Redleg

You will recall we stood by him during this period. Is he currently playing, I believe not. I loved the little guy, but he lacked the necessary dedication to make it in Melbourne.

Depends on who they picked instead.

Dew was happy to stay with his club and train hard. Prepared to give his all for the cause. Aussie just wanted to go home and catch turtles with his mates.

Agree. He is apparently so out of condition, it would take 3 preseasons to get him half fit.

I wish Brent all the best if he leaves and thanks for his efforts. What I am disappointed in, is that we allegedly have a player that 6 clubs are interested in and it doesn't appear that we will be able to trade him and get a good return. Instead we will be given a compo pick and I can predict now, it will be a poor one, far less than one we might have got for trading him or the value of a player we might have got.

Good post, you have written off a kid's career because he had an injury this year. So glad you are not our recruiter. This kid will be a good player for us. I will remind you of your post in a couple of years.

Just watched an interview on Dee TV with Jordie McKenzie hosted by his sister Ellie. While Jordie isn't the best looking rooster in the barn, Ellie is quite cute with a very good personality. You would not pick her as Jordie's sister. Before I am attacked, Jordie is one of my favourite Dees and we always have a chat when I get to training.

There is a fair bit of vitriol and angst on another thread that has now been locked. I was going to suggest they have a banana split, chill out and enjoy life, like we do on this thread.

Do we both love Thalia Menenger?

It was a hilarious gag in the show, when the beatnik odd ball posed the question and of course no one knew the answer. The expression on the faces of the cast when he gave the answer was priceless.

Walter.

Sad news. RIP. Great show. For the trivia buffs, do you know what the G stood for in Maynard G. Krebs, the beatnik played by Bob "Gilligan" Denver in "the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."

I'd pay the petrol and the tolls.

How would this complicate matters? Tippett goes to GC for their pick 2. Would they go mini draft or Grundy or Toumpas?

Well I would hope that with 3 and 4 we might get a Toumpas and an U17 and I am pretty sure they should be ok.

Lucky I have an Optimism Regulator, which has just given me a warning shot of electricity.

Ed also noticed that he started to tear up when discussing Jimmy. Even though he only met Jimmiy a couple of times, it clearly had a profound effect on him.

I think you can guarantee that young JV will be a good player.

Oh come on OD, it's not that bad. A few good draft picks and some good trades and we will be off and running. Add a hard pre season, a decent run with injuries and natural development of some of our younger players. I am going off to book my 2013 GF seats in anticipation.

\The absolute worst thing I have ever seen written on Demonland. Unless of course you meant to insert two words in the middle and forgot, the words being " to Hell ".

Don't forget the $650000.00 he needs to get from them for next year. Polite until paid would be the rule.

Well former Carlton Premiership Coach and Player Robert Walls said exactly that in today's Age. Given the previous comments of Libba and Fev, there has to be at least a two month AFL inquiry into this.

Illness puts things in perspective. Good luck Ray.

How disappointing is it, that I am looking forward to the trading and drafting, more than I looked forward to about the last 80% of this season?

Yes, you have to be careful about that, you could even end up with a 2 month inquiry on tanking if you relied on that that.
