I think that is a given. Not selecting him IMO was the correct move. BY the way who was no.3 pick that year I cannot remember.

Well I definately will not be around if the count down is 19 years to a flag bb!

Sue all I am suggesting is two things - the team is picked by so called experts who i assume watch every game ever week or almost every game. I watch a couple of games. So i give them the benefit of seeing players regularly and so have a better idea than me. - there is always an arguement that certain players should have been in at the expense of someone else. I just get a laugh on demonland by the number of people who will never acknowledge that Nic Nat is a good player. Seems to be that if they admit that then it follows we made an error in not selecting him over watts. This not the case of course as I believe the two issues are not connected.

Yep you have my vote for what it is worth.

Very good 9 out of 10 for this early in the day!

The latest model from VW dc is called an "UP" Smaller than a Polo, 1 litre engine, manual only goes on sale in Aus next month.

yep that is my belief as well Jnr.

When it is an "UP"

He may well have been his worst game for the Dees as well. We won that day inspite of RDB. Have a gut feeling it will be the last one I see WJ But I have the memory which unfortunately is a lot more than a large number of others.

Nah News to me bb

Good morning Crawf It is wonderful to see such enthusiasm on this thread. However it is beginning to sound a little Clerical. Or should that be musical comedy? Any way carry on guys you are the first thread I check

All of what you say has merit. and I hope you are right Crawf I think I have just been around the MFC too long. I have zero confidence in our ability as an organization at all levels to rise above mediocre. Now to bed mate good dreams await

Crawf reality is what you have when you wake in the morning after a dream. The reality is we did not finish last for 4 of the last 6 years by accident. We finished last because we have the worst list in the AFL And that is going to take some time to fix. Sad but reality.

Then again perhaps not WJ

Exhaustion will do that to you DC!

Sounds nasty DC I miss RR we have not had a new poll for days!

Please don't tell too many Redleg there are quite a few rabbits on Demonland that I don't need on this thread. Speaking of which What has happened to Dr. Who and Jose? Vanished

I heard DC he was out in Kings Street last sunday morning at 4 am. Think he caught a cold because he could hardly talk Hence the suspension Todd had to drive in to take him home.

Now I know you are trying to lure me onto the rosy positive train Crawf However this is the reality thread. I thought in mid 2010 we would be playing finals this year and we are further behind than ever. IMO we have approx 4 good footballers, 8 average ones, no game breaker and the rest will not take us above 16th position. On the up side we will recruit approx 10 new players this year if we are lucky we will get 3 - 4 good players the rest will be no better than our not good enoughs. This will need to be repeated another 2 -3 times over the next 2 -3 years. Hopefully during the next three years we will luck into a game breaker. So around 2016 we should have improved to the 7 - 8th position on the ladder. The next step is the big one and I have little idea how long it will take if at all to get into the top four But I find it difficult to believe it is possible to move from what is effectively last on the ladder to a GF appearance in less than 8 years with the crap list we have now. Hence my desire to be competitive by 2016

You cannot fit 50 players into 22 spots someone has to miss out. The experts who pick this side are so far in front of you and me that we cannot hear the band.

Including you Jnr?

I agree old55 and when Rivers leaves we will need him down back even more.

Rassilon they ( GWS ) out bid us for his services end of story Or am I missing something?

Well Crawf they have woken from their slumber. Keep up the good work there is still 22 weeks to go

H_T I did not say that I would not like the ultimate, I have not been going for the last 52 years because I had nothing else happening on winter weekends However the reality is the Dees are so far down the well it will take us till the end of this decade to get to a GF if all things go well. Then you have to win one. I doubt I have that many years left in the well. So to keep me happy I just want a competitive side that finishes 7 - 8th by 2016/7. That will make my days at the "G" happy ones. I hope they can win one for you next decade but I think I have seen the only winning GF sides that I am liable to see. I don't see it as Complacency but reality
