Jaded No More 68,976 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Winning is the thing where you have tiger blood and finish on a higher score than your opponent. I know it's been a long time since we've won anything, so I don't blame you for not understanding. We won the coin toss on Saturday. I rejoiced. Kill me. Quote

old dee 24,090 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Late yesterday i had taken about all I could concerning AFL Football and the MFC. So I made myself a promise that I would Ignore anything to do with the AFL and the MFC for 24 hours. All was was going well till I picked up todays Hun and wham what a head line. But I held fast and did not read any of the story ( that was really hard ), I avoided radio by listening to a CD when out in the car. The result has been unexpected, I feel very calm and I have a new prospective on my liesure time. You know there are 1 billion people in China who do even know that the MFC exists. So I am now looking at the MFC in a new light. DO NOT OBSESS We are a football club that is towards the bottom of the competition in a number of areas. So what I have had a lot of fun times as well as a lot of crap. We may well be crap for the balance of this decade but i have been here before I know what to expect. I find it hard to believe we will win on saturday in Perth but who knows the margin might be less than I think. I get a lot of fun out of Demonland and the majority of you dees supporters out there even if as a football team we are very ordinary. I cannot change what happens to the MFC, if it fails to exist in 2020 so be it i might not exist either. The up side is enjoy life do not let the Bloody AFL get you down. Carn the Dees 2 Quote
Redleg 42,191 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 There will be plenty more headlines this year. Quote
Redleg 42,191 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 While not a headline, we see Nicholson suspended for a match for drinking. What's tomorrow? Quote
Redleg 42,191 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Posted April 7, 2012 This club drains you so much that I actually spent time thinking it would be ok to finish last this year, as we could virtually rebuild our mid field in one draft. Imagine getting Viney with our 2nd round pick, the 2 best mids in the country with pick 1 and first compo pick being pick 2 and then say another good mid at 10 or 11, whatever that compo pick is. You really could become a top side if these kids became the basis of a new midfield for us. We are ok forward and back and in the ruck IMO. I know we won't finish last but I just couldn't help thinking, one more bad year and then a decade of good years to follow, I could live with that. Quote

Redleg you may get your wish and we will not need to tank either. However we have no chief of recruiting who is going to pick them? But then again it seems the chiefs of the last ten years have not set the world on fire. Perhaps we are better of without one, It is hard to believe you could not do as well picking them out of a barrel. Quote

Given his record of advising us who he would pick, WJ could do no worse than the paid professionals who have done the job for us. Quote

At a guess I think he will be doing the picking. Quote

Redleg 42,191 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Some now getting their jollies from GWS being thrashed and $ playing poorly. I guess I am one of them. Quote
old dee 24,090 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 A strange calm has come over me. Late yesterday I realised that we are indeed due for a very sad and depressing year. So I have given up all expectations for 2012. The only real thing to look forward to now is the trading period and Draft day. With a bottom or near bottom finish, comp draft picks, and talk of new jumper sponsors in September and October That should provide something to look forward to. Of course it is also helped by the fact that I will be out of town next week so I can largely ignore that result. The off OS for the next three games, in the good old USA you really have to look for AFL results to find any. So bliss has arrived no more MFC for 4 weeks, that sounds like heaven. Quote

I am off there next week and miss Cats, Hawks, Saints and Dogs games. Might not be missing too many wins. As for your comment about the season being over, I think 2 games in with one at Pattersons against WC is too early to call. Quote

old dee 24,090 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Not sure what has happened but I have just checked the Newspapers, Radio, TV and Internet! Nothing disasterous is being reported about the MFc. What the hell is going on. Quote
