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.

Put them in the fridge and get them cold and then cut them up and put them on your cereal. Yummy.

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.

You are right of course, but with this club unless something is set in stone, it can't be guaranteed. I hope this is the last time I want us to lose a game.

Not yet. About 10PM saturday I might be. I think we need Swans to beat Cats and North to not kill GWS. Then I would be. Or if Cats win but WCE lose then North smashes GWS I would be.

Why ruin an opinion with facts to back it up, or at least base it on?

Might be part of a three way deal. Keep Tippett in mind. On the other hand, could Crows get pick 2 from GC and use it on Grundy?

If North smash GWS by say 100 points Freo can have a nice 7-10 goal win and achieve their destination.

Our favourite Melbourne supporter sinks the boot in again. OTC monday he said "I guarantee Melbourne won't win a flag by 2030". If only we had more like him. It's like having a skunk for a pet.

Lets not waste our time talking about Jordie. He is doing his job and doing it well. Plenty of others who don't and worse can't.

Could be worse, we could be playing him in the wrong sport.

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.

So clearly a side that didn't need to not win, as they couldn't win anyway.

Hopefully not a concern as both WCE, Geelong and North games are over before we play. If North smashes GWS, Fre would know how much they can beat us by without losing 8th spot, if WCE are in 5th. For that matter I think Freo would prefer Pies over Cats as first up opponent if it's over here .

Next we will have a thread on our poor drafting. Oops!
