    Just watched the Dees win over the Tigers last year again on Fox Footy. Denigrated players Pedo, Toumpas and Watts were among our best. Also Matt Jones had plenty of the ball but as usual his disposal let him down. If he could fix that part of his game he would be a handy player as he can find the ball.

    How about, "what goes better with a fungal infection, red or white? Or, is a kiss and cuddle with my fungal infection out of question?

    Well you could have asked her first.

    Just the thought of it is making me ill.

    More likely Mission Impossible or Austin Powers.

    Up on the Coast with WJ. We should be able to pick the opening match Dees team after a short discussion.

    Are we working backwards now?

    Keep running into Dees fans and the feeling of optimism is widespread.

    The comparison was to Gary Jnr, as far as accumulating the possies, but also to Gary Snr in regards to the freakish goals. Petracca is more like Gary Snr's size and is apparently a strong overhead mark, but also able to create goal from nothing. This team mate of Petracca's and his former Coach, have both said that they think the Saints were mad to pass him up. FWIW, the Saints acknowledged that Petracca is the better player, but that they drafted for need. I hope he is as good as some are saying, we need a few breaks. If he is, we have really got lucky with this draft. On paper only, I think this is one of the best draft/trade periods I can recall for us. One thing we know, is that Roos has changed 50% of the list since he arrived and there will be a few more changes at season's end.

    I wouldn't have wasted the 10 seconds typing if it was.

    Spoke to my nephew, who knows someone who played with Petracca, who described him as Ablettesque.

    Merry Xmas guys, have a happy and healthy new year and of course Go Dees.

    Given our recent history I don't think people are expecting him to be a superstar from his first game. I am sure they would wait until his second game.

    I went last week and they looked in pretty good shape except of course Trenners and Watts nursing a groin. Hogan won 3 x 1k runs and looks just awesome. I have a man crush on him. Billy Stretch is slight and was also on a modified day. Petracca and Brayshw look ready to go with the mature recruits like HT, Garlett, Frost and Newton. They worked hard and the vibe was good with a lot of encouragement being given by players to team mates. I really believe there is a change in culture with most players from the losing culture having left. I am optimistic of a good year of improvement depending of course on injuries.

    Carlton are trying really hard to bump up their membership numbers, with lots of publicity about how good they are going ATM. Daisy and Kreuzer are being pumped up by MM, who is adopting a new, ultra media friendly personality. It is sickening.

    Yes RIP Joe and you'll get by in heaven, With a Little Help from Your Friends.

    You mean I get a free movie ticket when I buy a bottle of Pinot?
  23. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    To you wine experts, is a Pinot always a Noir, or are they different reds. Also isn't a Pinot Grigio white?

    Sorry to discuss footy on the thread, but I taped the Crows v Dees game and have just watched the 1st quarter again. I tried to concentrate more on what we were doing than the result, as of course I know it. In that 1st quarter, Matt Jones made about 6 skill errors. Frawley was easily beaten for possession quite a few times. JKH showed some real endeavour and talent. Watts looked good when he went, which was rare. Dawes fumbled about 5 marking attempts. Terlich was brilliant at giving the ball back. It is interesting watching the game with a different mind set.
