There is no doubt that I have over the last two years been slowly disengaging from the MFC

I no long have any expectation of winning, I went to less games in 2013 than 2012 I have been to one game this year and will not go until round 6 as I have other engagements and an interstate game this week.

I do not get angry with losses any longer.

This morning I turned on the computer and there were two emails from the MFC, as I was deleting them it occurred to me a seldom read emails from the MFC any more.

The human brains ability to block out painful things is a wonderful thing.

I suspect that if this year continues to follow the trend of the last two I will have stopped the hurt completely in six months time.

Gee we will have to begin "operation turn OD around".

    You need another hobby to distract you from the likely train wreck of the 2014 season

    Or eat more banana's

    OD the MFC was so bad it will take years to recover. Personally I believe there is nothing else that can be done until the team can substantially be replaced.

    Very sad news. Jockey Nathan Berry dies of virus caught while in Singapore. Condolences to his family and friends.

    The news is saying he was epileptic, but sad he passed away

    I am confident that the only remedy is winning games.

    start winning in 2015 and my attention will return.

    right now I am in the dwindling phrase.

    Sad but probably over due.

    I totally agree. Most of this team is well below AFL standard. We looked like a joke team against WC. It was totally embarrassing. This is beyond lack of development or psychological problems. It's simple lack of ability. Grimes can't kick and when he does it's straight to the opposition. Watts has some natural ability but is too much of a public schoolboy and not enough of a mongrel. Jones has little ability, makes dumb decisions, thinks he's big enough to break packs and constantly ends up on the bottom of packs. At least he is a great trier. The rest of them need to go and be replaced by some big, strong , aggressive men who enjoy the game and play to win.

    But how can the MFC win when its best players sit on the bench with long term or reoccurring injuries

    The team needs a rebuild of a rebuild etc...

    So lets not talk footy as its too upsetting

    How are the bananas going?

    An extremely good question DF the only answer I can give is It cannot.

    The only way forward is the replacement of at least a dozen players IMO. Also add Clark and Dawes who are not physical up to AFL level stress.

    That is going to take another two draft periods.

    I hate to say this but last years draft selections are going have to take up more of the slack in 2015 than they should or the last two years results will continue.

    However things are looking up I am having a banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch.

    Off to an amos game tomorrow.

    Good weekend ahead I expect.

    Dawes and Clark must be dropped at the end of this season.

    Anyone who can actually play 100 minutes week in week out will give better value at probably half the cost.

    Try and keep on topic or start your own wine appreciation thread on the general board Bitty. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. Anyway, you're a very naughty boy. Bad, very bad.

    Thank you.

    Pretty sure we already have a massive wines thread.

    After a round of golf at Apollo Bay last year, dropped off to the Hawks? Ground and watched them play against Otway Districts. Interesting battle, hawks home in a canter.

    Gillette would do ok down there as a sponsor....fair to say manscaping is definitely not in their repertoire.

    Entertaining slog in the pig pen in the middle.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
