Fellow Demonlanders,

I'm worried about one of our own. Old Dee has fallen victim of the hopelessness epidemic that befalls many of us from time to time. In old Dee's case I'm worried that he's fallen further than is healthy. I'm worried that he might not come back from this one without our help and support. He doesn't seem to respond to my gentle pokes and prods anymore. I think it's time for us to band together and help Old Dee see the light at the other end of the tunnel and convince him it's not just a train coming the other way.

I'm asking everybody to get on board and post a positive reminder to Ol Dee. Let him know just how much there is to be excited about as we enter the 2013 season.

Come on folks let's cheer the old bastard up.

I'll start it off.

Hey Old Dee,

Clark, Dawes, Howe, Blease, Byrne, Tapscott, etc. When was the last time we had a forward line with this much potential? The future is bright my friend. Next year we'll add Hogan to that list. I can barely contain myself!

GO DEES!

It's too late for Old Dee. We need to focus on Young Dee now.

And SELLAR!

Maybe we could get Ricky Nixon on here to tell a few jokes to cheer old dee up a bit?

This should do it.

Hey Old Dee

A win in rd 1 wil be the tonic you need. Haven't had one since 2005 so the odds are its gonna happen this year!

Could be worse - you could have your money in a Cyprus bank account.

Pffffft, weare doomed.......DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEDDDDD I tells ya

I have a smile from ear to ear Reverend.

What a great way to start this thursday.

You may well be right Chook

No longer at the club OldDee.

No longer at the club.

I am not that bad cfh.

If anything should cheer him up it is most likely not to be seeing a player in an 'away jumper'! It makes our players look like St Kilda players!

Could be worse - you could have your money in a Cyprus bank account.

Oh no!

No longer at the club OldDee.

No longer at the club.

He has a few mates still there RR

Well I have to say I am honoured guys a thread in my name.

I can say at this tender age I have now made it.

The pinacle

Now all I need is a footabll club that wins the occasional game.

( wonder what the fees are at the lions? )

Must be a mystical force in the universe. I was thinking of starting a cheer-up OldDee a thread myself today.

Old Dee, the last GF I was at was in 1964 so I could be as depressed as you. But cheer up, the wheel is turning.

With all due respect to Old Dee, at least he's seen a Premiership (or perhaps more than one?). I'm more concerned about the other x thousand supporters who have not had that particular pleasure bestowed upon them.

Hi mate long time between drinks that is or sure.

Don't be too worried I am not about to fling myself in front of a bus.

If I was it would not be the because of the MFC.

It is the speed of wheel that concerns me.

Spot on I have seen two that is a long way in front of many.

I actually don't expect to see another but would love us to win more than we lose.

I was there in 1964, although I was only 6 and don't really remember it. But don't give up hope. Another might be just around the corner. It's just that we don't know how far we have to travel until we get to that corner.

Couldnt care less about the colour of the jumper, he plays for the dees.

You can do it OD We need your dry wit.

You're welcome - just bloody well cheer up mate!

This kid will be .................. (fill in your own positive/superlative adjective).

I'm more excited by his potential than Hogan and Viney combined.

All class and can kick goals.
