    Doesn't make any different these days... Funny you mention it though...when there the other week I kinda had a think about that... Not too far from where we were set up was a building...with a rather tall thing attached.... A screen.. No one gets the 'glasses' out really any more it seems

    I think we did in some of the praccies... it was just to oobvious a ploy not to try I would have thought...silly us eh...

    Do you hold scheduled meetings...or just ad lib between yourselves...... asking for a friend....

    Curious that any think the Grundy "experiment " is even remotely done and dusted. How marvellous to be able to time-travel 4 or 5 years hence ...and see how it all really went. So far... so good.... much to play out 🤟
  5. 2022.. Dees coup - land AA Ruck for bargain bucks.. Nek minit... 2023 ... MFC...we roll......different
  6. Hope they find someone knowledgeable to teach that craft.. Reckon Grundy know more about rucking than Stafford knows about being a forward.
  7. The club has effectively said that.."spend some time" ... sounds like more than one game ( to me )

    Im a bit ...believe it when i see it... ( and by that...official ann... not so much a JCB turning sods.. ) Caulfield IS the middle of Melb.... ..very accessible. . In an odd way it might put to bed this idea we're all silver-tails... I really like the idea. Still keep some form of identity within the G... but get everyone/thing in one place.
  9. Yes...might....might give some context.
  10. Hmm.. I've been struggling with what this actually suggests ( i know some would add nothing new..boom tish...whatever )... but as you suggest TU it is far more likely about what it may BRING to our game than about any "dropping"... The FD are , to me, definitely trying to do something here thats a bit 5 into 4 and so something had to give. Theyve tried ( not altogether successfully imo ) to recreate some connection and straightness going in. It strikes me thar there may be a concious decision to ramp that up and the only way to really tell is to make these calls... revise the magnets...see what happens...not at traing but under fire. Think we'll have a clearer understanding when the team selection comes out. Im intrigued.
  11. Mute telly.... i do.. Find generic stadium cheering on YouTube..play low.... just to fill in the voud if like... I just listen with mute

    If only there was something somewhere in the geo centre of Melb.......

    Do you have a problem with reality ? I want us to win friday. For any number of reasons...but there are hurdles. If we don't it ought to set off alarms. But if we dont then we're going into sept with any number of questions upon us. For mine...we dont have a finals winning forward line.. do we even have one ? It's all very higgledy-piggledy atm.. even Goody says as much. Now's not ideal for experimentation...but here we are. Our defence is stellar... May it remain so. Our midfield is functional but not convincing. Forward line ?? take a number..auditions all week. You may think we're travelling ok. I dont. You deal with it

    Again ...i suggest someone got in on a false premise. Not just an empty PROMISE... but a fabricated premise. A good job our 'business' is sound these days.... the boardroom seems...well...bored.
  15. You win today....that's classic....bravo..
  16. beelzebub replied to Gawndy the Great's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Suns we struggled.. hardly convincing. Dockers....hmmm Giants....oh well

    I always get the impression the MFC board room has some bewitching quality. All who enter it become becalmed and content. Must be a cozy little gig for those so entrenched. Nothing really ever happens. After the sandwiches eaten and reds quaffed its down to the serious work ...of napping. Roffey was ALL about the new home...... ZZzzzzzz... Whenever a daring interloper raises their hand to mount a challenge amazingly the scurrilous memos and emails drop into our inboxes. The recalcitrant incursion is blanketed with the dare devil banished to Coventry. Its obviously more important to suggest something might get done....than do anything. That might disturb the nappers....so ..Shhhhh !!

    Curious ...why ? If we're playing Port it must mean they are the most in form team to finish 1st. We'd be playing them on their deck . Not nearly as keen about that as you :)

    Ahh.. the luck thing. Yes ...often a key ingredient in any venture. Lucky for them... no Oliver,no Fritta... and nothing resembling an on fure forward presence by us. It's intriguing that other teams manage "training runs" over lower placed competition... but we seem to struggle by comparison. Ww simply need to win this...somehow...otherwise they have it over us...and that wont be fun come September
  20. Interesting thoughts. Not sure we have sufficient players able to carry out a successful blitz at present. Happy to be wrong I can only suspect our ability to beat the Lions will again fall to our defenders. We managed a 'whopping' 12 goals the other night with Trac having a night out..he'll need to repeat that again....and have company. I expect we'll need to score in viciinity of 16-18 goals Friday.. and so it , to me, beckons.....from whom. Fagan will have set up big time for this game. He needs to banish the hoodoo and get his lads thinking the G aint such a bad place.... ( esp come Sept )

    It's always about the IFS though. That's not to be deliberately pessimistic or such It's just to acknowledge nothing is a gimme in sport. Fagans had our measure of late. Goodwin will have to be on the ball as the Lions wont hesitate shuffling the magnets to shut down whatever party tricks we intend to employ. We just aren't consistent or settled.
  22. If that's your long suit... we are in a bit of a bother ... no ?

    Probably time to rescind that peppercorn lease. Im sure anadept legal type could find a loophole. Silly of the Saints to [censored] off so many Baysiders...Though thats a very StKilda type thing to do...lol.
  24. beelzebub replied to Romey's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    So its Frankston stopping its use not StKikda ??
  25. Yes...theyve many more strings to their bow than the Sainters had. The game ought to be much more free flowing....cant see the Lions needing to think they need flood. Their defence has been pretty stingy too. Funny i thought we'd need to kick around 12 goals to beat the Aints...and we managed just that. That wont be enough to get over Fagans mob i feel. I truly dont understand how we're favourites going into this game...those odds ought to be reversed imo. Anyhow... good luck us....we're going to need buckets of it. Selection going to be interesting...again.
