Old dee,

I just think we need to go beyond the banana fritters and the like.

This thread started as a distraction at a time when everyone was going bananas at the thought of Voldemort jumping ship. Once we've played GWS and hopefully given them a shellacking, what purpose is it going to serve?

Quite obviously your mind is made up.

So have a nice night WJ

Definately Penski material.

Well. One could argue it is after all about something. In this thread we can identify the fluctuations on banana prices and keep a good track record of Redleg's track runners. Oh and there's a countdown clock somewhere showing the time to this years National Draft...importance personified.

Other than that, yeah it's tracking a la Seinfeld. But in this case there's no B$ ! Apparently.


Surely, there has to be some closure from this whole T$ thing at some stage?

What better time than after the GW$ game when we get the chance to see him in the flesh in that ghastly orange garb?

How about we extend the olive branch WJ, and instead of closing it, move it to general discussion, where it can continue on its merry way. It fits under 'general discussion' after all, given the nature of its content. And if Redleg wants it re-named or have the T$ taken out, we can make do ??

Si ?

Nice dc.

I don't honestly see trying to find a middle ground and satisfy all, being a killjoy or a sourpuss. Do you dc ?

moving it to the general board will be like putting it into an iron lung on life support

or, like sending your kids to Junior Boarding School

Why don't you 'pin' it?

No-one looks there and there are always around the 3 or 4 threads up there.

Inclined to agree there, too many timble weeds I suppose. Unless we merged sports and general boards.....food for thought anyway.

That's an option.

That's currently under review dc. Awaiting a consensus of sorts.

I think that during these dark days at the MFC it is very sad that the site cannot afford one thread that is light hearted

and does not take itself seriously.

We have a multitude of threads with people at each others throats.

that's good....it was always a bit of a BP type gamble anyway

You have won me. I am with you 100%.

If it helps, I can start a discussion about which other fruit the players like. I believe Watts likes cherries.

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

Yes it seems we do not have much luck.

I seem to remember that a couple of those we drafted knowing they would be out their first year.

Gawn and Fitzpatrick I think.

I do not take a lot of interest in the fortunes of draftees at other clubs Redleg

So I do not know if we are poor by comparsion or not.

but like you I think we seem to have a lot of bad luck with these guys.

PS you could have added Grimes to that list

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
