Being a optimist I can see T.Mac being a all australian this year. A couple of scalps (Both Riewoldt's) and he is sure to be considered. Unlike the midfield which is stacked full of A grade players the backline hasn't as many.

Hey old dee, it's going to be a great year.

We will win both games and we'll go on to win many more.

The AFL (Abject Failures Limited) and the [censored] running it will be shown up at some stage this year for the fools they are.

The tide of public opinion will turn our way and we will be seen as hardworking underdogs who deserve the respect of the football world.

Oh it's going to be a glorious year.

Go DEES!

Toumpas will be a star. Forgive me for the massive generalization, but we have often previously recruited blokes who lack a winners arrogance. Ie Cale Morton.

This bloke screams out 'winner'. Hogans the same. Sometimes it just goes beyond draft camps. It's for this reason, I'm also wrapped to have Viney.

Is now a good time to bring this thread back?

I would expect there will be all sorts of hopes and dreams bubbling around out there. Let's share them here, free of the negative Nellies.

I'm dreaming of Queen's Birthday 2014. 90,000 in attendance 45,000 of them in red and blue. What a magnificent sight to see. Imagine being able to wear the scarf with pride as we head out of the G with the song ringing in our ears.

It's going to be a Grand Old Flag once more!

GO DEES!

I was just wondering where you were Reverend.

Even I share you enthusiasm today mate.

Can I go to the grave knowing we are competitive once again?

Absolutely OD, but nobody's going anywhere until we win a flag.

Paul Roos will be talking to his mate, GOD, and making sure that there will be no loyal supporters taken until the flag flies over the G again.

Praise the Lord - we are being led from the desert to the promised land.

Only if you want to see the next five premierships! Would three in a row put a spring in your step and shake off the infirmities? Bloody hell, one would give me another ten years, I reckon. Three in a row would see me almost immortal.

GO DEES!

Finally getting games into a few youngsters who've had serious injuries.

Young leaders (I seem to be in the minority on this but the sheer lack of leadership in recent years is being addressed by a new, young group. It'll take time, but they'll be there when it matters).

Fitzy, Big Max, Hoges and the star studded forward line.

While we are at it, why don't we get moloney back and right the wrong with Ollie Wines

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
