Currently at 39344. Three loses have cooled the ardor somewhat.

Out. Spencer, Smith, Melksham maybe JKH In. Lewis, King, Pedo maybe Kent/Kennedy/Bugg In this scenario, Milkshake is unlucky because I thought he played an improving/reasonable game. Jkh is lucky because despite laying some tackles he didn't look like hurting the opposition offensively. Pedo must come in to provide another target up forward and do some ruckwork. Lewis must come in simply because we need him. King. His role will be to not allow the Essendon ruck to dominate. There are grave concerns about his match fitness but to rely on a stop gap ruck set up that involves tying up our currently most versatile and dangerous forward in Watts for large parts of the game would be crazy. This week delivers the most interesting and crucial selection dilemma in years.

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 5
Bitter but optimistic replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
So it seems jnr. I have wondered about this myself as you see it often in all games. I guess it will inexplicably have its turn as "Rule of the week" eventually. -
Gotta love Daisy. She may well have put her foot in the door for an expanding career in the media. She seems to be universally respected ( apart from [censored] like Nixon) and I certainly find her comments valuable and incisive . She provides a terrific ambassador for the MFC. I have to confess to a crush though - I have her pic on my membership badge and live in hope of running into in the members so I can get it autographed. ( I even carry a sharpie with me)

He has been reduced to the role of a pathetic and bitter sniper. Trying to get publicity through cheap shots like that - bah just ignore the fool.

Demon Injuries 2017 season
Bitter but optimistic replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Perhaps I put it poorly. I'm not underestimating the massive loss but when it happens during a game, structures are confused, players are in unfamiliar situations and with Watts rucking so much we have a glaring hole up forward. Whereas, going into the game without a key ruckman gives a chance to select/ set up differently. The Dogs did this very well at times. -

There's a big difference between going into a game without a recognised ruckman and losing your ruck during the game. -

Mav didn't look quite so ugly today. Must have had a hydraulic puller on the bun.

Had lunch with Biffen today. It's apparently good for the soul to mix with people from the more dubious social strata. Anyway Biffen chose the location and again it was a dingy little inn in some god forsaken backwater. Well the food!! It came either drowned in tomato sauce or needed to be, to mask the underlying "taste" Biffen, to demonstrate the sophistication gained from his recent Asian jaunt, created a scene. He demanded sweet chilli sauce Not only that but it had to be "Kan tong" or some such because that is "orthentic" FMD ! How humiliating!

Agreed bb - and far better than the alternative.

Fair dinkum Saty that is dead set funny! The reason I enjoy my reserved seat is because I can get up and go to the boozer whenever I like and know my seat is safe. The lady who has been sitting next to me for several years may disagree because I have spilt beer over her and her kids a few times. -
