Sadly I don't get to the ammos these days. My eldest grand daughter is into basketball so we go to that every Saturday. The be honest I enjoy that much more than the MFC these days. If it wasn't for the Dees I would have no interest in AFL. 

So life’s good spending time with a loved one while they are doing something they enjoy

    I don’t suffer fools old dee, they don’t warrant my time or response. Hope you’re going well and not to disheartened by the current situation we find ourselves in.

    I have my health, a roof over my head, a wonderful wife, sons who are turning into fine young men and the family overall are in a good place.

    On the footy side of things, what can I say, us older folk have seen this all before, whilst the MFC are currently struggling, it’s not all bad, I have a role that I love and keeps me busy, I occasionally get to watch my boys play and still regularly get to go to the Ammo’s to share good times, talk about old stories and a few beers with good friends. In a nutshell as bad as things may seem there are always positives.

    Keep the faith and enjoy your time with family and if you’re still getting along to the Ammo’s smile and enjoy 

    Oh god, kill me now. What a load of maudling sh##te

    INCORRECT, we are the oldest professional football club in the world.

    168 years old.

    And we'll be around for another 168 years - long after we are all forgotten.

    A proud club, with a proud history, with players who have given their all, even in the many barren years. 

    A proud club that deserves respect- least of all from supposed supporters.

     I've had it up to here with posters on this forum taking every opportunity to slag off the mighty dees.

    Well said Binman. Totally agree.

      I am so bored by the negativity on this site and general lack of respect shown to fellow DL’s that I find I am no longer enjoying reading the posts on here. Used to luv it, but now find it hard to get enthused to read them. I now resort to looking for favoured posters, but even these are often in battle with others. There are posters on here that I swear only come out of the woodwork when things ain’t so hot, just to sink their boots in. Never hear from them when things are good. I just don’t understand that. [censored] me, it’s just a game.

    Don't do that picket. So what if posters disagree with you. It's a broad church here. Plenty of room for dissenting opinions like yours.

    Nice one Binman. Many thanks.

    We have 2 living hall of farmers. Hassa  83 years old and neitta. Why would they attend.?

    Goody in as a player. He's a bit busy.

    Glad we didn't turn up. Left more space for Dane swan's associates.

    Never explain and never complain is my motto.

    Great work by Kate and Pert in not jumping hoops to satisfy some posters on here and lazy media types in general. 

    Go Dee's. I have us 8th after this weekend

    That's why I stay away from here after every loss, most posters don't have a backbone

    Welcome to my world, NC. 😭

    btw, you nailed it… there is a group of posters who only rear their sour heads when things aren’t going well. It happens too often to be a coincidence. As the saying goes: Misery Loves Company, and the usual suspects sure luvs them a good ol’ group misery-fest after a loss. These selfsame gloom-mongers call folks like me delusional. But I’d sooner be full of hope and enthusiasm no matter how we’re travelling than to be wallowing in abject wretchedness.

    I sometimes wonder who these people barrack for, since it clearly isn’t Melbourne.

    This is the greatest football club in the world. We should have a special system to keep ungrateful fans from ever being fans of the Red and Blue. I propose it in the next election .

    I don't come on much other than match days and a day or two during the week because of the foam that constantly spews out on these boards. If it's not outlandish sweeping negative statements about how [censored] we are, it's people who whinge about negative behaviour on here before it's even happened which is just as negative. 

    You want to go back to the times of just chatting footy? Find a few mates and text them regularly, that's what I've been doing. It's better than running the open gauntlet of garbage here day after day like a soap opera.

    How can you say that to @layzie Old Dee? Wasn’t it you who said, just a couple of days ago, that you’d had enough and were taking an extended break from DL? (Mind you, said “extended break” happened to last a good 6 hours!).

    Yes I did, funny about that. Good pick up. Some comments I just couldn't  resist. After the shambles of a game like  KB it pays to let your brain settle before moving fingers. I will probably go tonight even though I have less than zero confidence.

    Today I went to my grand daughters basket ball game. They won by 1 point. After trailing all game, the opposition led by 1 point with 10 seconds to go all they need to do was maintain position. With 6 seconds to go we stole the ball. Our  girl is a good player but not a good shooter. With all our hearts in our mouths she drove to the ring and straight in.  I have seldom celebrated more with parents etc. nothing the Dees can possibly do tonight will equal that game. By they way they are the Devils!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
