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

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!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
