Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

    Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

    And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

    According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

    Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

    So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

    For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

    The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

    God deliver us.

    We are paying too much for a coach who and win on 50% of games played.

    Wait am I too early to start me AFL season drinking to dull the pain?

    Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

    Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

    No pain for me so far DF

    If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

    In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

    I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

    We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

    That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

    We are heading the right way IMO

    With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

    I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

    There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

    PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

    No, he doesn't wear 10. The legend goes that he's so ancient that has to wear the Roman numeral on the back of his guernsey.

    Coming around WJ ?

    I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

    I have mixed feeling about this.

    But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

    Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

    Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

    Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

    Caps are not hats.

    Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

    I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

    BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

    Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

    They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

    Here's one to ponder OD. The saints look ordinary. Now imagine your player X lining up in round 1. He happens to be in the right place at the time at the feet of Hogan and/or Dawes and snags 3 or 4. He'll be in for the next 6 weeks!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
