I wished they'd given Newton a 1 yr deal last year!

fantastic

I want to taste it. I sick of honourable losses, good efforts, not reading newspapers for the negative press, the tanking issue, only really being interested in Casey and the progression of our kids, and so forth. And hopefully and with a bit of luck, the TASTE OF SUCCESS out of the Premiership cup!

I agree, but no more excuses, no more mediocrity, it won’t happen overnight (I wish) but it has to happen!

Well what a year, no 2 years. From the beginning of the year our expectations were so high, and then by round 10 we were already looking at draft picks. Now that has happened, and we have lived though possibly the worst 2 years I want to remember, we need to forget the past. We now need “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS!” We will have little or no excuses, as I recall there was a post recently showing with this year’s draft picks, we will have 16 players who were picks in the top 21 over the past few years. Only the Saints, Blue’s and the dawks, can boast picks like these in recent times. So Jimmy, Bail’s Swaby, Chris C and all the guys behind the scenes it now up to you to give us long suffering Demon supporters the “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS” we want, we need, no we now demand. You have the supporters, our debt is diminishing, we will have the players, and we have the best president. What is stopping us!! Go D’s 2010 and beyond!

With the confirmed departures of Wheels, Wheats, and Robbo, and now rumors of PJ, Barts, Miller and Newton, boy they were basically the back bone of our team last year. Well no time to be sentimental. i suppose you have to look at all the players on the list and ask yourself, are you good enough to be part of a premiership team, or even more so to be a premeriership player!

Without going trough all the previous draft, are there any other clubs that would have anything as good, and if they do, obviously, their return is far better!

Don't forget round 18 for this year too! With 16 players in the top 21 over a few years we should expect something!

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but, the bombers need ruck options, how about Jamar to the bombers with 3rd or 4th round pick pick for Davey's brother!

Thats just the way i saw it. Not that i take much notice of dream team points,Jamar received only58 points. it was possibly MJ's best game for the MFC, however 6 kicks one hand pass imo is not worthy of a BOG vote, even though 5 of those 6 kicks were goal, and at Full forward thats your job. imo the guys that i voted for had more impact to get the ball into the forward line.

A fantastic little general of our back line.

6 - Sylvia 5 - Davey 4- McDonald 3- Jetta 2- Robbo 1- Bate Brock, unless you are injured, for a senior player one of your worst!

"Tanking" what?! at the moment with less than 24 fit players, we coudn't tank even if we tried!

Couldn't put it much better. Forget the press, Go D's 2010!

Dont have an iphone, and dont want one. Not many people have one.

The Media was looking for anything to hang their "Tank" hat on. I bet if they look at every game with the same rose coloured glasses the same will apply. look at supposedly Last years best forward "Buddy" 2 goals 7, did the dawks tank?, did Buddy have a bet on? Wake up you guys.

Are you kidding. Has anyone questioned, St kilda with 9 top ten draft picks in their current side, the Dawks with their 5 picks in the top 20 to get Ruffnut and Franklin an Co a few years ago, was the same scrutiny on Carltank two years ago what the media is giving us, Essendon cheating the salary cap that won them a flag, and so on. Give us a frigin break, Im so sick of it. if any opposition supporters complain, let them look in their own backyard first!! :angry:

Please don't count your chickens just yet, if we beat Freo, we could finish 15th on percentage

Unfortunatley i wasn't at the game, but i have just seen the highlights, one thing is every one of those guys today want a win, an d few of them are playing for their future. Credit to those guys. Yep i want picks 1 & 2, but you could not have planned that finish if you wre trying to loose, IMO.

I/C: M.Whelan, S.Valenti, N.Jetta, C.Morton, Emergencies: J.Spencer, C.Sylvia, S.Buckley I know I want picks 1 & 2, I know the kids playing are trying there best, BUT, Col, not playing, morton, down on form, Jetta, better than Col, Buckley, not showing form in the VFL, and on a side note Bail from, just about AFL selection to VFL 2nd's, what did he do, point his private parts at some ones Auntie? I think i need to go to sleep until October, it will be all over then!

they will get picks 1 and 3

yep, its Richmond!

Yes I want the No 1 and No2 draft pick, but sorry i can never support the opposition!

Hear Hear!

Once again defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, however, for those who prefer for us win more than 5 games, what if West Tank eagles go for the prority pick, not forgetting their supporters have seen their team win a flag in 1992, 1994 and again in 2006. How would you feel if they got Scully and won another flag in 5 years? 11 different sides have won a flag since 1990, the only teams yet to see success is MFC, St Kilda, Tigers, Bullies and Freo. Of these the Saint and the Bullies may have a chance soon. It comes to how far MFC, Freo and the Tigers. For me I am yet to see the MFC win a flag, 45 years since it happened. We have a better chance of seeing Haley's comet again if we don't do something now!
