They’re going around in circles. 

Happy circles?

We should have such a bar circle for the last half century WJ!

That's right... they are doing stuff with the club. trying things.   They do not rest on laurels, nor sit on their hands.

What have we done in the past 50 yrs.  zippo... we've talked about this or that, and done SFA.

Exactly, 'OD'.

 

But the responsibility lye with us, the supporters...  for our she'll be right,  near enough attitudes...  to our electing boards of past generations... simply following the recommendations emanating from the North side of the 'G'... 

 

The conservatives have been rootin' the club for 55 Yrs. simply by being too nice... and too shy, too negative in thinking the supporters will support big major decisions. 

We have been waiting to die since the mid 60's...  by just waiting on our fait..  thankfully not 'accompli'.. Yet.

Well I am back from my latest sojurn and it is great to see that we haven't lost a game yet.

In that case, perhaps you can have a long sojourn from March 23 to September 29.

You wouldn't be the first to want me to take a long leave of absence.

I know what you mean, my past wives and mistresses suggested the same thing.  Really a win win.

A leave of absence since July 61 would be viewed as very long Ernest.

Same one DF, just sceptical when it comes to the last half century ramblings of new homes. Seeing is believing. The team is doing much better easy to see. We are in for a good decade.

Your almost as old, creaky and dusty as me OD.

As Leonard said to Marianne, i'm just behind you, if you stretch out your hand I will touch it. 

Hopefully plenty of celebratory single malts this season.

I was born a far bit later than 1899 Ernest.

Well they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or is that abstinence?

My God DF who would want to live for 117 years? Certainly not me, figure I have 7-8 left trying to enjoy that lot irrespective of the MFC.

So should we do a poll?

Would 8 premierships in the next 8 years cause OD to:

a) get a new lease on life and live for the next 15-20 years?

b) see the first 3 cups, then get palpitations from all the excitement (regardless of the lack of a social club) and happily turn his toes up, with an enigmatic and everlasting smile on his face?

c) live out whatever timeline is destined, regardless of MFC successes?

Looks like the best option to me Ernest. That is actually what I am doing, MFC is an enjoyable part of my life but nowhere  near the top of my enjoyment lot.

When it comes to life span bjDee what we desire and what we get is usually different. A bit like following the MFC. I only want to live as long as I have a reasonable quality. If that is 8 years so be it if it is 20 than great as long as I can get around under my own steam.

Very balanced OD.

I feel the same way, although if MFC enjoys a sustained period of success and wins a flag, this may change!

I now have moderate desire where the MFC is concerned. I have already settled for a "sustained period of success" Ernest. If a flag comes along well and good but it is not compulsory to me any longer.

Hopped in the lift at work with Junior and in came Adem Yze. Had a little chat and told him that IMO he was one of the great hbf's of the Dees. Brought a smile to his face and a very humble thank you.

For the first time in years, I’m really looking forward to the season with vigourious enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see how well our boys will do this year

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    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.
