Adelaide  coaching staff gave Port the game. Sent ALL their players back, except wingers with 40 secs to go. Port had the extras at HB. Adelaide won the clearance and kicked it straight into the Port wall. Ball straight down the Port end, all in 20 secs! Port then kill the ball from the centre bounce, with numbers at the ball and run down the clock. Game over.

Ill let you in on a little secret method of enjoying life a lot more...and keeping your heartrate lower.  Stop worrying about the Dees.

Im sure some will see this as heresy but ...detach. 

Ive followed our Mighty ( and not so mighty ) Demons for well over 50 years since hitting these shores. There was once a time my whole demeanor...my happiness...my outlook balanced on the fortunes of the Red and Blue.

And the a lightbulb monent ..not all that many years ago ....they dont matter. Not in a real way. They dont pay my bills ( quite the opposite ) they don't do any work for me, they provide very little real satisfaction (over time ) .... it's just footy... theyre justca club. The one i chose and stick with. Apparently they owe us nothing...and i understand that. In return I follow them. Go to games im interested in... don't clash with something else that will give me pleasure etc ( eg am off to China with family and friends..will miss the Pies..maybe a bar in Beijing...if not...not fussed )

The real point is....nothing I can do actually affects a change of outcome. I most certainly want us to win. Id love a flag. Not me that will do that.

So ....Dee-invest of yourselves. Enjoy life.. unshackle yourself emotionally from it...Just....be you....in Red and Blue....or Jeans and a hoody....or fav Tweed jacket lol

So why worry.....be happy

Go Dees

God, i'm gonna miss you Beelzebub........almost like listening to my imaginary psychiatrist.....

Rance is a d bag of the highest order. Brown takes a good contested mark in first qtr and Rance tries to slam him as hard as he can into turf. 

Don't you know? He's frustrated according to Hamish and his [censored] mates.

It is refreshing to listen to Fox Footy  as it isn't ad nauseum fluffing of Dusty, Rance and Captain Cotch.

Haha I’d be frustrated if I was him as well... life couldn’t be so frustrating. 

Glad the Mothers Day lunch I’ve been cooking is ready and I’ve turned it off.

He’s had an average few weeks. He’s started to start playing Hollywood style and ignoring the defensive part of the game. Literally stands there and watches opposition run off if he doesn’t get fed the ball on a platter. A mile off his 2016-2017 form.

I am tending towards the theory that the inaccuracy reflects the pressure of the game but I am unable to explain the seeming growth in the level of inaccuracy from set shots other than to suggest that the modern game shares the set shots around a little more than the past where it was dominated by dedicated forwards.

PS: Of course as I post that Geelong kicks 2 and their goals to behind ratio is not quite as bad

You know, watching all these replays of the umpire contact, I have been thinking that whilst I don't condone any intentional agressive behaviour towards umpires, the umpires also need to get out of the face of players and out of their personal space a bit.  Thought the May incident was almost accidental and that the Carlton one was more just a natural almost instinctive reaction of someone intruding on another's personal space.  Really don't see why the umpires should have been as close to the players as they are in these instances.

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
