DubDee

Im hearing people say "not everyone has twitter" as if most people do and its only the oldies that don't?

im in my mid thirties and I dont have a twitter account (as I dont care to know what xx celebrity had for breakfast). nearly all my mates are the same so using this as the main way to communicate anything to members is ridiculous

And Terlich finished third.

And someone i actually would have over Grimes actually. While he can be poor by foot at times he tries to give us some run and carry and takes the game on.

That's a fair point but was garland was excellent in 2013 and was on par with jonsey imo. Big difference between 2nd and 3rd that year

Some thoughts

Really surprised at how poor Gawn was. I thought he could kick a little, it's like he's been learning off spencer. One game in so hopefully a once off

I think Dawes and hogan will be a great twin towers combo

Newton will be a good player

I liked T macs games. Got involved

Really happy with how we cam back in the third. Freo were putting in and had a strong team out

Now to get a win against the saints. Bring watts Viney etc in

Do people forget that garland was an inch away from winning the bluey the year before last?

I am confident he will get his mojo back

2008 game vs Freo is on Fox Footy at the moment, if anyone wants to whet the appetite...

I just saw scully wearing 31 and I threw in my mouth a little

GAME DAY!! WOO HOO. no games since August is friggen ridiculous

CARN THE DEES! dont really care if we win but itll just be great to watch us play again.

(im excited)

Just you Dub, cannot stand You am I, one of my most hated bands EVER!

I have heard nothing but good things about KISS live, and all very recent concerts.

They will be fine, they created rock entertainment.

Wow didnt know You Am I could emote should a response

Exactly what I mean when I said its impossible to please everyone

Maybe Taylor Swift is free?

I agree. I assume Johnny Farnham must be busy?

but the thing is, who would you have instead?

garauntee it is impossible to please everyone with music

I'd just You Am I to play it every year. but thats just me. :-)

I don't see GWS improving much. Lost Patton and Boyd. Plowman out again so not many good key backs. Deep through the midfield but I suspect a few lads will be looking to leave at years end. I reckon we will finish above them.

I see us above gws Carlton, dogs, dons, west coast, st kilda finish around 12th

West coast have lost Kerr cox embley waters and now b&f Mckenzie. Not a good midfield

Can't believe Beer is not being lowered. Its the only thing I buy at the footy and I have a lot of it, mostly to numb the pain

have to go back to sneaking in some whisky

Far out this is depressing. Season hasn't even started and people are thinking a pass mark is losing 16 games?!

We really should have won 6 in 2014 given how many close ones we were in. I know it's easy to we should have, but I believe that

So saying 6 is a pass is expecting not much improvement at all. Surely we have more expectation than that?

Anything less that 8 wins is not a pass for me. I'm expecting 8-10 wins. And it's not about saying which other teams won't improve, that'll take care of itself. There are so many surprises each year. Who would thought flag favourites west coast would not make finals. Or that we would beat the crows away etc.

We have a lot of middle tier players that should improve and are in their peak years watts howe garland grimes

And we have heaps of young talent that should naturally get fitter and better viney Tyson Salem etc

Go dees!

The Freo and Essendon games will be on fox.

The bulldogs game won't be televised.

Thanks mate. Guess I'll have to head up to Ballarat for the dogs game then

Hi all. Anyone know which of our games are televised?

Well I've had a good sleep and the dust has settled on this terrible news and Im still as angry and devastated as yesterday!!!

The poor bloke! I am just hoping to any higher power that might exist that this does not lead to re-occurrance and that he still becomes a great player for us

I assume from that, you expected him to be there from Round 1 and dominate?

He is one player from a squad of over 40, yes from what I have seen at training, he could have come in early and been a really good players for us

But we have had too much expectation placed on young shoulders previously

Hopefully with the really good medical and fitness regime we have in place he can make a full recovery

of course not. Im worried about his career. how many times do we see re-occurrances of ACLs? Anyway just wanted to be able to rant and have a sook without being told to calm down and look on the bright side

thats all

Seriously doubt I will take your advice DD

At this point we have little idea if he will be a champ or a chump.

