    If they were on bananas they would be good players.

    As usual the injuries start to mount, before we have even started. Blease is the latest.

    Most critical thing IMO is disposal improvement. We are very poor in this area and unless we improve, the rest won't matter. The next issue is our gameplan in so far as it relates to creating the loose man and forward setup.

    I smell a piece of banana bread with that coffee BB.

    I think he got offside with the Coach early on and that was it for his year.

    Anyone notice who was the Lions best player in both games and kicked a supergoal to boot?

    I tried but they were out of bananas. Not the first time it has happened either. I had a pineapple and lemon crush instead. Quite good too.

    Did anyone notice in the last 2 minutes of the North game, 20 metres out, right in front of umpire 15 Nicholls, who must have paid 10 frees to North and 1 to us, Sylvia slung to the ground without the ball by Majak Daw. Obvious free and a goal wins it for us. Glad it is only the NAB Cup. PS. I really feel that Dwayne Russell dislikes us as a club. Snide comments and failing to put things in a balanced way are noticable.

    It was clear tonight, if we had disposed better we would have beaten North. That would have to be seen as an improvement. As for Jordie, he does a lot well, but disposal is his weakness. He must improve in that area or IMO there is no pace for him in the side, if we are going to be any good. Spoke to Neil Craig at the family day and he thought in two years we could be a very good side.

    Yes I did predict both losses but thought we did reasonably well. But for the super goal we win the first match and of course Sylvia's miss from 30 out straight in front. Thought our disposal was as usual pathetic and our turnovers are what is costing us football games. Forward line too crowded early. Jordie's disposal tonight atrocious. Hogan looks good. I have no worries with JV. Pederson was poor, Byrnes ordinary. Rodan good. Kent showed some promise. Dawes ordinary. The 2nd game we were clearly tired and the Tiges ran us off our legs. We lost 3 players, came off a hot first game and played a fresh side. Jimmy good. Flash not. Joel Mac's disposal still hopeless. Watts a great night and Jones too as usual. We were entltled to stop and get smashed but we hung in. Too many hardly had a touch, like Howe, in this game. Not disappointed in our first hitout. We kept at it.

    I think tonight was my fault. I sent a whole lot of banana souffles around to the club for the boys and I think they over indulged.

    My heroes of the day Jeff Kennett and Garry Lyon. See the Footy Classified thread for futher info.

    We haven't had a countdown for a while so here goes, days to our first NAB Cup game: 1
  14. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I am actually expecting us to lose both games tomorrow, but just hope we can show something in game style and endeavour and some hope from the new squad. Although he is only young, I am really looking forward to seeing Hogan.

    Footy tomorrow. At last.

    Given we have been cleared of match fixing there should not be much to fear from the Gaming Commission. The AFL QC said there was nothing to support it in the report. So did ours. No one who works in that area in the club has been cited.

    Gee Old I would have thought this was a pretty good day for the MFC and its Board and admin.
  18. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Anyone know how Gysberts, Moloney, Rivers and Steph are going. I missed the Cats games. Did Jared play and if so, how did he go. Will probably see Gysberts on friday.

    Was there with WJ and the wives. It wasn't the heat that got me in the end, it was no banana daiquiris and bloody thumping rap music, that has given me one hell of a headache. WJ and me and the wives are now home, ready to join the tanking thread again.

    It wasn't my call, I am only a guest, probably a stinking hot sweating one at that

    Going to a wedding tonight in a tent in a backyard in 35 degrees. Will be sweltering. Hope the banana dacquiries are freezing cold.

    That is what Patrick Smith in the Australian has also said.

    I know this should be on the tanking thread, but I can't come to grips with us in any way accepting us being labelled cheats. There are just too many ramifications. I hope our Board is tough on this.
