Banana or Strawberry daiquiri permitted?

Ahh, now we know who Chris' alter ego is. Been channeling him for years.

OK, OK. I admit it. .................. I am not Chris from Camberwell. But gee, it does make any Dees supporter cringe when he gets on talk back radio. If he utters any prognostication, you don't even have to think about putting in the waster paper bin.

Actually Clint I reckon it's very likely and makes a lot of sense.

As I said above, the usual 'banal' defence. When devoid of rational argument, all ya gotta do is stoop to puerile name calling.

I don't think it was the photos in themselves that caused the problem, rather it was the comment/s which were attributed to them. The banal line of defence by some - and I don't mean you - that we are being too PC is just ridiculous and does not bear any proper scrutiny. Women have not just suffered in modern history, but for aeons. It is not pc to attempt to remove what has been endemic and intrinsic in a male dominated world since time immemorial. Anyway MD, as I said above, it's done, let's move on and get on with talking about what it will take to make the Dees great again.

Support what the mods have done here. No need to debate he said, she said issues. It's done, move one.

me too. Surely it is hard to tell who the PM is these days? They change so often.

On tippin winners at the races, I give him a big fat zero. On his footy connections, I'd give him a 7

I once predicted the fall of the Roman Empire. Seriously, I have no information other than what my snout gave me. That's all.

Can't be sure on that one LH, but I would think sometime after the Granny is done and dusted.

Not my prediction Ernest. It comes from my 'reliable source'

Do I get a last wish?

You've made my day Bub. Heard from the axiomatic 'reliable source' that Roosy is currently walking around with a smile he just can't wipe of his face. Apparently he is pretty chuffed at landing another 'big fish', which will be announced when the time is right. I just hope my 'reliable source' is correct.

Didn't Derryn Grinch renounce the MFC sometime ago, due to his perception of the MFC's treatment of women? I wouldn't lose any sleep if he did

I think Adam Scott has a link to the Dees, given his friendship with Jeff White.

Let's just hope the seal doesn't break.

Ahem

And that is the sad reality that confronts the MFC in the not too distant future. Where will the next generation of supporters come from, if we don't turn this around soon?

Yes, you are!!!!!

P-Man, you must have quivered at RW's erudite retort? Not!!!! At least if you are going to slag off at someone, you would reckon you could get your spelling right. It might just be that RW's jewels are in his head.

He's not on his own there. It is testament to the kid that he still has a go, given the environment he has had to endure of more recent times. The malaise in some players on the list - who we all know should be better - is symptomatic of the root cause. That is, for too long, this club has viewed first round draft picks as a panacea, without continuing to develop from within, in terms of skill improvement, leadership and culture with existing lists. Whoever takes the coaching reins in 2014, will have this to fix, as one of their main briefs.

Kevin Sheedy? ................. only jokin'

Neeld's stance is very welcome in my view and long over due. I wonder now, for those of us that had the temerity to question DB and his football department, whether we are somewhat vindicated now. Neeld's assessment of some in the squad, as reported, would seem to suggest so. No doubt, DB is a terrific fella, but not what we needed at our stage of development in 2011. Onwards and upwards I say
