Demon Dynasty

Wow thats unusual for Garland. Never normally panic handballs to a stationary target who has an opponent next to him ●_●

It's tradition that great ball users generally don't find their way to the MFC clint with some very good exceptions oger the decades. Never enough in the same season to put an effective team together since 2006

That monstrous veil of negativity is going to cost you! I would be ducking for cover if you see amy men in sunglasses driving black mercs demonique

La Cross??

Shall I send u the soap wise! That could be construed as super negative. I hope you're prepared for a post match spray!

Whenever Roosy wants "angry" there's only one player to turn to!

Who?

That would of course be Jack Watts. Roos will no doubt confirm this in the presser. I suspect he may have been a tad negative in ths pre game adress. May i suggest he receives 10 of the best from BBO

I hope you're not suggesting we are a dog's breakfast Lamash. That may be considered too negative by the club. Be careful you might receive a warning!

O.o might need to jog my memory Nash Actually I stopped listening half way through the 1st. Same as last few weeks and its alot more pleasurable pretending we arent playing

I'm stoked! *_* We are the best worst quarter team in the AFL. Well done Roos & players. Now you have something to hang your hat on and feel positive about :-P

Only on D'land !

I hate to add to the veil but re Grimes to go on next year....but nah not for mine (sorry Peter/Paul ... Hec is there a Mary in the MFC!?)

We are a universe away from the strength/resources/influence that a Hawthorn has over Box Hill Just knew someone would get hold of that as I was editing. Bloody iPads. ...slow as the MFC mid field

If this club is to ever seriously improve it needs a VFL reserves team... Casey is not the answer. It is no coincidence that the Bulldogs won a VFL premiership in their first year back and the seniors roaring up the ladder this season

Nice King. But I'm going to disagree with you on one point. If we get a quality mid field, with grunt, Hogan might go a long way towards saving the MFC. Personally I wld try & do both

RP I fear you may have been severely influenced by BBO's regular self flagellations on here. I might need to speak with BBO about this as it appears to be rubbing off on a few too many D'landers

Have a sneaking suspicion P.J. may have hacked OD's account Adam. An inside job!!? O.o

Makes complete sense to me. An out of form Freeo, the selection committee has clearly decided to rest a few of our key players to freshen them up for the pre-season.

Jumbo pls... that attitude may rub off on some of the players

I have done so many times since 2010 stigga .... mostly after losses unfortunately. On reflection I ceased this practice last season and now only wear it after a win meaning i have had to put up with less vitriol but also the bitter winds from all these cold snaps. As you can imagine the reaction from colleagues has been a tad shy of positive. It is good to know however that we are still very much hated within the football community :-) * Is this negative? ... if so apologies to P.R. , P.J. and seemingly, certain players.

That is correct Jnr. That was the only difference in the teams on Sunday. Our opponent gave it for 3 quarters or so. We only gave it after half time. The coach should be capable of instilling this into his playing group after nearly 2 seasons as a bare minimum non-negotiable. The fact that he hasn't, especially against very similar ordinary opposition, has to be a massive concern to everyone at the club. And if it isn't then they must be living in a vert different footy universe to the one I'm living in. P.S. I err in saying it was the only difference. There are other factors at play here. Eg, our forward press or lack thereof gave Carlton the room to share the ball around in so much space they were able to gain massive confidence out the back and even through the middle we seemed to roll with a corraling tactic (corraling under intruction or just too lazy to close down space i wonder!?) for much of the 1st half from what I remember. Had we placed them under much more one on one pressure in our forward half then they may not have waltzed the ball so easily into their forward half/50 as they did on numerous occasions. Even hitting up previously unseen forward targets lace out like Kruiser ughh! In addition when we tried to tighten up a little through mid field after the game was shot, in many cases (not all) some of our blokes sat off them and just sweated on them instead of attacking the pill. This allowed the Blues to gain first use of the ball (much of the time...again not in every contest obviously) thru the mid and gave them quick entry inside 50. Whereas most of our attacking came off rebounds from our defensive 50. And we know how often we manage to turn the ball over trying to work the ball up the field! Very Neeldesque...eeeks.

I would suggest you watch the entire "Indiana Jones" box set picket (again if its been a few years )

OD have you been in direct contact with P.R. lately? I am detecting a marginaly positive bias here

Dr im not sure many of our players get the concept of "back to the basics" ... theyve had a few years to get it now and still go missing against some very ordinary teams
