Redleg are you now confident we have a lock on third last?

Not yet. About 10PM saturday I might be. I think we need Swans to beat Cats and North to not kill GWS. Then I would be. Or if Cats win but WCE lose then North smashes GWS I would be.

I have been telling you we are home for weeks.

Nothing in the last month has suggested otherwise.

You are right of course, but with this club unless something is set in stone, it can't be guaranteed.

I hope this is the last time I want us to lose a game.

For the readers of this thread I will pass on a conversation I had with our President recently. I told him that I and most other Dees supporters, are furious at our treatment in the media this year. Sheahan, Denham, Roos, Smith, Robbo, Warner and others have slammed us mercilessly. Even attacking us for having our players in their blazers at Jim's funeral. While criticism of our onfield efforts is warranted , what is not are comments like those from Sheahan that " we are a disgusting and pathetic club". That comment basically covers every employee and supporter of the club. In all my years of following footy, I think that is the lowest comment I have heard about us and it came from a so called supporter.

In light of the above, I asked Don, after the tanking inquiry result is published and assuming we are cleared, would he go on the offensive, as best he could against our detractors, bearing in mind we need the media as well. I told him we needed to stand up and be seen to be defending our club. He agreed and said that would happen. I await his response with great anticipation.

PS. I will never forgive Sheahan for those comments and hope to see him somewhere, where he will learn of my displeasure.

Good news if he follows through Redleg

If you don't mind I will believe it when it happens

Believe it or not redleg I have never ever wanted to lose a game.

I went home from the infamous Richmond game filthy we lost.

I am very often resigned to losing but i always want to win.

Even this weekend I want to win and I don't care what it does to our draft pick position.

I can think of nothing better than to win the last game of 2012

Put them in the fridge and get them cold and then cut them up and put them on your cereal. Yummy.

How disappointing is it, that I am looking forward to the trading and drafting, more than I looked forward to about the last 80% of this season?

hell thats been me for the last...oh dont know... a long long time lol

Actually it all Ive really been looking forward too this year. I knew the season proper would be painful. ..But theyre grwoing pains as such. Things are getting better its just theres little outward manifestation of this. That I hope will show in season 2013. This season been embryonic.

I wont particulalry cruel any of the previous treade/draftings of the last say half dozen years but i seriously question whether the club had a good plan to work to. If you design a strategy ( thats rubbish ) an follow it then you are at least true to its cause if flawed in its makeup. This is what I sense happened. They though X and sought X. We now realise that X was at least 75% wrong and we actually need Y. Y? because we do :)

Given 5 mins to work with ( figurately ) Neeld and Co showed more insight and relevance to our needs , let alone ability to achieve, than the FD had for quite some while. Given theyve had a good yea rto plan ths next phase of taent attack and armed with what by all accounts is a fair dinkum wallet I fervently hope there will be some clever and impacting enlistments come this EOS silly circus.

Its like we were just mucking around before, and now we're serious.

I think you can guarantee that young JV will be a good player.

I was thinking outside of him

Well I would hope that with 3 and 4 we might get a Toumpas and an U17 and I am pretty sure they should be ok.

I thought the followers of this thread whose hearts and minds are set in that wonderful era of the late 50s and early 60s might appreciate knowing about the passing of another icon.

Vale dear friend.

He could not have been 80 WJ surely

Thanks for that but I just now feel older again.

Come on Dees give us some wins I am running out of years

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
