My money is on someone from the thread!

Old Dee,Red and Bluebeard, Redlegs or belzebub59!

How could we possible go wrong?

It from a very reliable source, well closer to a drink really.

Mr Jack Daniels and Miss Coke Cola.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol: :lol::lol::lol::lol:

You certainly don't need me TBF.

Banana Daiquiri might be more appropriate!

Redleg this is pessimistic but I will believe it when I see it and not one minute before!

Having said that I am getting a little excited!

Feeling that little tremor are we?

We are still a very long way from being out of the woods bb

But at least we can now see the trees and we have a very good woodchopper.

September 6. Mark that down people.

H_T this not a word that I have much affection for any longer.

Can you find another among your vocabulary please!

What have you got against hangers, OD? :blink:

Well Redleg now I believe.

Two years is way short of what I would have expected.

It will be interesting to see what is said at the Press conference.

Someone is sure to ask about the short length.

Does that mean he thinks we are way better than I think?

I hope so but I am not holding my breath.

However over all a very good day for the MFC.

OMG

I was assured by Jack that Roos was going to Perth

LOL

I listened to the press conference.

I was impressed and it takes a bit these days for the MFC to impress me.

Between Mr. P Roos and Mr. P Jackson I think we have something that has not existed for a long time.

We have IMO two people at the top who know what the hell they are doing.

I now have something to look forward too at the MFC.

I am however still fairly pessimistic about our team for 2014 and the next couple of years.

A lot of work is required to make our list into a competitive unit.

The upside is I believe we now have the crew to achieve it.

I have hope this Spring and summer.

Missed most of the presser but hope to catch up later..

I did hear PJ talking about the PP and I think he said that the other 17 clubs will have to get over it if they want us to be competitive and improve the competition.

That pretty much covers it

He also said that it is the reason we have a commission, so that an overall view is taken.

I also get the feeling that a few of the clubs are blustering to appease their supporters, while privately they acknowledge the need for the Dees to improve quickly on the field.

Remember this is all about money. The AFL is all about money. AD gets more money as well the more the AFL makes. Clubs get more money for bigger attendances and an interested TV viewing audience. The TV fees rely on interesting games.

As I posted elsewhere just ask James Brayshaw who has been publicly outspoken against us one simple question," next time we play North as their home match, does he want a big or small crowd". That sums it all up.

The Paul Roos thread is only 17 pages behind this one. Get posting!

It doesn't count because it is actually now two threads combined.

And it will be dead and this one will live on.

As Jack Dyer would say it does not have the "Intestinal Fortitude" to continue.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
