Alteration " on that other thread"

I have a good feeling today Redleg! Just remember we are all masters of our own destiny. If we choose to bet on a horse no one dragged us to the TAB. We went willingly. All the onus is on us. I am enjoying the ride Redleg I hope you are too.

Yes Deeoldfart I agree. Don't leave us in this empty spot called the off season. Redleg you owe us old guys some fun!

Oh no! Hang in there Redleg the next win is just 22 hours away.

Last previously now fourth, we are getting closer Redleg!

Thanks Redleg. How many do you own?

I am impressed WJ but how did he go today? PS if you have $6 Million who need one?

Thanks Redleg but I missed your advice. Busy today and did go onto Demonland till now. How did it go?

Mainly because I am bored with all the talk about you know who and compensation etc. Do we keep this years clash Jumper or do we get to design a new one? If we change the red can we keep it red not pink or maroon!

Makes for interesting reading. Seems like you are correct. So the "A League" and Carlton.

It is quite simple really. If you do not like this thread then do not come on it!

ok. I might plan a trip to Sandown. Bananas on the museli this morning must be a year since that happened. Well one banana anyway

I cannot believe it that other thread is still going! What can there possibily left to say? Elvis has left the building boys move on. PS miss read that it was pinned this afternoon thank god.

Lets hope for an improvement in Humour!

Just checked the single Malt, almost out. Hope things improve soon all these low moments are costing me a fortune.

A small thought in 2009 Knights got the bombers into an elimination final and they got belted. From that point on he was on borrowed time at the Bombers, he could not coach was the cry. Well a certain Mr. Hird has just accomplished the same feat with a very similar team in 2011. Wonder when he will start to get the blame. Obviously cannot coach!

Add the Geelong v Hawthorn game to that list Redleg and you have my list of my games from the weekend. The overpowering feeling I had was that we have a very long way to go. The winners from the matches I saw were all top four sides and we are 13th. That about covers it. Over the last week I have become a little philosophical. I am used to my team being in this position in September. Will he stay or go? Another new coach to be appointed but who? Who will be given the DCM? Which skinny kid will we draft? Will the Admin. gets its act together? Yep sounds like most Septembers at the MFC. I don't like it but what can I do about it? Bugger all really! So just one short wish. "Please let it be different in 2012" And what's running this week? Did you get the banana smoothie?

It is now 1 hour and 3 minutes that must be a record or is there finally nothing left to say!

Does everyone realise that other thread has not had a comment for 33 minutes!

Thank you Redleg and unfortunately no not much happening. There is a benefit however I do feel calm for the first time in 6 months!

I think the mantle of the young leader at the MFC has now been officially been given to JT. Noticed he was the presenter of the "100% Melbourne" video. Seems an easy decision to me, best young player by a country mile, loyal seems a nice kid and comes over very well. The Vice captainsy looks a shoe in to me

So now all is revealed! Looking at our injury list we should play off for the flag next year! Only joking but it pays to keep your sense of humour around the MFC.

Actually Redleg I am absolutely over the whole thing,life goes on. As for messrs Prendergast and Harrington only if he turns into a flyer down the track. Guys in their jobs are probably fairly steely, win some lose some. Bit like horses mate,some win and others carry children around at horse clubs. By the way, why do the good ones break down but the donkeys run around forever?

I am sure they are all just coincidence Redleg!

Heard Michael Nettlefold from the saints on the SEN this morning. He said they would lose $1.3 million this year. Came in after the start but I thought he said $900 000 was due to playing at ES. He said every year it is like writing a cheque for that amount and posting it to Collo. This is in spite of having 40 000 members, being up near the top of the ladder the last three years and playing in the last 3 GF's. Also said they are way down on FD spending etc. compared to richer clubs. They believe they run a tight ship. Said they would be asking the AFL to play all their home games at G next year. Won't happen but they do not have a contract to play at ES since the "new Deal" a couple of years ago. That surprised me. So how are the likes of the Dees, Dogs, Port and North supposed to compete? Seems like surviving in the future will be hard let alone winning a flag. Perhaps finishing 13th and not making a loss might be a bigger achievment than I thought. Still feels sh--y!
