Old Man Rivers

How did I forget Woewodin? Ross Brewer - Another from the early 80's? Allan Davis Phil Carmen Any 70's posters able to confirm Glen Swann? I can't remember if he went across to the filth?

Dee's V Pies trades Off the Top of my head Simon Buckley Peter Moore Glen McKlean Danny Seow There Must be more

Ok how many of us where massive Mitch Clark fans this time last year. I admired the way the bloke went about his footy but had no idea the impact he would have at the MFC I have a gut feel Dawes will make a similiar statement in the Red & Blue Thumbs up for a positive thread 19

Spot on RR The kid was always going to be a sensation. At least I have him locked away in my Ultimate Footy side for 2013

It.s called negotiating P_Man Walsh wouldn't be earning his coin if he didn't make these noises. Dawes will arrive in the Red & Blue & it will be on our terms, the Pies must move him on & they know it.

Right at this point it seems like "the road to nowhere" . 2012 has been insanely difficult to support . It's time to walk the walk. We need to land some fresh stock quickly. Just like Big Mitch I reckon we will land a big fish that hasn't t even been mentioned yet. Trade week will be bigger than FA for Neeldy.

This Chinless pr-ck just keeps trying to kick the MFC in the head Single handedly instigates a new investigation into MFC tanking & now follows up with this tweet. Every dog has his day

You blokes have NFI Monfries would be best 22 for most teams in the AFL Just remember while we have been crap for the last 6 years, Monfries has kicked over 150 goals for The Bombers Just remind me when we last had a small forward contributing 25 plus goals in a season. I can't think of one since The Wizard!

Screw Manning Up , sticking Fat, character building [censored]. I agree with Soidee - 6 Years of sub - standard Football is enough. I have stuck fat for nearly 50 years & right now this side is sucking the life out of my passion for this great game. I am taking no shots at Neeld here, I actually love the bloke, but for the sake of every Demon supporter's sanity we have to begin to take some positive steps forward on the field from 2013. 6 Years FFS is long enough. Driving home on that wet Friday night in September 2006 after we had taken The Saints out of the finals seems like a lifetime ago. Yep feeling pretty duped also @ this point in time. PS : Range Rover - Classic

Dane Swan - Of all the weeks to get on the [censored] & get suspended he choses week one of the Ultimate Footy Finals. Ranked No. 1 in the comp, this must be a set up? DeeVoted you have friends in high places.

HT & RR - Great debate Lads but this is Norm Smith Ultimate Footy Week one of the finals. Lets stay on topic & get back to some good old fashioned 2011 style Finals debate & sledging. DeeVoted - Hope you reconsider your plight. I agree there has been alot of debate & controversy surrounding the Keepers concept. However I am certain this has now all been worked through & won't be an issue going forward. Despite being destroyed by the OMR juggernaught next weekend, hang around in 2013 you have always been a tough opponent & very fair to negotiate & trade with throughout the 1st 2 seasons.

Peter Knights & Paul Van Der Haar also say Hi - At the Dee's only Robbo comes close in my time. Howe is well on the way to joining some elite company, can't wait to see what he can produce in September.

It's Official Team OMR has timed the run to perfection & landed in the 8. Deevoted I hope you enjoyed this weekend's close game because we get to do it all again next week. Its was a very close game this weekend -As mentioned I just got over the line in Kicks & H. Balls You just got over the line in Hit Outs x 3 * Accuracy x .008 Wipe the slate clean & I will see you on the bigger dance floor next week. Good luck to all other finalist's & well played to the entire comp on a great home & Away season. Let the carnage I promised begin!!!!!!!!!

Home & Away done & dusted Anyone calculated the final 8 finish?

Great game RPFC - Very happy I came out on top thanks to some huge efforts from my new "Keeper recruits" Keiren Jack & Jack Darling. Big thanks to Watts CookN for that awesome trade early last week. I am sure Jones & Walker will hold up for you also in the run home. Definately a fair bit to play out in the final round. JCB - Nobody needs to take pity on you, every week you claim you have no chance & your team gets over the line. You are the flag favorite my friend, get used to it I reckon you will take home the bacon in 2012. One of The Brothers Robbo24 or Snomed a huge chance to sneak into the 8. Wacko Jako, RPFC both massively under the pump to hang in there now. My agenda - Take out Deevoted & sneak in the 8 myself. This has a "de ja vu feel" about it for team OMR. I charged home last year only to miss the 8 on %. Who will crumble at the last hurdle? Who will live the fairytale & charge into the 8? For those old enough to remember this has the final Home & Away round 1987 written all over it. Good Luck to all next week. That's everyone except Deevoted of course!

