well at North"

But I have heard nothing, but I have not been looking either

I was just interested. I suppose we will get more info in the real season.

I checked the limited info from Saturdays game and no mention of him.

But not sure what you could read into that as 50% of the story was about ending the game half way through the last quarter because of rain.

PS Checked the North site and he was in the team so it would appear nothing special as no mention of him in reports

Just watched On The Couch and once again Sheahan had a go at Melbourne, saying Jimmy and the Board and the administrators were complicit in the tanking and should all have been punished. He was reminded that we were found not guilty by the AFL and said oh well.

I have now watched or read several media people have a go at us and in the same breath or sentence, totally ignore the other clubs that did the same. As a result I have come to the following conclusion:

"A large percentage of media people are gutless lackies and bullies."

Redleg, what did you expect from the trio who set the scene for the tanking investigation?

They didn't ask Brock McLean the one question that begged to be asked by any interviewer with a keen analytical mind. Their subject claimed he left because he didn't like the culture of "experimenting" yet he went to the club that made tanking an artform. That they didn't ask that question and now ignore Carlton's tanking over three seasons during the last decade suggests they are more than gutless or weak. They're rank hypocrites into the bargain.

Agree. They are also smug and that irritates me as well.

For OD....

Banana-Smoothie.jpgNow that should go some way to put a smile on OD's dial. ^_^

It certainly put one on mine. Gee it's making me thirsty.

Anyone else had this problem.

The stickers that came with my membership this year are de-laminating.

Colour is ok but after two months on the back window the top clear film layer has crinkled up

And has now started to lift.

I reckon they have another couple of weeks left in them.

Are you filled with glee Redleg?

Mate, if a banana smoothie won't do the trick, how about a bear hug, to snap you out of this trance?

Fwiw, I've always had trouble with the odd sticker. Our harsh summer always takes it's toll on stickers on window(s). If you have them on for more than 3-4 months they get baked on, or they de-laminate.

Not glee, but when I see 14 new players on the list, one next year who could be great, hear that our fitness is up, see the Coach fitting into his role more comfortably, note that the players gone generally added nothing, speak to guys like Neil Craig about our future, while not gleeful I am certainly more optimistic.

This morning I have walked past 50 cars with stickers some look like they have been on 10 years.

Not one de laminating H_T

So the remedy must be to only use our stickers inside out of the sun

All of what you say is probably true Redleg.

I will be delight if it improves matters.

But where it really counts is winning games.

When that happens I will believe.

Got my new season booklet electronically this year.

Works better than I expected.

God I must be older than I think.

Most of the players look about 15.

Good publication.

Anyone have any idea what a hard copy would cost?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
