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.

    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.

    Slot car racing is an excellent way to get your mind off the yearly annus horribilous of the MFC's last 8 years for a few hours...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