Bate Bennell Dunne Fitzpatrick Jetta Petterd Morton This exercise is too depressing to continue.

King Of Pain - THE POLICE

Ablett Trade vetoed - Was always a 50/50 that trade would not get through. I understand the thought process from both sides but you have to run the Veto gauntlet. You both came up a little short on this occasion. Personally I didn't have a huge drama with the trade. I am just very happy I managed to land 2 Lock Keepers in Kieren Jack & Jack Darling (U 21) in the final week of trading. Jack Attack made a huge mistake listing Taylor Walker as a 1991 keeper when in fact he was born in 1990. Took me until Monday of this week to uncover this error & charge into damage repair mode for 2013 season. Finally Dappa Dan, I have said this to Range Rover, JCB & DL7, all who have threatend to leave this comp in the past few month's. Stay, this is a game only, lets not take ourselves too serious here. I honestly reckon The Dee's disgraceul plight in 2012 is messing with everyones head's. Stick around Dappa, we can all attack UF 2013 with greater focus after The Demons clean up at the draft, Trade week & score a Free Agency gem. .

Too late to change anything in 2012 JCB is correct we need to get some clear direction of how this all plays out from 2013 onwards. We have a great comp happening here, we just need some minor tweeking to remove the grey area's.

Agree with this entirely RPFC - Encourages all to keep fighting to the death You won't make the finals, but if you want the No. 1 Draft pick you keep improving all season long. Thumbs up for option 2 from OMR.

Yeah fair enough Crawf52, you sound like you have definately done your tour of duty following The Dee's. Sadly I was only 1 in 1964 & have zero memories of our last great day. Just like having kids we signed up for life following this bloody football team. My greatest memories are those two huge preliminary final victories in 88 against The Blues & 2000 against The Roos. I know how I felt after those games & can only imagine what it feels like to win that one extra game on GF day. Your right of course until then we simply have to keep the faith & as much as it kills me to say " Be Patient" again.

I also agree with most of what Bergly has suggested. However Crawf52 I scoff at the - "Lets Wait Patiently" classic line. What The Fark have we been doing for the last 48 years? I want the New House built, completed, keys handed over sooner rather than later. For the 1st time in nearly 5 decades I have felt my passion wavering in 2012. I am hoping for some serious new personal to arrive in the off season to help fast track Neeldy's big picture.

Another Huge round in Ultimate Footy Dane Swan - 49 disposals if you dont mind, launched me over the line against Whacko Jako Very excited to have Kieren Jack & Jack Darling joining the line up this week for the run home. JCB V Robbo was a massive game. Great job JCB getting over line, that result has definately helped keep my slim finals hopes alive. Scarlett taking out Dappa Dan also very important in the final shaping of the ladder. Well done to all other winners, lots of twists & turns still to come in the last 2 home & away rounds.

DL7 & JCB - Welcome back boy's Group Hug, Hi 5, all brothers revealed, now lets all switch on for the run home. I actually agree with JCB this season has not had the mojo of 2011 As much as I like the Keepers concept I hate the fact that several teams are no longer competing in the current season. I guess we will all have a better idea at the end of 2013 which way to move forward.

Home from work to another two pages on this situation. JCB - Just to confirm are you actually leaving the Comp over this trade? or have you stated your opinion & you are moving on & staying in the comp? I would be very dissapointed if both yourself & DL7 quit the comp over this. Time for cool heads to kick in here, agree to disagree & reload for this weeks game's. LIke I stated earlier if you leave I will be reconsidering my position in this comp also. We had 100% retention rate this season why the fark have we imploded in year 2. We have all agreed to review Keepers after next year if it's causing unrepairable damage we will abandon it. Everyone calm down, hang in there & stay on course. Finally anyone interested in Nathan Jones?
