Stupidly optimistic as always.

Nice read wmth. Kudos.

Old Dee,

I posted the message below on the "boundary line or direct" thread. Seriously mate, you need to do some positive self-talk and get out of the morass into which you seem to have sunk. I'm on a new crusade now - it's called the "cheer up Old Dee campaign".

Hey listen Old Dee,

You have to pull yourself out of these doldrums. It's just as easy to look on the bright side as it is to be all gloomy about something over which we have no control. Lift your game sunshine.

My challenge to you is to post a positive thought every day until our season starts. Let's call it some pre-season training to prepare you for the glory that awaits all loyal Demon supporters as this year unfolds and reveals the light we've been waiting for. Our time is coming OD but you've got to believe!

Can you do it?

GO DEES!

I woke up this morning alive!

Everything after that is a bonus Bossdog

No coach could or should survive 186.

The die was cast

Neither GWS or GCS in their infancy put up figures approaching that result .

It's still just one game of football

If Neeld is sitting on 7-8-1 midway through this year everyone will be calling him a mastercoach

Fact is sacking Bailey, at this stage, has weakened our position, we are a bottom 3 side instead of pushing for the 8

now that has cheered me up rpfc

Surprised you see your self in such a positive light.

You should re read a few of your posts.

Quite a few of which I agree with.

But we all have our own view

I was just making a joke, OD.

Hahahaha that's funny!!!

Unless of course you were being serious....

I still anticipate the upcoming season full of confidence and hope, i always will.I haven't, as well most MFC loyalists seen a flag,born on the cusp of our last flag I curse the previous generations of my family for my allegiance.Over the past 50 years have witnessed some inspiring highlights,but mostly despairing lows but as the previous generations drilled into me...........oh well there is always next year!

This year I'm excited a little more then most.

Sorry mate I missed it.
