Chocolates to boiled lollies, is there another team in world sport as pathetic as us. I'm now convinced that we will never win a flag in my life time. Seriously mentally weak!!!!!!!

Oscar Mc Turbo is In!!?

It is difficult to be at a footy match at the moment, with OMac selected.

Not sure if we can take another dependency ride on his incomparable idleness at a snail's pace.

It was an effort in score minimisation. His coaching performance against Richmond reflected a coach with zero confidence in the potential for a win. 

That says a lot about our leadership atm. 

Regretfully, the leadership is missing and the waning confidence is really the only thing we are likely to see, this year. Its consequences are already on the ladder and are there, to stay. We need to send out - right around the country - emissaries who work in tandem (for confirmatory purposes on a recruit) to identify and nab talent wherever it may lie. The profiles of a great recruiting drive are widespread but we can all imagine just what such personnel will possess - and what limitations they will exhibit. This needs to be matched with a more sustained and in-depth player development process including onfield exposure in our re-building processes and timeframe.

Never in doubt, ya muppet.

Childish response to a legitimate concern that lingers year in and year out. Two wins for the year is well under par for our Team and its playing stocks so an expression and encouragement for assurance or investment in the short-term future may reduce the stroke count significantly.

At any rate, I am delighted with the win today as are many who had earlier concerns of this game. However, one rainbow a successful year does not make and if left as an isolate, the short-term future might well look glum as well. My shame, by the way, is reserved for far weightier matters on occasion and cannot be judged by those pre-occupied with labelling theories. Good night.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
