The No T$ No B$ Thread
For the readers of this thread I will pass on a conversation I had with our President recently. I told him that I and most other Dees supporters, are furious at our treatment in the media this year. Sheahan, Denham, Roos, Smith, Robbo, Warner and others have slammed us mercilessly. Even attacking us for having our players in their blazers at Jim's funeral. While criticism of our onfield efforts is warranted , what is not are comments like those from Sheahan that " we are a disgusting and pathetic club". That comment basically covers every employee and supporter of the club. In all my years of following footy, I think that is the lowest comment I have heard about us and it came from a so called supporter. In light of the above, I asked Don, after the tanking inquiry result is published and assuming we are cleared, would he go on the offensive, as best he could against our detractors, bearing in mind we need the media as well. I told him we needed to stand up and be seen to be defending our club. He agreed and said that would happen. I await his response with great anticipation. PS. I will never forgive Sheahan for those comments and hope to see him somewhere, where he will learn of my displeasure.

I think we will keep him for one more year in hope, as it would be too much of an embarrassment to admit we stuffed up with pick 12 . There are enough others who have had a chance and been found wanting who will go first. If he gets another year he will have to show something or he will be gone. It has been suggested to me that we might delist and rookie him. No danger of anyone else grabbing him.

On a different note, Jack Fitzpatrick has been getting better each week and is now kicking a few goals each game. He is moving well and starting to really look much more confident in his game. He has also filled out considerably and with a good pre season, I believe we will have another big strong versatile player. Much like Martin he can play ruck or key forward and he has pace as well. With Gawn they look like our future big man department and not to forget we have a another huge player at full forward in Clark.

Our late President says we didn't tank and that no instruction to tank was ever given, but that rather we took advantage of a system, that he didn't agree with anyway. His captain concurs and said the MFC didn't tank while he was there, which was during the relevant period. We have heard another player PJ, say that we didn't tank. Our coach has previously said that he coached to assist the development of the club and in the interests of the club. He never said we tanked. The club was investigated then and cleared. Brock McLean never said we tanked but rather experimented. The AFL don't believe tanking exists. Surely this will end positively for us soon.
