We're on our way people's. The direction of choices so far taken both prior to the circus and now during it sown we've learnt,as a club,the mistakes not to repeat.

We seem far more savvy, more attuned to what you need on a list to create a performing-winning team. We've made the wrong decisions at times in the past but worse repeated them. Our list is riddled with these errors.

It won't be nearly so disadvantaged come the end of the draft. I'm sure I'm not the only one to observe we've turned a corner now.

Kudos to the current regime. I'm not silly enough to think every pick and trade will be perfect but I sense the margin for error is greatly reduced . This is all the result of some serious soul searching at the MFC and some hard admissions of not only where we were but where we weren't !!

There's been wholesale change..... At long last

Often Ive gone into the new season hopeful and expectant. 2013 I'll be genuinely confident we can be actually competitive. Success will follow.

BB, have you been smoking the banana skins?

Think things will quieten down over the next 2 weeks, until the final couple of days of trading.

The last week I think will be a bit crazy. When the clubs are dealt their fa compo picks to use for trading.

i agree. Be like a normal trade period now. Nothing nothing rumour nothing then all hell brsaks loose during the final hours.

Tis all Mexican standoff now i think

_{There can be no doubt that the journos read the boards. Emma Quayle alluded to it in her article and basically summed the Demonland feeling as a guage for the average MFC supporter.}

Not only the Journos i suspect but the hacks also.

another draft day ends and we got nothing. WTF is going on

A disgrace is the only word that comes to mind dc.

If it was not for the fact we are 119 not out I would be deeply depressed.

Only one thing to do, sack Neeld, sack Harrington. S'pose we have to keep Todd now....bugger

I didn't see her write an article about the increasing number of schizophrenic, neurotic, psychotic Melbourne members?

She must have been reading a different forum, because the only thing you gauge by reading Demonland is insanity.

I'd answer you, but they take away my computer at night.

Back to more important things ;

I can heartily recommend slightly caramelised Bananas on a couple of whole meal pancakes served with a liberal dollop of Five-a.m. Vanilla Bean yoghurt !,

Please bb my taste buds just had an fit.

Neeld: We will manage Hogans expectations a bit better than we handled Watts.

I guess that rules out a Queens Birthday debut for Hogan in 2014.

More like a Rd 1, 2014 debut...

Have you mentioned that to Cale?

That's TWO days now without a SINGLE trade! I'm getting really really worried now

I blame our lack of it.

It's like fishing od. If I'm not reeling one in every 1/2 hour i get really pizzed

I am surprised we have not heard of any enquiries about Petterd.

I am not Redleg I think it is showing his worth in 2012.

I suspect there maybe a chance if he is simply delisted by the Dees and someone takes a chance for no outlay

Or perhaps via the draft.

Something may pop up at the end of the trade period but I doubt it.

If you cannot get a game as a forward at the MFC in 2012 you must be in very poor form.
