Thanks guys

Sorry I did not make it over for a game or two this season but I have been struggling to keep my interest in the AFL of late.

The Drugs issue has had a big part in this as I am so against the use of illegal drugs/substance and now the Essendon FC etc. in sport. Appears to me the AFL just want to sweep the issue under the carpet but only time will tell if the AFL is actual concerned about the sport/players or just making more money.

Youve missed the annual melbourne games that every good supporter never misses.

The Lions/GWS thrillers that ensue we come back next year for another gut wrenching.

Poor form froggy.

Many of us are at the point of no return as far as the AFL is concerned .

I had Paella for dinner at a restaurant on Thursday night and got food poisoning as a result.

Obviously an omen for Sunday's game because living through that was worse than the food poisoning.

Probaly cooked by some 21yo techno/phone/computer nerd who just went to the bog and didnt wash his hands,

Next time cook at home and the missus will think you are turning into a metrosexual and she will love you for another 2 years.

If you "pumping iron" like my good self WJ, you shrug off such minor ailments.

BTW. My personal trainer has resigned from the gym and the others apparently are not available. Bit odd really.

Anyway I'll handle myself for the moment. I'm making remarkable progress.

Biffen will no doubt correct me if my usage is incorrect but I do not think that "stuffed" is le mot juste . There is a far more accurate (albeit vulgar) substitute that springs to my mind.

"Pumping iron"? (which is not a noun phrase :-)

Rather negative DF

You need to get on the positive wagon right next to me.

On the wagon? So no single malt? Bananas only? :-) :-) :-)

For approx four weeks my Firefox browser will not let me connect to the MFC but Explorer will.

Do you think Firefox is trying to tell me something?

Or maybe Internet Explorer just doesn't give a stuff ... :-)

Thanks, OD. How is yours going?

Stalled R and B

From a combination of subsiding Anger and Busy with work.

I will get back to it though as my father told me a long time ago

" Never act in angry you always make the wrong decision"

Decided last night that composing in Cold Blood would probably be wise.

Sensible advice. Will be interested to read it when you're done.

Beer - Hate the stuff but don't tell my family as they will find I am a foundling.

Pizza - YUM

Women - Have to ask permission from the wife first (Wait this is a trick question)

Fishing - Not into death sports

Golf - Sad day when my Father gave me his golf sticks as he could no long play

Crayfish - See above

Paella - No idea what this is but it sounds painful

Tea/Coffee - Is this the new Essendon Suppliments Program?

Curry - I think I have a picture for this somewhere.

Forgot about grandkids,{i must be getting ol...} - Where can I hire some from?

Teeth - Something Mike Tyson used to eat body parts with.

Maybe OD needs to update his version of Firefox and mine gives me access to the MFC web site.

I was lucky enough to hear the coach call the MFC players sub standard and believes they have given up for the rest of the 2014 season.

But to be fair they are not playing finals again this season so they do need to plan their off season activities and playing footy is only getting in the way.

Are we allowed to bring up the Casey Players for the rest of the season?

Maybe they will enjoy playing AFL Footy for a couple of games.

Biff released from the lock up today.

BBO and OD picked him up and drove him to the gat to collect his belongings{used toothbrush and 3 unused condoms.

Apparently they are trying to put him on the train to perth for this weekends game.

OD has packed a food bag for him{packet of M@Ms}

BBO,has packed a suitcase{coles plastic bag}and the biff is on his way to WA.

Hopefully he will get back before round 1 next year.Maybe froggy could board him for the summer?

Thank God for this thread with no BS. The other threads are full of it.

PP's. List rebuilds. Compensation picks. Essendope. Delistings. Changes to the team this week. etc etc etc.

It's great to come on here and read it as it is.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
