Took an old friend out for lunch on Sunday

Had a very lovely time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon...Great conversation ...a few drinks....Solved the worlds problems....She is a very funny lady...

Not once did I think who was winning the footy or really care.

Checked the scores when I got home but didn't really care

There are a lot more things to do on a lazy Sunday than stress over footy these days.

Agreed. It's just not what it used to be. absurd amount of injuries rubbish, inconsistent umpiring constant rule changing and softening of the game we have subs now yeah OK might as well change th

I like many others went to the G last week and left before the end of the game. Now into my 8th year of torture as a supporter of the MFC, 35 years as a member. I wonder how many supporters of this

Just tell him what my dad used to tell me - you can barrack for whoever you want but if it's not Melbourne you sleep outside.

Could not agree more Bossdog

Change took an old friend out for lunch with went to windy hill and the rest is the same.

Took my radio and never turned it on.

As I was leaving the ground I heard someone say Dees lost which was hardly a surprise and did not check the game reports till Monday afternoon.

Sad but a sane way to spend ones weekends

It feels good to switch off from it.

I was at my sons under thirteens footy game sunday, they won by eighty points and he kicked a goal and was named in the best players.

Didnt even think of the game against GWS till we got home, and the result didnt worry us too much because we had a great day together.

Much more enjoyable than AFL

Gone are the days when i rely on the dees to provide any sort of happiness, if it comes eventually , then well and good , i will enjoy it.

Is he free this Saturday afternoon? I know a team that needs a player who knows how to win.

I have to go on Saturday afternoon to a reunion of all my girlfriends relatives and extended family.

I never thought you'd ever hear these words uttered from my mouth - I am looking forward to it because it is a legitimate excuse not to go see us play.

edit - on reflection, we can still stink it up a lot more before the reunion will be more appealing.

Almost exactly what I am doing nutbean.

We were invited last week to a function at short notice, my wife asked are you going to the footy?

I did not need to answer my look said it all

I coach my local u14 side which both of my sons play in. We won 122 to nil last Sat.

My eldest boy is a good chance of at least training with the Falcons u15s next year depending on his attitude. My interest in footy has change and my love of the game is different.

The dees are the ex girlfriend that I gave my heart to only to have it walked all over. I can't help but take an interest in her but the sight of her cuts deep.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
