Dingo

If my memory is correct : when we beat the Eagles in Perth - for the first time there ? - he walked off the ground , slapped his his left hand on his right upper arm , telling the booing Eagles fans to ....go away?!

And I did had a brief chat to him at the G 2 years ago and he told me not to give up on the Dees - not that I needed to be told.A good bloke.

Having the MCG as our home ground.We shouldn't take it for granted.Imagine being moved to That Stadium!

Loved Max's game. He is one tough son of a gun!

A friend of mine flew out this morning.Where ( a pub ? ) could he meet other Dees supporters before the game?

Someone, somewhere , said "Pedarenko , you beauty! "

I like it!

Yes hehind goals city end

Thanks KC - great job as usual. It seems Casey are missing some solid backmen - for example  Garlo and Dunny.

We have reached a critical time of the season,with a seriously depleted side.We need Leadership and Experience.We need someone who can rev the team up.I vote for Jordan Lewis, with apologies to Bernie.I would really love Max to be captain, but he needs to concentrate on his ruck work.At the moment.

I like Connelly ,but tell him he's dreamin!And former Crows coach Mark Williams goes to the same hairdresser as me: he said , at the start of the season , that we would make the final four.I said balderdash.I am afraid that we are not good enough to play finals footy.This year.Next year..........?

I went to see it at 2.30.It has already been tagged but the big majority is ok.It is really big.I had a photo of myself standing in front by a Chinese tourist- a young lady.Then her mother moved next to me and I put my MFC scarf around her neck!So me and Tom Bugg will feature in the holiday snaps in China!

Stop worrying Red And Blue.I am on speaking terms with Christian's dad who owns a restaurant in Brighton.Last Saturday morning Alex drove past as I was walking my dog.He stopped,wound down the window and yelled " Go the Dees".The family go to training and Casey as well.So I am positive Christian will re-sign.( his dad used to barrack for the Bombers!)

Thanks for your responses.Regarding Neale Daniher : how long did he coach us for,why did he leave  and who did he coach after us?

When was the last time we were 5th on the ladder - or there abouts?My wife just asked me and I can't remember!Last century???

Magic game against the Doggies.Now I know why Coach Goodwin plays him.( he also played great last week against Pies)

ABC Radio votes : Watts 1;Hibberd 2; CAM 3 ! Why am I not surprised? He is a seriously very good player.

Isn't it a good thing ,that we are debating who  should come in this week? Shows our depth.

Terrific game Cam!

I like the idea of Tommy McD sharing the ruck with Pederson.

I have watched the replay.It was an intense,scrappy game by both teams.We led for three and a half quarters and scores were equal at the 6 minute mark.This was against the top team.We were 2 players short.Not one player gave up or stopped trying till the final siren.The Dees were fantastic. Bring on the Bombers!

Thanks again Saty.I am quietly confident we will beat the Tiges.

Vineytime says Melksham has a "4yr deal" - does this mean he has a 4 year contract?

I really dislike this topic. Why are we using  North American sporting terminology to "analyse" Australian Rules Football? I 've had enough of the words offence and defence. And some bozos are using the word quarterback when analysing games!!We play an Australian game so lets not Americanise it.

I have watched the replay and feel positive.We were 9 points behind half through the last quarter.Sure they kicked  another couple of goals but we weren't smashed.When is the coach going to teach our key forwards to lead like Kennedy?

I am with you puntkick.I have had my hopes dashed too often in the recent past.Consequently I can't see passed the 1st game,

Binman questions Saty's conversation with Jack.Does Binman go to training as often as Saty does - if at all?I met Saty at training a month ago and he does talk to the players.If Jack was lying surely Saty would be able to tell by his tone of voice and body language?
