    Good one HT I like it a lot.

    Hope you had a bet on Iconic Princess who won at Geelong today and Man of Magic ran 2nd at Ballarat Wednesday at his first start. When I am away they do well. IP has now won 3 at Geelong on the synthetic.

    No redleg I did not know they were your horses.

    But that is the story of my punting life.

    Unfortunatly it is still a better story than my success in following the Dees

    Go Sydney, go Carltank (simply because I want Sydney to knock the Aints out in the finals) and most importantly, go Tiges so we can drag out this old chestnut...

    Just had a Hungry Jacks egg muffin and they are not as good as the big yellow M variety. See what this team has done to me, I am writing about breakfast muffins. Oh how I long for the days of the Banana Smoothie.

    Well that is it for 2011. Just to add the icing to the cake, the game cut out on my recording 2.5 minutes from the end. Trade and draft week to look forward to.

    By the way, were the umpires paid employees of Port Power. 28 frees to Port and 13 to us, 6 goals to Port from frees and at least another 2 goals to Port after a Dees free was ignored and a Mark of the Year contender to Howe 10 metres out not paid and then a goal to them on the rebound..

    Well I guess that brings another wonderful season by the MFC to an end.

    And what a wonderful year it was.

    We played on average a lot worse than 2010, 6 - 9+ goal losses vs 2 in 2010.

    We got thrashed by the age old enemy.

    We went into the record books with a 186 point belting.

    We sacked a coach during the year.

    We ended the season with losses to Richmond and Port.

    Our Captain was next to useless for the majority of the year

    and the vice captain could not make the side for the last round through poor form.

    At the finish 13th on the ladder.

    Yes all in all a wonderful year.

    But in true Demon fashion there is always next year and the next year and the next year and the next year!

    If not for the fact that we let Junior go in a messy way, we would be seriously looking at getting rid of our captain and vice captain. Wont happen, but on form it should.

    Its basically I think yes and I think no and that is how it has been since it started. Lot more info on this thread such as horse racing, bananas, frustration with the Dees.

    speaking of which what is the current price?

    believe it or not I had some for fathers day breakfast.

    Present to me by my daughter.

    We had a good laugh when I said Redleg would be impressed.

    They Looked at me as though I came from Mars.

    It took some explaining.

    Then Perhaps I do!

    I know what you mean. I get funny looks when I say to someone I post on a Melbourne FC fan site and enjoy reading it.

    I think bananas are about $9.99 a kilo at the moment.

    Not sure why it is assumed you have to be under 30 to post on a web site.

    Well my present was a bit more expensive than I thought.

    Never thought I would see the day when Bananas would be top of my wish list!

    I've been an administrator of this site for almost six years, and the first time I ever actually told anyone about it (most who know me well figured it out) was about six months ago. I felt like such a retarded dweeb. Will never do again.

    I know your pain...

    My name is rpfc, and I post at Demonland.

    Hello rpfc...

    You have family and friends who love you.

    Maybe Demonland should have a 'Beyond Blue' sticky thread...

    I don't tell them about this per se - say I'm a member of a MFC supporter's group. Much less cringe-worthy.

    I just tell people I'm addicted to meth.

    Much less stigma attached.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
