As convincing and relentless as the off-season optimists are, i'll still be surprised if we finish higher than 16th. It's conditioned into me now

And was Je Roos Salem builded here

among the dark satanic DILLS?

You're saying you got 28/1 for that bet? Mate, you are kidding yourself. I wouldn't take 28s for us to make the 8, let alone with a couple of riders...

no way that is 28-1.

Jesse Hogan is already 17-1 to win rising star. Getting on that.

Top 8 is 15-1.

So to get only 28-1, he has been ripped.

He'd have to be. The show is only worth watching for Stewie and Brian.

MacFarlane should kill off Chris if he has the blood lust.

.

They're writing another dog character in already. They'll just replace him and move on.

Thanks for making me feel better and taking note of my newest screen name.

Even if we made the 8 but were banished to 9th like the Bombers because of an injection program, I'd still take 9th

Knowing AFL's even handed approach Vlad would fine us $500k and strip us of points for preseason tanking, or maybe even for our meditation (not medication) program,

Whilst I like threads such as these, and personally I'm always considering where we might finish next year at this stage in the pre season, the reality is that it's far too early to sensibly predict, even guess. We're not even at Christmas yet, and we have had a major overhaul in terms of coaches and players since October, many of whom are just starting to get to know one another's names.

By about late Feb we might start being able to get a handle on the way things are tracking under Roos, particularly now that we have some genuine midfielders to choose from and a midfield coach/mentor in George Stone who has a proven track record in teaching and implementing structures.

The ingredients look reasonable relative to where we were at 6 months ago, but IMO it's too early to say how quickly, and well, this cake is going to take to bake in 2014 and beyond.

But Roosey is very hands on at training, Wattsey is enjoying hinself, and Clarkey is out there giving the boys a boost, not to mebtion Hogesy. Top 4 for mine.

Well then that's even better not sure what I did wrong then lol

I don't really bet on anything so maybe that's the problem

Fair enough. I'd probably think about taking 800/1 - although the one I'd be most worried about is Melbourne making the 8.

I reckon that, although Hogan isn't a mid or a super good chance of winning the Rising Star, 17/1 is an absolute steal.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
