Hi Guys & Girls,

As a life long dees fan who lives abroad, I've only just stumbled across this wonderful website. I've spent some time reading a few of the topics and thought this might be a good thread to start on.

I think the club is doing a great job at keeping everyone informed and it's good to see they have moved with the times and are using the whole social media thing to engage with the supporters. Years gone by there has been the odd update on the website and the occasional article in the online papers, but nothing like I'm seeing now. It's fantasic and I don't feel like I'm missing out on as much now.

So I look forward to more updates, and thank all the people on here in advance for the all training reports and the odd bit of banter!

P.S I don't think the wife will be too impressed with me finding this site, the computer might be getting a little more attention from now on.....

Welcome.

Dont't you mean the PC will be getting as much use but "in private browsing" less use?

I wouldn't let Max Gawn be close friends with Jimmy Toumpas

Especially considering Gawny's past history with 1st round draft pick

We really dont need another spewing incident

James Magner doesn't seem very popular either.

What's up with that?

Hmmm one picture of a sign saying no swimming due to crocodiles, and another of all the boys swimming.

I hope it was in a different pond! No way in hell I'd swim ANYWHERE in Kakadu.

No way would I swim anywhere in the NT except Mataranka hot spring and then they found a croc there one day.

After that there were no exceptions.

Ha ha, yes! Didn't want to reveal too much about myself this early on though.....

Cheers.

Going to be a good way to get me through a Welsh winter (even though looking at constant pictures of 30^o C heat and sunshine does get a bit depressive!).

[monoccular 17,575]

That tank looked small next to Max !!!! Lol

How many times do you need to be told that that word is never to be used in the context of MFC - it will just give Ms Wilson further ammunition for her petty vile vendetta!

He worked for a living and probably thinks they are all a bunch of self obsessed dicks .

I hope he learns to kick and becomes a regular .

Otherwise cancel his visa.

well boyo what have you let yourself in for - welsh winter I mean. Just a word of advice - learn quickly how to use the ignore button.

You can swim in the higher pools - crocs can't rock climb - but the stuff lower down is oob clearly.

A few years ago a Korean tourist was saved from being mauled by a crocodile after he had gone swimming 10 metres away from a sign that said "Crocodiles Do Not Swim". When asked why he did it the tourist, who spoke English, said he thought it was safe because the sign said crocodiles do not swim!!! True story.

Like those road signs that say "Police enforcing speed".

my bad..

Off to the naughty corner

I think this trip away is pivotal in helping so many new players bond together. I wonder if they could do another mini type camp next year before the season starts again possibly up north to further get the team thing going stronger focus on more team work exercises.

NAB cup starts in about 8 weeks. The time to even plan that would not be available I'd assume.

Don't know of any high pools in Kakadu.

Water usually falls.

Never seen a waterrise in my life.

So you've never seen steam?
