I can see us putting up a good fight in the first half and then getting run over, with the Bombers 14 day break over our 6 day break being a big factor. After the battering the players copped I am sure their effort will be AFL standard, I am just not convinced with their talent.

Sickened to see how right I was, even though I understated it.

BP has destroyed this club.

    I recently saw that the Burwood Boy was casting nasturtiums on my Alpacas and calling them camels. Well they deny this allegation (despite disreputable scientific evidence to the contrary).

    They see it as an issue belonging to the distaff side of the family and don’t wish to become involved – Those nasty spitters are seen as the black sheep of an honourable genealogy.

    Keep those malicious comments to yourself. (You know who are and should be ashamed)

    An honourable genealogy hah, the bastard offspring of the common vicuna

    Only a sadist like my dentist would keep alpacas for his indulgence (my dentist does have alpacas)

    So you have exposed youself ( as it were) DC! However, you go too far mentioning the vicuna - they are sneaky little bustards! I'll have to ensure that lads don't read this.

    Dentists are also sneaky bustards and should be avoided.

    What about urologists and proctologists?

    Good points. Actually DC has commented on his proctologist. I hope he had hands like Mike Tyson. However, I'm now feeling uncomfortable Redleg best leave this conversation alone.

    My chiropractor is manipulative.

    My accountant is very calculating.

    Now the Media are calling for the AFL to take over the club.

    Let's examine that. A financially sound Company, that has assets and makes a profit, run by a Board that is elected by its members, is taken over by the AFL, because it lost two sporting contests, Oh yes I can see that happening.

    The club asking the AFL for help, well that is a different matter.

    On a lighter note, Black Caviar's little brother just sold for 5 million.

    I wonder what insurance on a gee gee like that would cost?

    Generally a premium runs to 4% of insured value of a racehorse. Different for stallion fertility or mares in foal.

    I now expect calls from the media for the removal of the Bombers CEO, for presiding over the biggest scandal in AFL history. Secret contracts for injecting players. Young players being injected with unknown substances via the stomache and now awaiting suspension from their sport. An inability of the CEO or club to tell those players what they had been injected with. Clearly worse than the loss of 2 games of football.

    Come on Robbo and Connolly lets see you attack the club you support. Lets see the media attack Robson.

    That's why a lot of people don't insure their horses. I know breeders who don't insure, as they think the worst that could happen is they have one claim. The premiums may be bigger than the claim, so they "self insure".

    Strange feeling tonight.

    Five years ago we were a basket case

    Then JS and CS came in as a team to save the club

    The debt was extinguished and the rebuild of the team started.

    We had lots of early draft picks and the way ahead looked good.

    Now here we are in a worse spot than before they started.

    Sadly the dream died a year or two ago.

    I saw that the only way forward was for CS and DM to go.

    The first half has happened and the second will probably happen before 2013 is over.

    But tonight I feel nothing but sorrow.

    How could such a noble and worth cause end this way?

    Life sometimes really is a s--- sandwich.

    Could be an interesting MFC Board meeting in the next day or so.

    Don looked tired, worn out and extremely uncomfortable at the CS presser. He may be about to walk, feeling he has done all he can.

    Yes Redleg pity we will not hear any of it.

    I suspect that some board members tapped DM on the shoulder monday night or Tuesday morning

    Something major happened between his piece on the web site and yesterday afternoon.

    It was a 180 degree turn.

    I know nothing about DM the person except what I see on TV and at the AGM

    I think he is probably a nice guy who ended up as the President because of the health of JS.

    Probably never wanted the job.

    Unfortunately he has been the chief when we have spiralled down wards to the current low line.

    He looked a broken man yesterday, worse than CS.

    Only a matter of time before he moves on IMO.

    • 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.
