Bitter but optimistic

Well my optimistic half won out and I have just upgraded from Trident to Legend. Hope it's a good investment!

I haven't read the entire thread but posters are talking 700k. Would this make him our highest paid player? Is he worth this? Does he deserve the right to be more highly paid than any other player? Answers please.

I would like to see Sylvia play as a virtually permanent forward with the occasional run in the midfield. He has played some very good footy there, even at CHF( which he clearly isn't). He can lead, take a contested mark, he is an opportunist, and he is a good kick. With the likes of Clark, Dawes and Hogan in the area he could be very dangerous.

It's a place where Kiwis have multiple sex partners.

Or the Gat!

Ok DC, I have carried out some exhaustive research, including access to Biffen’s private document library at the Gat. Here are my conclusions which I think can be considered definitive. The Giants were more properly called the Phillistines which, of course became shortened to the Phillies. This name was also adopted by a later New World team which was far more successful and rich but were often confused with the originals. Further, many commentators, yourself included I believe, fell into the trap of thinking the Jerusalem Alpacas merged with the Camels. A patently untrue and insidious assertion. David, however, the villain of the piece, ironically, went on to a very successful political career. Goliath, the unfortunate recipient of the behind the play incident, was never the same again – A bit like John Greening of the filth.

No way.

Some lovely content on this thread. Thanks, it is uplifting to read good feeling stories on any media.

Tales differ here. I heard that the giants were awarded the points because of an incident involving a player named David. Apparently he felled a giant off the ball. There was also an, I believe outrageous, story that a rock was used.

Must have meant theJerusalem Alpacas DC

Ha Ha Ha. That's funny.

Nah [censored] Moon. The comparison is reasonable. I with my mate Stuie on this.

Keep your hands on the keyboard Moon!

Now, Now Fowl! You’re starting to sound like Moonshadow and you are far more intelligent than him (well just about everyone is I suppose). A couple of points. Without going through the whole history of Dland , I’m sure there are worse threads than this – in fact I may have started some myself. As for unfounded optimism and unimaginative clichés – well this is the land of clichés. Ban clichés and you might as well close D’land – in fact close football. Finally, if you think it is [censored], don’t read it and let the rest of us dream.

Jake Spencer gets very little good press on Demonland. I rate him above Gawn at the moment. In fact, given his tackling, second efforts and mobility, I rate him as numero uno ruckman. I'm predicting a breakout year for Spencil.

Are we going to attract A grade midfielders? Who in that category is realistically available anyway? Sloane is only early 20's or so and I would rate him like having a second Nathan Jones. I would cop that for pic 2 simply because it might be the best deal we get.

At about this time last year , I put on $50 to win $500 - Dees for the eight. This year I'll just spend the $50 on 2or 3 decent reds.

Nicholson to have a kicking efficiency of above 80%.

I'm with you OD. I'll pay up my Trident membership, I'll hope, I'll buy a raffle ticket and a 2014 shirt but I wont believe improvement until I see it on the scoreboard.

I'd have rather Pedo had gone and retained Sellar. Similar abilities but I reckon Sellar had more heart and desparation

You're a bit confused as usual Moon. Get with it - Frog has the situation in hand.

One needs a brain and the other needs a heart. This aint Kansas and I doubt Roos is the Wizard.

Nah, a bit soft Moon. I'll claim the points on this exchange.

A good shiraz kicks it in - I don't know how you handle the single malts. Better leave this subject alone on this thread.

That's funny!! I have that [censored] about 30% of the time but it jumps to 100% when I watch Melbourne.
