Jaded No More

I guess when McRae has a [censored] sook about the umpires he gets what he wants

Lot of footsteps today from Maynard. Soft [censored]

My app says rain will stop by 6. This is Melbourne, has any weather forecast ever been correct?

RELEASE THE CHOOKS

On the plus side, harder draw next year if they make it. They are toast without Curnow in finals anyway.

I am sure if you came, you can come sit in the members bays and you won't have to deal with it. There are plenty of empty seats always in M50-M52 I report anyone in black and white who attempts to walk into our section straight to the MCC security and have them removed. Yes I am that level of petty! I won't go to away games against them anymore, except finals. I should have made that call a few years ago when I had to report one of their supporters for racially abusing Jetta, but the Gus incident last year was the final straw.

What's more likely, Houston staying at Port, or Port winning a flag under Ken?

I would say that if there wasn't already an in-principle deal, that we wouldn't be so forthcoming with the whole thing and would say "he is seeking a trade home and we will work with all interested parties to see if a deal can be reached". My best guess, going off absolutely no inside intel btw, is that we have a deal more or less sorted with the Crows. I reckon we get our second rounder back from them, which means it's essential McAdams for Nibbler, which is not a good trade unfortunately.

Hmm could I train him in the next few hours to run onto the field and take a steaming 💩 on Maynard?

My husband is coming along, but of course he’s lost the good charm vibes after the Port loss so he’s essentially dead to me.

100% I have my own thoughts on our board, and certainly they are far from perfect, Kate included. But what I do like is that our board stays far away from football matters in a public sense. Brad Green would be the only board member who should have any type of involvement in the footy department, given his experience. Kate and the rest of the board should be concentrating on governing the club, not running commentary on every players' trade status for goodness sake.

I hate playing the Pies for so many reasons, and now you can add a legitimate fear of one of our players dying to the list. Gus, Trac, who will it be tonight? Max I suppose.

Brad Green is currently a board member at our club.

Not sure if that is a compliment or not 😂

Can confirm I too have a Cavoodle and he is the greatest thing for everyone’s mental health We need to resurrect the dog thread. Now that was a positive thread if ever I saw one!

I thought they ruled May out? 🤷‍♀️

I don't see the big deal with Adelaide dropping Rachele. He's a young player, and the Crows obviously have given him things to work out that he isn't doing. It could be things that to the naked eye are impossible to judge, like two way running or pressure acts etc. It's definitely not unusual for a young player, especially one in a role where it is difficult to always be making an impact, to be dropped. I highly doubt they would even entertain trading him.

For his sake I hope he gets a deal somewhere else where he can be best 22. While not a perfect player by any means, he's certainly good enough to play more regularly than he has with us.

Thank you @WalkingCivilWar as always. Your training reports are one of the few truly fun and positive reads on Demonland. And a special thank you from me to you for all the love you've shown Clarry!

When Woey was traded to Collingwood I was still in high school. My best friend at the time was also a mad Melbourne supporter and Woey was her favourite player. When he was traded, she no joke took a week off school because she was so distraught. She was hysterical. He used to be my neighbour, and she went to his house and left him a note to say how upset she was he was leaving. It was giving stalker energy. I have lost touch with her many moons ago, but whenever I see Taj running around I think of her and wonder if she's smiling watching another Woewodin run around in red and blue.

If he doesn't have his charge reduced at the appeals board, then I reckon you are spot on 🙃

Or is that a negative?

Thank you Staff. It was the get together at your house that, if you believe Max, changed the course of history for this club and propelled us to win a flag. You have been instrumental in achieving that premiership, and will forever be a MFC great for doing so. Wishing you all the very best in the future.

He was wearing the wrong black and white stripes

Absolute tragedy. RIP Sam.
