Like to add McQueen to that list.  
Conspicuous by his absence.

 

Did recall a single OD post in recent memory SWYL but the prolific posts of the past no.

    I vaguely remember old dee saying that he was going to have a break but then he posted for a little while after that

    A delayed break?

    I haven't seen Straight Sets Simon (formerly Clint Bizkit) for 6 months.  Hope he is well too

    He's fine.

    Suggest he's just not enamoured with the club or the current mess.

    Wow, a thread on me I don’t believe it. Physically I am fine the rest somewhat less. 
    the main reason for my absence is the AFL I daily find some thing I disagree with.

    e.g. This time last year a player knocks out Gus, ends his career and doesn’t not even get a reprimand and plays on in the grand final,  a few days ago Kosi bumps a pies player knocking him out by accident IMO and he gets 3 weeks. Once again the powerful get off and the less so are used as a deterrent.  Of course this  is nothing new for the AFL however the long term build up has got to me. Another example is the reserves competition, numerous byes, games played interstate and on the same weekend the senior team is in a different state meaning 3- 4 players cannot player that weekend in either team. Even the name is a joke the VFL that now has numerous interstate sides. 
    Add the woes of the MFC

    .It appears we have managed to turn a GF winner into an also rand in the space of 3 years. Now players want out with long running contracts in place. It seems to me a contact in the AFL is only as long as the player wants it to be. Sign up for five years then after 2 you want to go home and or I can see more money down the road. 
    MFC is falling apart the President has not delivered on a home and won’t any time soon on top of that she is presiding over a medical department that sent Petracca back on with a ruptured spleen etc resulting in him wanting to leave. He wants to play with a big club, tough you have a contract honour it. Obviously it was not a worry when you signed on for big money over a lengthy period. 

    Still no home! And there won’t be anytime soon. The Vic government is broke there will not be any money to develop Caulfield this decade.
    So here I am, over the last three months very disillusioned . Aussie rules has been a passion for me my whole life I hope I get the passion back soon. 
    In the mean time I have been busy with basketball watching my Granddaughter and going with her and my daughter to watch the finals of the Female A1 finals. I am really enjoying the basketball after an absence due to the closure of the Melb. Tigers from the NBL. No sitting outside in a Melbourne winter getting home after midnight.  There are things outside of the AFL that are good and very enjoyable. 
    Life is full of uncertainties so who knows what 2025 will bring. 
    In the mean time ladies and gentlemen enjoy life.

    Great to hear from you OD from one really old dee to another. Your points are so valid and I reckon most of this forum would agree with the issues that you have mentioned. So sad that there is so much corruption the AFL at the moment. Hope it can be wiped out. Cheers,mate.

    Thanks Bobby but I doubt it not while they keep picking chiefs from the old boys club.

    • 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.
