Congratulations Biffen you have pushed us to a century. Well played Happy DC?

Very clever BB

Dead right Biffen In spite of my best efforts i have slipped into the 21st century there. I will try harder in the future

Redleg are you now confident we have a lock on third last?

That is my understanding BB But not certain it is true or I dreamt it. Hell I hope we are not having the same dreams!

That is effectively saying you are out the door before the game. So why bother. What it would do is generate another 186

Nutbean you are probably right However the reality is that the Board thinks he has done a good job over the last year and have reappointed him. They both sink or swim together End of the story

Junior I doubt it has escaped your notice but we have a poor list. Changes have to be made, if we cling to every player who once played good games we will stay anchored to the bottom. For whatever reason Moloney has been poor this year. His contract is up He is a restricted fee agent This will be his last contract He obviously sees his future else where or his agent would not be putting out stories from early this year. I think he has played his last game in the Red and Blue sad but that is AFL in the 21st Century

You are on the money Dee_flower Making the 8 in 2013 is the stuff of fanasty. Reality is we will struggle to get 5- 6 geniune wins.

I hope he enjoys living in Adelaide. I doubt he is in Neeld's 2013 plans.

I doubt it is that good Redleg having said that I think the chance is not before 2020 PS For me it has gone beyond winning a flag With 18 teams and the two new ones getting plenty of assistance for the next 20 years it will get very difficult to make a GF let alone win one I doubt it will happen in my life time. I will be happy if the MFC can improve to the point we are a powerful team that wins 2/3 of our games. That will make me a happy man.

Spot on I am jaded quite often Hard not to be when you realise in round one that the year is going to be very ordinary

Ok Thanks for that I was just interested. When on here I find it easier to take a lot of what is said with a grain of salt. The pain does have an adverse effect on people. I find a little comedy helps and for me admitting the truth can be very liberating most of the time. Carn the dees

Not sure about others Undeeterred but I think the majority agree with you. It is all about Television. I almost never watch it because it is usually cobblers With the possible exception of KS I am sure the rest would gladly not do it.

Please remove that RR you are really pushing the envelope on this thread. Does a horse head mean anything to you?

I think Dees supporters are close to the most patient on Earth. Why would we still be around after the last 7 years if were impatient.

If I am paying out on JM DemonWA I do not mean to As you suggest he is one of the better ones in a poor lot. I don,t think it is paying out on the list by suggesting they are poor. The results put that beyond dispute. Of course we cannot dump 25 players from the list but a large number of them have to be replaced over the next 3 years If we had Hawthorns list we would be discussing finasl action and who the best 22 will be. Unfortunately all we have to discuss at demonland is the degrees of poor performance

And what about the good Dr. Who Perhaps the door to the Tardis is stuck!

Anyone seen Jose? He seems to have fallen off the planet

Yossarian I do not think your statement is actually true. The MFC has not been shite for the whole of the last 47 years we have had a few purple patches. However lets go with your theory Why do you support them? I have some good memories but you obviously don't This is a genuine question I am not trying to be a smart arse. why are you still here? If it was as bad as you say for as long as you say I would be a member of Hawthorn.

Having watched Fitzpatrick from the start at Casey Jt I do not agree. He has shown signs since the start, in his second year he was playing good games at Casey to be given his first AFL game at the end of that year. Cook is not within a bulls roar of an AFL game. He cannot even play in the Casey senior side at the end of his second year.

Not so sure about that wyl on some occasions there are worse things than death.

DemonWA far be for me to defend RR he is capable of doing that himself. But I think we all have to acknowledge that the MFC has a poor list, it is no accident that we have only one geniune win and sit last on the ladder after 5 years of rebuilding the team. That suggests to me that a large number of our team are not AFL standard. As Dees supporters we try and find the best in our team even when it is crap. AS you describe JM's best attribute is his endeavour, and you need that ingredient as an AFL football. But against the top half dozen sides it will never make up for a lack of skill. JM may well be a symptom of our problem He gets a game every week!

JT that probably says more about the others than Jordie.

Hawthorn supporters Crawf?
