Firstly Crawf Can I have my heart attack on the sunday I would like a few hours of celebration mate!

Second the problem is not that I entend to go anytime soon it is more about the length of the journey that the MFC will need to make.

IMO our list is such that it is going to take a decade to get to a GF if all things go well.

In my view very few of the current list are capable of AFL standard football and the majority of the ones that are will be too old by 2024.

We are currently in the position of a new team joining the AFL in 2014. A long journey awaits.

Your request for an extension is granted.

I'm a little more optimistic than you. Whilst I can see what you're saying, I don't agree that the list is as bad as you think. With some culling at season's end, and some judicious drafting, we could be knocking on the door of the top 16 next year. In 2015 I expect to see further culling and the addition of some more free agents to bring us up to a standard that we see us replacing Richmond in 9th place. After that, the sky is the limit. I predict a return to greatness some time before the end of this decade. That will leave me on the good side of 70 and, hopefully, still fit enough to celebrate in a 'wildish' fashion.

GO DEES!

To steal a line from Pat Benetar " ALL FIRED UP !" :cool:

Might be promising a bit too much. How about WARMER BY DEGREES.

I'm assuming this was a typo? :) "Knocking on the door of the top 16". So, 17th. Daring to dream.

If you meant knocking on the door of the top 8, this club is a gazillion miles away from that. Without some major coups in the trade period and injection of genuine talent into the midfield, I'm not expecting next year to be much different to this one.

Viney has gotten me through 2013. I suspect Hogan will be playing a similar role in 2014.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
