These bastards hijacked the news coverage for our first win of the season, and Jonesy's BOG match. Just another reason to hate Carlscum!!!!

I saw the news crews filming the team at recovery yesterday but didn't see anything about it on the news.

How refreshing not to be the bad news story at the end of the weekend

I really hope we can put a couple of wins together and have a half way descent season

Just cant beat doing Carlton and watching their club implode

timing; its too soon to sack a coach.... especially when its the off field club leadership that's the hack weak link.

kernal_haan should sacrifice himself, fall on his sword, commit harri-kirri, step down, excuse himself, sing the chorus to Mamy Blue, micks lead.

:cool:

At least MM gets to work with men like Barry Prendergast-two men at the very peak of their decline.

It's just one of the silliest phrases I've seen!

Simply doesn't work.

Even the "trough of their decline" would then indicate you expect inprovement from here.

You cannot inprove on perfection Machsy.

You might suggest to Hemmingway that his work is a bit sparse.

You can improve on gibberish though.

I've not read much by Hemingway, but I can still spell his name correctly.

Anyway, back on Carlton...

I recall in recent years many people lauding Judd for his leadership and I could never get my head around it.

Yes, head leads by example. He sets an amazing example.

But there's so much more to leadership than that, and I think Judd falls down in a lot of those areas.

Heroic and spectacular acts on the field are just that.

Others may get a lift from these acts, but I don't see that as providing great leadership.

That's just playing footy.

Malthouse now discussing Carlton on FC as being the quietest footy club he's even been at, would seem to be testament to that.

That and maybe also their recruiters being shy of selecting another loudmouth troublemaker like Fevola.

I actually was quite impressed by MM's press conference after the loss, he made allot of sense, we did do some things right and won the game, but their hard ball gets were up there and if we had at any stage not stuck fat to the plan they would have come over the top of us. They couldn't buy a goal but we played well and they were under pressure going for goal. Not that I like MM but he was pretty sensible about it all.

What is very obvious is that MM is now firmly in the sights of the Media, and is the coach they want to 'get' this year. MM is going to be offered up as the necessary sacrifice by the media, regardless of whether it is deserved or not.

I of course love that the plebeian rabble has chosen Carlton to dwell on and not us, my hate for them remains undiminished.

I particularly like the way he discloates the shoulders of defenceless blokes on the bottom of packs. We should all emulate this maestro.

Spoke to a guy runs a store around these parts, very staunch Carton fan, always laughing about Melbourne whenever he gets a chance..........he didnt know where to look when I asked him about the game on Sunday morning....he was genuinely hurt and embarrassed and his face was red.... I didnt let him off the hook for at least 10 mins and I intend to keep reminding him about Melbourne for the rest of this year and well into next.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
