Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I am struggling to find something to be intolerant about grandchildren. They are our future R&B Now I have just got to work out how to make mine dees fans. Just had a radical thought We could start winning lots of games! May that ever be the case. As for making them Dees fans, it is tough when the 2013 highlights are the last quarter of the home game against GWS, Howie's hangers and the first MFC women's match .... Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Then our thread would be safe and continue to flourish with all of the brilliant info and dialogue it contains. Forever and ever, Amen! Quote
Redleg 42,180 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Don't confuse the tanking outcome with the Essendrugs deal, they are poles apart. One is an orchestrated deal on a breach of an AFL rule that was never proved and the other is the biggest scandal to ever hit the sport that compromised the health of players and is admitted. Quote

daisycutter 30,021 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Since when does positive matter DC? never said it does bo i much prefer the gory negative stuff why do you think i bumped the messydrugs thread, worked a treat didn't it Quote
Biffen 12,949 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Since when does positive matter DC? Since when does positive matter DC?If you can't be negative then you could try inanity.Seems to keep everyone docile. Redleg was complaining about talking utter Tird. And he is a lawyer-a professional at it! Quote

One is an orchestrated deal on a breach of an AFL rule that was never proved and the other is the biggest scandal to ever hit the sport that compromised the health of players and is admitted. True and notwithstanding that some are elsewhere claiming we committed a "crime" the reality is that it was reported that two senior counsel gave opinions that the AFL's case against us would fail if it went to the Supreme Court. The problem was that it would have cost us a fortune in legal fees.And in the end we were shafted by the AFL who punished us twice. The first time with the fine in the negotiated settlement and the second when it bowed to the pressure of the other clubs and refused to give us draft relief by way of a priority pick for the last national draft. We were entitled to the assistance on the merits but other factors deprived us of a proper consideration of our case. That's the AFL for you. Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Tough day on Demonland today Even a bit hairy on here. Think I will go to bed now Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Is it just me or is this whole Essendon thing sapping your enthusiasm for AFL level football in general? With every passing day a little bit more gets chipped off me. Once not so long ago I was an enthusiastic follower of most teams and games over the season. Now I take notice of most things MFC and then little of everything else. Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Actually OLD...quite the reverse.. we are getting on with or club and such. Messendon are in a holding pattern ( they just dont know or accept it yet ) and will land heavy. Call me whatever but im enjoying their misery Quote
DemonFrog 1,359 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I may be a little early but it the silly season so not sure when I will be on next. So have a happy and safe Xmas and New Year, one and all. Hope 2014 is a much better season for the MFC. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote

I don't like seeing the AFL tarnished with this crap. I have a couple of close Bomber fans and they are devastated at present I feel their pain. Quote

I have a couple of close Bomber fans and they are devastated at present I feel their pain. as you know I have family members who are Messy ones . This is not about them, this is about a club that seems to think it can operate beyond the fence and with utter contempt for all else ( arguably not alone..carlscum fit that description also ) Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Over the years I have tried to use the "Sponsors" of the MFC. With limit success I have to report unfortunately. My major success was iPrimus. The not so goods were mostly either too costly compared to their competitors or simply appeared poor from my contacts. e.g. I bought Kaspersky virus protection and it did not want to download properly onto my computer. I contacted them and was told " oh we get a bit of that do you want your money back" . Fairly quick resolution but I have often wondered why they did not try and fix the problem. A couple of weeks ago I started looking for a new Car so I checked out the AHG dealerships. I have been to the brand dealer I am interested in and so far the experience has been ordinary. Not exactly rushed off my feet and their price is approx. $3000 more than a couple of other quotes I have had for the exact same car. Doubt I will be buying from AHG at this rate. I have a theory that because the MFC are not a "sort after Club" we end up with sponsors that are a fair way below the large successful companies. Do we get the also-rans and subsequently get the same level of service? Or am I just unlucky? Edited December 5, 2013 by old dee Quote
