I am positive in most things but the MFC is a totally different kettle of fish.

There ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is the thing we do first class.

    Some never miss a chance to be first in with the gloomiest interpretation of anything.  I expect it is some sort of primitive magic where by stating the pessimistic view, it is hoped that will prevent it actually occurring.  Or maybe they are just genuine pessimists.

    I am an optimist except when it comes to the MFC when I am more of a realist!

    Yes, and if I didn't have double kneemonia I'd be genuflecting as well.

    Funnily enough I'm the opposite. Generally considered a pessimist, but I'm an optimist when it comes to the MFC.

    Why ? What is it that the  MFC does that makes you positive?

    There’s a fine line between optimism and delusion.

    I vaguely remember that when he left it was family reasons, and therefor considered a private matter. I guess when you’re a football nothing is really private. I hope he and his family are ok during this tough time.

    Would you prefer to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong, or a pessimist who is always right? ?

    Think of the joy experienced by a pessimist when they are occasionally proven wrong.

    Unfortunately the pessimist will say it won't last long or they will find something else to be pessimistic about.

    When it's something over which you have no control - optimism is the only rational position.

    Per Alan Richardson his mom passed away. Funeral late Feb / early Mar so It'll be a few weeks before he returns. Condolences to the young man and his family.

    Really sad about young Kozzy. Condolences to him and his family. As Richardson said, we are extremely lucky to have Mathew Whelan as a guide of support for Kozzy. The beauty about is that he's still training over there I'm guessing with a SANFL club.

    Great opportunity for the likes of Bedford, Chandler to stand up.

    Makes sense that there are rumours about offering Kobe Farmer a spot on our list.

    Dazzle can you explain the link between Kossie being absent and the rumour of Kibe Farmer being offered a spot on the list?

    Condolences to Kozzie and his family. Look forward to seeing him return once he’s ready and not a moment earlier.

    @Dannyz mentioned on here that Kobe has been offered a spot on our list. Just pending an announcement soon.

    Yes I know, but you seemed to link Kossie's situation with Kobe's possible promotion.  I don't get the connection and was wondering what it was.

    Kozzy went up to SA about 2 weeks ago. It only came last week by Dannyz that it was pretty much a confirmation that Kobe has been offered a spot. Some people on here who have watched training would say that maybe Deakyn Smith was ahead of Farmer. But to Kobe's credit, he too has apparently trained extremely hard, and if he has made the squad, it'll be off the back of hard work.

    Hearing Richo say that Pickett may not be due back to the club until March means he'll be away from the club for over a month. While I'm sure he'll be training with with WWT in the SANFL he'll still need a few weeks to catch up to AFL fitness. In fact I personally think this puts him in doubt for round 1. I'm sensitive to Pickett's current situation due to my current role working with a lot of indigenous family, and the mourning process can at times extend further after the initial funeral. I'm glad he's getting the right support and me personally hopes he takes all the time in the world before he feels comfortable coming back to Melbourne. 

    If Kobe's training form been strong as documented on here then I'm sure they'll look at him over the trial games etc, and who knows? Maybe he pushes his case for round 1?

    In saying that though there has been no confirmation at all about Kobe, so it's all speculation.

    • 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?
