GHOSTS OF THE PAST by The Oracle

The reason the AFL gives for this apparent aberration is Melbourne's poor form but that excuse doesn't really hold because Carlton is a regular feature on the Friday night scene despite recent inferior form to that of Richmond and barely superior to Melbourne.

Is the bolded part of this statement accurate?

2012 Carlton 11 W v Melb 4 W

2013 Carlton 11 W v Melb 2 W

2014 Carlton 71/2 W v Melb 4 W

I'm starting to get confident also

Dawes, Hogan, Watts, Garlett and Kent have contributed just 16 goals between them in rds 1-3, with many missed chances between them

Sooner or later they will get it together as a group and get us that winning score that eludes us

Dawes has missed plenty of chances at being a good footballer

Taking my girlfriend to her first game.

A filipina with no idea about the game, except it makes her boyfriend shout at the TV a lot.

Bought her a guernsey and hat so she can look the part, and looking for the membership tent to sign her up also.

I really hope we dont kok it up, or i have no chance of ever dragging her back to a game.

Where do the Dees fans congregate in an away game? My first game since we rolled the drug cheating scum in the night game a few years back.

Viv coming of 5 day break he'll be the sub, the rest coming of 6 day break, hard slog in the wet plus back to back travel, i hope we are not flat

To be fair, the conditions at adelaide weren't nearly as bad as it probably looked on TV. I was sitting by the fence and I didn't move the whole time, and my jacket was not overly wet. If anything it just made the ball greasy. Sure, it was a physical game, but that's how roos has primed us to play. In my opinion, the tiges coming off am easy game in Brisbane but in warmer conditions would probably be less ideal as a warm up, especially if tonight is wet as predicted.

If we can shut down their spread and turn it into a tough, physical game I think we will win and win well. But if we allow them to get wide and spread, with easy footy they will cut us up. They still have a lot of strength in their line up.

Really? I was sitting on the 2nd tier fence and I was completely saturated and my poncho was getting blown all over the place...

Wish I was sitting where you were sitting!

I was sitting on the 50 at the Bradman end. Sure, it was drizzling but it never got very heavy. Perhaps on the ground it may have been different but I was in the open. Besides, grounds these days absorb so much water before they become heavy underfoot. I don't see the weather being an issue at all for us from last week.

Great Samael. I think it was it your impassioned plae and clear eyed statement of this impressive stats in recnt games that got him over the line. Convinced me anyway.

Not being too dramatic i hope but big moment in the young blokes life. If he plays well might be the last time he ever plays at casey. I hope he starts on the ground (i expect he will) and plays a blinder. For what its worth (not much i know) i really rate him.

Are you going?

What the hell? The entire 3rd floor of the Riccuito stand emptied out, looked like the rain was coming in sideways. You must've been in the eye of the storm mate.

No. I can't see the games very well these days and spend most of the time watching the big screens. I buy my membership but usually watch it on TV. I get to the Casey games because the outer is a great spot to watch and I can see better in the open. Plus Casey have Bacon Rolls.

    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
