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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
