Nothing like a combination of selective memory and re-writing history. Welcome to the boards but I can't agree with much you've written.

But how many days is that Red'?

He says before India slump to 5-15.

Requesting a trade and walking are two different things.

Green, Davey, Grimes, Jamar, Frawley, Moloney, Scully, Trengove, Watts and Jurrah. Plus 20+ others that I missed.

So, no finals for the Dees in 2011 ey? Ha.

Good: If you don't want to be at Melbourne, Melbourne sure as hell don't need you at us.

Ciao.

Johnson, quite consistently, bowls trash. I can't believe he's one of the best we have going around. Him mouthing off to Mathews the other night was laughable.

Phew

You're kidding, right?

Back on. A little analysis for naysayers (procrastinators); last years effort from Demonlanders produced this: Finishing 12th: Correct. But we managed to only name 1 of the teams that we finished above correctly. 77% of posters had us winning 7-10 games, with the games that more than 50% of us believed we'd win leaving us with 9. This I will call correct. Again, however, we struggled with the teams! Of the 8 wins we had, we only correctly picked Richmond (twice), Sydney, Port Adelaide and Essendon. Less than 25% of us had us beating Brissie, 1% of us had us beating them a second time. 13% of us had us beating Adelaide. On the flip side, 77% of us had us beating North and 70% had us beating West Coast. So, somehow, we were able to pretty accurately predict number of wins and ladder position.

So...did you actually read the post I was responding to... or mine? BBP claims if we don't sign Bruce we don't play finals this year. I disagree, as much because I don't think we'll be relying on a 31-32 year old, possible role player by next year, as well as considering the types of players we should have in the backline, midfield and forwardline winning us matches. You then retort by saying that you rely on 22-40 players to make finals, hence, you also disagree with BBP. Typical over-reacting.

THORW IT BACK, THROW IT BACK!

If we're relying on Cam Bruce to win us matches in August, we won't be playing finals regardless.

Absolute insanity. Meanwhile North makes 19 from 73 against the Poms. It's not even another nail, surely it's the fourth dumping of dirt.

Apparently you would have me live in a dictatorship where I am not allowed to challenge your opinion. I just don't get why some on this site are happy to challenge others' opinions, but when someone challenges their opinion they are "evil and sick" and "don't care about the club." I won't even go into defending myself on the last point, I'll leave that up to what I know and others can make their own minds up if they wish.

Oh no! Unnamed past-player is concerned about an assistant coaching appointment for reasons which have nothing to do with his coaching ability... Can I ask a question; if Connolly knew Hird was going to get the gig at Essendon so early, and Wellman and Hird are such great mates, is there no way that Wellman would also have had this information? Wow, hang on, more revelations. 2011 (Bailey's FOURTH year as coach) will be a real test? Better call the Herald Sun or Sandra Sully and let them know.

150 of us in a shoe box in the middle of the road!

Simon Godfrey? QB '06? 45 out?? Wrong foot? He was special in front of goal...

I miss when they all played at Sandy and the lineup was something like Johnson, Johnson, Johnston, Johnston and Johnstone.

How does it work? Do you select your 21 with 3 emergencies and one of those can be a sub? Or 21 + sub?

I reckon! Should've been dragged after the first.

Fair enough.

Didn't watch the Dees Dogs game this year?
