Cheery chap aren't you?

Reverend!

I thought you had migrated to a foreign land or decided to obstain from AFL.

[stuie 7,374]

At last we are in agreement Stuie. You have a basic knowledge of football.

But not much else.

[Moonshadow 16,409]

Champagne comedy! Good one Frank Burns.

While our style of play looks improved since last year, the results against teams we would hope to be equal or better than have been disappointing. Mixed bag so far. Not much to hang our hat on. Wait till we play the better clubs, that'll totally screw our percentage.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,556]

That looks like "Cold Duck" or "Spewmante". You are a cheap bastard Stuie!

I've been deep in meditation and reflection as I contemplate the future success of my beloved demons. I've ventured into the desert seeking enlightenment and have returned with renewed optimism. When I asked the question, I heard a dulcet voice proclaim, "Have faith Crawf52, the time is coming." I asked when I could expect to be rewarded for my faith and I was told, "When Vlad departs, Mick realises he's just not up to it and the Bombers get their fair whack. When these three things have come to pass your faith will be rewarded and the Dees will enjoy a century of unparalleled success."

It cant be that far, away can it?

Extremely cheery after a win and a few sherbs.

[beelzebub 22,323]

Yep...at 6 games we can see something of note.

See the improvements and the glaring deficiencies.

Something is happening ......at ast

Better than last year, and when you're better than what you were before it's called "improvement".

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

WE HAVE IMPROVED, WE ARE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. We are in the right direction, and are at least competitive, which so many of you said you wanted. But now you have it, you don't want that? We are a [censored] awful football team, who are now slightly less awful and seem to be gaining the respect back from the media AT LEAST.
Next year we will be better still, and so on and so on. When you come from this far back it is gonna take time as we basically had to start again.

[Alcho Dee 269]

fk off Stuie, we are now up to round 6 so move on.

[stuie 7,374]

fk off Stuie, we are now up to round 6 so move on.

Last year at this time our percentage was 56, this year it's 67.

Now, let me explain... 67 is a higher number than 56. That means so far this year we've improved on the same time last year. Do you see how that works?

have you worked out the difference between 'center clearances' and 'clearances' yet?

[Mgdee 319]

Our percentage this year is 67.3 against 56.1 last year after round 6 .

The more interesting stat is that after 6 rounds this year we have conceded at 80.5 points per game. Last year at the same stage we had conceded 140 points per game and at seasons end 122.3 points per game.

I know we are still not winning games but I believe that the tide may be turning and Roos influence is starting to show.

[stuie 7,374]

Ohhhhhh so you're trying the deflection defence? Nice.

[Alcho Dee 269]

Just like you are Stuie by jot answering the question, go and make yourself a cup of tea and get back to your knitting.

Last year we averaged 66 points for per game, this year, 56... Is that improvement Stuie?

You don't quite understand the concept of percentage do you?

I think we're still a very long way from gaining respect. We're now on the path to regaining it, but it's going to be a long road back.

[old dee 22,982]

I agree P-Man

we are still saddled with the worst list in the comp.

It is going to take at least another two draft /trading periods to fix that.

[Alcho Dee 269]

I'm not talking about percentage, I'm talking about 'points for' Stuie you must be blind seriously....look....read....

[stuie 7,374]

I'm not talking about percentage, I'm talking about 'points for' Stuie you must be blind seriously....look....read....

Haha... Wow. Just when I think you couldn't miss any more obvious points.

We may be averaging 10 points less so far this year, but we're also restricting out opponents to 40 points less.

That's why we talk about percentage and not just points for.

Far out. Special kid you are.

[Sir Why You Little 34,913]

Amazing isn't it considering all the 1st round picks and pp's we were handed....

Those who were in charge must stay right away

Unfortunately Reverend Two of your three conditions are some ways off being resolved.

Mick won last night so his ego is back to " I am the greatest" and the Bombers thing will not be resolved in 2014 if ever.

Look like there is still a long long way to go.
