    The Kreuzer cup game appears to be the most costly in recent history. That win cost us Cotchin and Nic Nat.

    We have too many players who are not AFL standard. Our disposal is still poor. Our kick out plan doesn't exist. We need another 4 skilled mids.

    I have had a great 24 hours as well, dees haven't been thrashed today. Oh that's right Casey were done by 10 goals.

    Having just read some of the other threads on Demonland, I am extremely grateful that this one has not descended to the nastiness of a few of the others. There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked.

    Now if only our team could regain theirs'.

    Can't find any banana cake, might have to make do with some banana bread and a banana smoothie.

    Fear not, I am off to the GC for a few days and I know a place that makes great banana smoothies.

    Had a very small slice of carrot cake today, forgot how good it is. It is even better than the great banana cake.

    The problem is that the vibe/rumour is that MN has lost the players and if that is so, he has to go. BTW they play like he has lost them.

    Interesting article in the Age by Michael Gleeson, on Dees and Dogs. It shows that the Dogs have performed worse over the last 18 games and despite the extraordinary events that engulfed the Dees and their injury list, we cop it, while the Dogs fly under the radar.

    That was not what I was actually getting at, as of course Gys was pick 11 and not the bloke we all thought we would get. But then again we aren't as smart as BP.
  13. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I never understood why we seemed so desperate to get him. BTW how is Gys going at Werribee?

    Our football has destroyed my interest in the game for this year at least. I actually think I am getting numb to our performances. I thought there were several seagulls who played better than some of our players last sunday. PS. If the Coach had any positive input into getting Pedersen, Gillies, Byrnes and Rodan, then he has no idea of what is needed in modern AFL football.

    When you think it can't get worse it does.

    You are right I used the wrong instrument to attack BP. I stand by this comment however and am willing to look at any argument you want to put up to counter it, "BP is the main cause of our on field problems."

    I looked it up. We took Juice Newton and John Meesen, a totally wasted rookie draft. Newton went early and later came Barlow of Freo and Daw. Just these two players would make a huge difference to our side. A great mid and an exciting young Forward/Ruck. I know I shouldn't do this as everyone agrees hindsight is a wonderful thing, but Lewis Jetta went after Gysberts. You can blame whoever you like for our woes, but IMO, BP is the main culprit. With or without development, if MN had a few of these players, how different would our side be? We drafted abysmally for a few years, end of story. PS. The fill in recruiter Todd Viney will IMO prove more successful with his batch in one year, than BP did in several.

    Has anyone brought up Majak Daw yet? I recall at the time of the draft there were plenty of Demonlanders who wanted us to take him. Does anyone remember who we took instead? I would imagine whoever it is has probably already left.

    I wasn't surprised, I was just showing that people like Denham and Russell, have no comprehension in their Melbourne bashing, of any fairness, when looking at a timeslot and opponent, to guage support of a club. I recall Russell bashing us for getting about 21000 against an interstater on a sunday and remaining silent when the Power drew about 13000 on a saturday. I am just annoyed at the hypocrisy of some media people.

    Pretty strong GC outfit this week. Our side is far from our best. This could be another awful result for us.
  21. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    We have been given the graveyard shift this week again, like very other year, late on mothers day, against an Interstater. Denham, again showing his hatred of all things Melbourne FC, said this weeks crowd would show if we are being supported. We got over 20000 to both Coast and GWS while the mighty Carlton against us could only get 35000 with all of their members and supporters and playing against a local team. No comment from Denham or Dwayne the pain on that.

    What, my tinea cream has peptides in it. I thought my toes were looking unusually fit lately.

    Makes a nice change from bananas.
