    Where on earth do you get the idea we are doing it properly?

    Me too Bbo.Oh to be ninth of tenth on the ladder and consider you have a chance of winning half the games you play. Sounds like heaven.

    We are all forming our opinions from the outside and I have tried for the last 29 games to give MN the benefit of the doubt.Add IMO that I believe we have the worst list in the competition by quite a long way and it is no surprise to me that we cannot win games. My problem is I see little effort from the players in most games and the players seem absolutely lost. From the first bounce they just look like they have not got a clue what they should be doing. Those two things suggest to me there is disconnect between the players and the coaching team. I have been of the opinion prior to last Sunday that the majority of our players are just not up to AFL standard Hence the constant losses but now I am seriously considering the players have no idea what is expected of them when they hit the ground. Unless there is a big change by years end we cannot go on with MN . Without hope we headed for extinction. Currently that is what I feel No Hope and I am sure I am not alone Of course it could all come to a head this weekend. A big loss / little effort like last weekend and my view will be what do we have to lose. It will be time for change.

    Because we shoot ourselves in the foot at every turn Redleg.Tanking, sacking our ceo a few days after saying he is doing a good job, saying Dank not involved and it turns out our doctor was talking to him and captain may have used a banned substance. Insipid performance like sunday. The list goes on. Contrast the Dogs who at least look like they are having a good go at winning eg. Last Sunday they really only got run over in the last quarter.

    Not sure replacing one poor pick with another is making a lot of progress. Have not looked the last two weeks Redleg but the first few games he did not get a mention. PS just checked last weekends game. Following line from the game report "Jordan Gysberts (23 possessions, 1 goal) played in a slightly different role today as a winger. Gys took a step forward today."

    I mentioned earlier on here I saw a Amos game on Saturday third level. Similar to you WJ they played like there was no tomorrow for each other. And all they get is a pat on the back from a hundred supporters if they are lucky. We have sure messed up somewhere

    Every time I see Pedersen play I swear I can hear laughter from Arden Street.

    I had a great weekend till 4.40 sunday. Went to see a mates side in the Amos ( he is the Fin Director Williamstown) average skill levels but they all had a go and they won. A couple of drinks after the game and we all sang the song ( well i muddled through ) Baby sitting Saturday night and Mum's day lunch yesterday before the MCG disaster. Really I expected pretty much what I got. Surprisingly the world has not ended, the sun came up today. Next week Uni Blacks plays De La Salle top of the table clash. Might go and watch it at least I will go with the thought that my side has a good chance of winning.

    Redleg we are pretty much irrelevant to the competition at present so we are given the irrelevant time slots. This game will struggle to get 50 000 viewers on Foxtel Not sure why you are surprised

    For all those of you who have not been able to sleep at night wondering! The ipad has just completed 14 days without a hitch. We are now in un chartered waters. My confidence has increased. Now if I can only get the same results out of the MFC

    I agree WJ a serious drop in form

    Amazing how we as supporters see our team in 2013.I did not go yesterday but heard the scores a couple of times, at half time I thought only 5 goals behind. Then the final score and thought wow only 10 goals! I never thought I would see the day when I was happy with a ten goal loss. Says lots about my expectation for the team at present. Things are truely bad when you have no expectation of a win in 95% of games and see a ten goal loss as a good result.

    Out on the fourth bbo so I will be back before you leave. Have you been to Myanmar before ? I am told it is like bali in the 60's. My first visit to Bali was 1975 unfortunately that "bali" is long gone or most of it anyway. look forward to your thoughts Bbo on return.

    Had a good weekend football wise. Went to nothing at all due to some small family problems on Saturday. feel at peace with the world. This could catch on! Heard the dees lost by 10 goals and Grimes out for who knows how long. Does it matter? no not a lot. Booked a holiday to Thailand in June today the winter is looking up.

    I think your luck ended after you missed out on being in a Carlton Box redleg.Cannot imagine there will be too many dees in that area on Sunday. You know it is bad when long term dees members stop wearing Red and Blue to a game. A friend of mine who I go with most weeks has stopped wearing Red and Blue. he is going on sunday and planning to sit next to Carlton members. He says if he can keep his trap shut they might no guess he is a dees supporter. Bloody sad but there you are.

    funny bb but that is exactly how I am handling it.It came to me on the way home from Brisbane on Monday morning. Off to Casey at Port or Uni Blacks on Saturday and Sunday in a football sense does not exist. Day with my daughter and Grand daughter.

    Wholemeal bread with natural Banana straight out of the skin that was it Redleg. Washed down with a cup of English breakfast. Thank you for the concern for my health. Bloody sad that this is the most positive thing I can talk about today on Demonland.

    Good afternoon fellow banana lovers. Any news worth discuss that does not involve, sacking MN, the new GM achieving miracles in 6 months or slagging off my fellow Demonlanders? I had a very nice banana sandwich for lunch so far the highlight of my day.

    The world is full of thinks I don't understand, like how come all USA bank notes are the same size and colour?