Lots of supposed Champs end up Chumps.

Lets just wait and see before we step in front of the nearest train.

You are right, there is no evidence that this potential number 1 draft pick can play football. ill calm down and give it a few years to see if this injury ruined his career

thanks for the advice

can everyone telling people to 'calm down' just pi$$ off??? possibly our best recruit has done his ACL, one of the worst and hardest to recover from injuries you can do. We are allowed to be upset. if you are not upset, good on ya.

i could have taken a shoulder or an ankle but not a fricken ACL from our new dynamic midfielder forward. FFAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK!

cant we just have one high pick come in and be awesome? too much to ask?

The thought of Salem rolling off half back and hitting up the hard leading Hogan is enough to give up my search for a meaningful relationship

When the cats crash out of the 8, it's going to happen, no matter how successful the club there is always a crash, Steve Johnson will have trouble with his ankle foot all year, he has been able to play with it for years but at his age these things catch upto him, I think they have recruit in the wrong area. And when it happens Mitch will fall back in depression, he is weak of mind that's a sad fact about depression, but depression does not always point to quitters, that's different Mitch is a quitter.

What a horribly ignorant post. If you don't know anything about depression, the mental illness, it's best to say nothing. Depression is a disease that can strike people for no reason. It's like saying someone that has a brain aneurysm is weak of mind.

I just hate the word 'Cliche'.

Ban it

Not lucky at all.

We went out and got him and had the balls to trade pick 2 which was widely criticised

DT is quickly becoming my fav player

everyone was calling Petracca "Truck"....you must be a KIwi?...they call him "Trac' or "Tracca", Brayshaw is Gus, Oscar Mc gets 'Osc" and White gets "Whitey", haven't got the others yet

Missing today Fitzpatrick, Vince and JKH (Dave Misson said he was crook)

Asked Dave Misson about training and Maroochydore, training finishes a week on Friday then back on 5th Jan, week here and then 5 sessions in Maroochydore, so a week and a bit, said no specific heat training, just training in the heat and the humidity, footy will be main focus, probably good away from other prying eyes

Rehab group today Watts, McKenzie, Kent (who now has a rather cool full arm tattoo), Stretch, Spencer, Riley and a triking Jack Trengove

For all the Gawndog lovers, he was pumped today, did 5 out of the 6 drills, as he towers over me, was showered in the sweat that was pouring off him whilst he was talking to me

Another Dunny bit, was doing marking and spoiling drills with Miller coaching and on the bag, Miller stressed that they needed to do it like they were in a game, so Dunny proceeded to put his elbow into Miller's ribs, Miller responded by giving Dunn a fearsome whack with the bag

Howie was showing off his one handed skills, managed to get his thumb trapped in a jumper during a drill last Friday, didn't dislocate but has it heavily strapped

Photos will be on Twitter Demonpk

thanks for the report TDI

bit harsh on the Kiwis but, you aussies pronouce Trac and Truck pretty the same I reckon! (assuming youre an aussie)

anyway, just thought id tackle the big issues

thats 2,000 in a week!

might be to do with the flyers that went out last week. "You have picks 2 and 3, but DubDee you are pick one" yada yada. sign up you lazy ba$tard

should get onto it

Wing, high half fwd. he is bloody fit. wasted deep in forward line.

imagine having him on the wing one on one. T Mac has the ball under pressure in def 50. best bail-out kick there is. look for Howey, hack it in his general direction, he'll sit on the blokes head!

then hit up Hogan and BANG! GOAL!

coverage starts at 6:30? does anyone know when the first pick will be announced? I want to avoid the rubbish coverage as much as possible

I especially love when they have panel chat or interviews with parents while first round picks are being announcing!

I think they are going from pick 1 to pick 10 this year and not the opposite which is better
