old dee

Every time I think about this subject I get a warm feeling. I really think we lucked into the best situation possible.

Ok hence forth he is John Smith ( wink wink )

I have a feeling that is what will happen to Bartram.

Now that would make an interesting thread "who are the Five?" That would generate some interesting heated debate.

I fear for the Dogs I see them in a not to disimilar spot to the MFC a couple of years ago. Team now of average quality, low members numbers, Debt and looking to re build with Kids. Sounds like the MFC 2009

Does anyone have an idea in light of recent additions how many players we have to move on at present? I have got to admit I have lost track

What the hell has happened to Dale Roberts not a mention of him anywhere?

Not sure they will be part of the team yet olisik Evans back injury worries me he has the ability imo but if you cannot get on the park it is a big problem.

And I am not flush with what seemed like an unending supply 20 years ago. I am in no rush to start the 2013 season Deeoldfart it will mean another 4 months of my life will have flashed by. I am happy to take our time to get to late March. I am going to enjoy the preseason and all the positive spin the club puts out between now and then In the knowledge we will not lose one game over the next three months Only positives ahead while I wait.

I think Chris Dawes is still overseas but can we get a photo of him in a MFC jumper asap. I am already jack of seeing him in a pies jumber on the MFC web site. Hurry I am going crazy!

In the first 4 -5 games I was thinking "why on earth did we get this guy no wonder Adelaide flung him" However when he moved into the back line it all started to improve. I have to admit I was wrong. He is a keep for mine.

He is more positive than me I thought we only had about 12 at the end of August

Over the last decade bb we have had more luck with the higher numbers than the low ones. However I would sound a note of caution. Every year at this time of the year we as Dees find reasons to support our desire to move up the ladder. More often than not we are all bought back to earth by the end of April. I will admit I feel a little better this year because we are changing the cattle. But lets just be quietly confident that improvement is on the way. I will be happy with 6 genuine wins in 2013 and no 10+ goal losses. Our rise is going to take a few years 2013 is year one for me. However a win on QB is a given. ( well I can dream can't I?)

Well Crawf i did not realise what an authority you are on single malt. Anyone any time Crawf on your list will do me. I normal swing between Glenmornagie , Glenfiddich and Laphroaig when I am in a "different mood" I hope I need more bottles next year mate.

Charming to say the least!

only joking Crawf October 2012 is another big October for the Dees I wonder if we can stretch it out till June this time around?

dc how dare you mention those two in the same sentence It will never taste the same again.

Very Good mate. You know I will never refuse the bait on JB.

Now we can start the delisting etc. We might hear of a few re signings over the next few days On that note dc I am off to bed

TT I am not sure why he would be on the inner. The best game he ever played for the MFC was the one against the Pies when he dropped the ball in the goal square. We subsequently lost the game by a point. I have not seen a game up to that level since, that was I think the third game of 2010. A long time ago. All over for mine

This is probably not going to surprise you DemonWA Bennell is not AFL standard he has been at the club for 4 years has played 57 games and 6 in 2012 In 2012 he had 31 possessions i.e an average of 5 per games and 2 tackles per game. The fact he only had 6 games from the Neeld FD suggests he does not have their confidence. The Guy is not an AFL player. He only displays average ability at Casey. Please the experiment is over for JB.

Hmm Seems to me that most of those will take till this time next year to judge. This time last year there were a considerable number saying Clark was not worth what we paid. Even some saying it was an error after the first couple of rounds of the season. But as always time will tell.

I agree JM So don't take this the wrong way But he did not have a lot to beat

Not sure what bb Any clues?

I have heard it before Ben-Hur At least on 50 occasions over the last half century. Excuse my scepticism but he has not yet played a game.
