Last year I said the Blues would win a flag before us and was roundly criticised.

I will stick with my prediction!

Good on you! Should we all pat you on the back now? Love the supporters we have who seem happier to be happy with themselves when they denigrate the team they supposedly follow !!

Supporting a particular team should not blind you the talent of other teams. Fanaticism seldom produces good results.

Agree.  But in D*9's defense, there are a few posters who seem to take more delight about things that go wrong with us and glee when they are proved right (and silent when wrong) than seems quite healthy.

Sue what people write about seldom worries me. I only object to nasty comments. A few people get quite venomous at times. I find it best to ignore them.

I think we have more talent than Carlton. they have some good key position players and a couple of good onballers but they fall away badly after that

We have our gaps no doubt but our list is significantly better and I am confident we'll be higher on the ladder by the end of this season

You may well be right. A list is only as good as it performs. Ours has yet to show you are correct however I am very happy for you to be correct. I still think they will win a flag before us. We might be grand finalist in a few years time!

Sorry RtG but it is entirely natural to hate Essendon for that. In fact there are many reasons to hate them and they are without question my most hated club. On reflection they are the only club that I currently hate. (Special mention to Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong & Hawthorn and no fan of Adelaide or WCE either)

Strong point ManDee. Yeah, they're way, way out in front for me.

I wouldn’t describe my comments as “venomous” or “fanatical “. Of course at times other teams are good to watch & certain “oppo” players are very good to watch. I just don’t  agree with your analogy. But...hey...different things must make certain people ...feel satisfied!  I also think with a great deal of certainty that no way will the Blues win a flag before us or even win a flag ...

I wasn't suggesting you were venomous.  I accept other people's views but it's no big deal we just think different on this subject.

Nascent you've provided a brilliant intuitive list of the whereabouts of the MFC players. Whilst others continued flipping through the pages of "Where's Wally?". Will have to politely refuse your kind offer of those numbers, as the 'magic' appears to  have left.
