    Today I went to the football

    I have no idea why

    I need help

    Ditto. I did think in the last quarter that OD and BB made much better choices for the weekend ...

    Well my big weekend in Bendigo turned to nothing.

    Five of us getting together.

    Friday one was down with flu, one broke his arm Thursday night, third one had to visit wife in hospital after fall from a golf cart.

    Yes you are reading correctly she fell out of golf cart.

    So the two of us left standing called the weekend early Saturday morning.

    After some discussion we are all on for next weekend.

    There seems to be a bit of sadness around tonight did we lose on Saturday or something.

    Sorry to hear it, OD, but you know the saying -- there is always next week! :lol:

    It wouldn't surprise me if the new chairman posted on Demonland. I believe that it should be a prerequisite for any candidate to post here a minimum of 3 months before being considered for office. That and a ravenous desire to devour bananas.

    If by "here" you mean on this thread, then no problem. On some of the others, I think three months would be akin to a sentence for daylight robbery ...

    The problem is R and B none of us are getting any younger.

    We starting talking about this two years ago there were six then!

    It is on next weekend come hell or high water.

    I hope this not a omen but I will be in Bendigo next weekend!

    Sounds like it will be more enjoyable, even if we win by 100+. Any victory for us this season will be sweet, but soon forgotten; a weekend catching up with old mates will surely be something that lives in the memory for ever. Hence don't think of it as an omen, but the right decision.

    That's the spirit! The Dees certainly provided the hell on the weekend ... :blink:

    I had a serious car crash this morning.

    100% my fault, inattention.

    One metre further into the intersection and I think I would have been watching the Dees from another dimension.

    Everyone walked away ok.

    Puts the MFC in a different perspective.

    Never forget to tell your loved ones you do!

    Glad you are well enough to be at your keyboard telling us about it. It does put things in perspective though.

    Old Dee-you will have to stop posting in the car,and turn down the stereo.

    Glad to hear you are well.I think we discussed insurance on this forum once so i take it you have some.

    Daisycutter-a French philosopher once said"I would rather die young than compromise by eating Margarine".

    Hope you are running on all chambers/valves soon.

    I'm sure i'll go in a 4 cylinder and come out a V8

    I wonder if this might be a strategy worth pursuing for the current list? Would asada approve?

    Just a thought

    They tried that with Cale but the doctors refused to operate because his chest was too small and they couldn't find his heart.

    If worst comes to worst DC, perhaps one of my "lads" would make the ultimate sacrife and donate a valve. No guarantees of course.

    Glad to hear you're OK OD. However, if you were in another dimension upward there would be better things to do than watch the dees. If you were in another dimension downward, watching the dees would be the equivalent of eternal damnation.

    Glad to hear you are alright, OD. Certainly puts things in perspective. Good omen, I guess, as it seems that luck is on your side on the things that count.

    I hope it's not one of those old worn out "Blue rinse" porkers that voted for Jeff.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
