Jazza/Red how are the boys looking on the training track?

My feeling is there will be improvement in 2015 but not too much.

Although I hope I am wrong as OD needs that premiership.

    Still think 8th not out of question.

    OD,is a major problem seeing the next flag.

    Although his secret trip to mexico for a full transplant of all internal organs went quite well.

    Blood transfusions from 16 yo virgins may even get him to live into the 2020 period.

    Not bad for a bloke who was born in 1848.

    I went last week and they looked in pretty good shape except of course Trenners and Watts nursing a groin.

    Hogan won 3 x 1k runs and looks just awesome. I have a man crush on him.

    Billy Stretch is slight and was also on a modified day.

    Petracca and Brayshw look ready to go with the mature recruits like HT, Garlett, Frost and Newton.

    They worked hard and the vibe was good with a lot of encouragement being given by players to team mates. I really believe there is a change in culture with most players from the losing culture having left.

    I am optimistic of a good year of improvement depending of course on injuries.

    I would love to see what Hogan can do in 2015.

    I am a bit worried people are putting to much pressure on him to be a super star from his first AFL game.

    Given our recent history I don't think people are expecting him to be a superstar from his first game. I am sure they would wait until his second game.

    Then again it may be just my usual sadness and despair that this time of year brings to me. I am sure dc is currently enjoying the company of a bluerinser and will have his choice of them tomorrow . For myself , even my family has abandoned me and I am destined to spend Christmas with the lads. They mean well but I cannot take them anywhere.

    Even friendless Biffen has his slags for comfort. But what of me? It is a cruel world.

    You appear to be crying out for help BBO, I suggest you spend some time with the good book, don't bother asking me which chapter or verse, just pick the bloody thing up and read from it, preferably in a sober state....

    Which, in particular, of the Marquis' works do you call "the good book" HL? I find them all both a comfort and inspiration.

    Compliments of the silly season.

    Just flicking through the last 600 pages here and wondering if the silly season ever had an end or a beginning.

    Jazza ,if you are going fishing, try having a shower as fish can smell the Bullsh!t from miles away.

    I am off to start some bush fires in Beech Forest with some CFA volunteer mates. We are going to be heroes if we can put it out.

    Nothing of any cultural significance there anyway.

    The land needs clearing.

    Col b- we missed that beer at the Bristol- she is all over as of last week.

    BBO. You have brought this Xmas solitude on yourself.Hope you enjoy reading the religious teaching of the Marquis. It is a tome written for the captive,solitary reader .

    Ethan - you are my fave gen y poster- keep up the [censored] taking.

    Red,WJ,OD. All the best gents and hope you are enjoying the festivities with your progeny.

    DC.Please give your urges a well earned rest today.It is a family time after all.

    The only stuffing should be in the Turkey.

    Frog. A picture paints a thousand words but if you could learn to write it would be a gift to us all.

    Hemlock. Your attempts to help the lost souls on here are admirable ,but ultimately futile.Carry on regardless.

    BJDEE.May you receive one today.

    Red and Bluebeard.Lay off the sauce mate.

    Earl. Stay safe and keep away from the Velvet Undergrads in Smith st today.There is a bad batch in town.

    Moonie - I hope you are over the trauma BBO has caused us all.

    Anyone else I forgot, see you at the Gat for a party tonigh.Top floor,up the back.

    Typical bloody cocky! Always thinking about yourself! What about important matters - such as the impact of rain on the Boxing Day Test?

    • 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.
