It been a long year, actually the last 8 years have been long years! We had an optimistic looking start to the season but the last 9 weeks or so has confirmed that I need a break from footy.

I have wasted enough time already scrolling though countless pages of draft material only to find out it was a waste of time. You can study the players all you like but at the end of the day the club will pick who they pick and no one will know whether it was the right decision (till maybe 5 years down the track).

On a brighter note the sun is out and I sense spring/summer around the corner. Instead of following trend and heading to the mountains mid-season (doesn’t work) I have decided to ride the season out and then forget all things footy over the off-season. Time to soak up the sun and come back preseason fresh and rejuvenated.

Yours sincerely,

Young Dee

But...but...the OFF season is our best bit !!!! Never lose a game, all prospects are guns, the sun shines, most Demonlanders get on. Beats the H/A by a mile

Lots of fog down in Mentone...

Buy Young Dee, how will you sleep not knowing how many people want Watts traded or not?

If young dee has had enough after 8 years I'd hate to see how old dee is feeling.

I completely agree. Following this season from the UK has been utterly depressing.

Look forward to being the only MFC fan in the ground on Saturday night other than the cheersquad.

Any confirmation on whether the cheer squad will turn up?

Im excited just to get drunk in general this Saturday night.

Thinking he feel better each day now as he loves the off season so much these days.

If only the MFC could win the off season Premiership!

You forgot to mention how "<insert players> tearing up the track"

Pretty easy to look good in a bunch of spuds.

It's not 'boo' DC. They will be yelling 'Boo-urns' to pay tribute to Shagger Byrnes before the season is up.

Once again you direct every thread into the merger/relocation plight of our club.

For the last time PJ has already denounced "we wont be relocating to mars"

Too late jazza I reckon the team went there six weeks ago.

At least we would be the best side on the MCG Martian Cricket Ground
