old dee

I have heard a number of commentators ( x players ) and x coaches make similar comments to DC's On top of that is our wonderful performances over the last 4 years. I can find little to disagree with in the majority of cases. The simple facts are we have gone no where in the last four years, our higher draft picks have turned into average players so far. I find that with a large number of Dees supporters it is a case of shoot the messenger. We have a poor team simple as that

Biffen I am not sure that this commonly used statement is true. If I was the CEO would I want my large company associated with someone who is constantly in the news for the wrong reasons? Would I want my products associated with a company that is constantly a loser in its competition? Would I attach myself to a team that gets only a small amount of Free to air TV coverage? I am a winner or want to be why do I want to be associated with losers? I think that the experience of the last few years shows the above to be true. We struggled to get sponsors in the period of 2007 - 2010 and followed that up with a nutter who it turns out was not paying as required. The Sponsorship market is a tough one, the guys with the big money want Publicity of the right kind, they want to be associated with winners or at least the prospect of being a winner, a large supporter base is also important. If you had to choose right now would you pick Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond or Melbourne. Fairly easy choice that is why we have no jumper sponsor either front or back.

Late yesterday i had taken about all I could concerning AFL Football and the MFC. So I made myself a promise that I would Ignore anything to do with the AFL and the MFC for 24 hours. All was was going well till I picked up todays Hun and wham what a head line. But I held fast and did not read any of the story ( that was really hard ), I avoided radio by listening to a CD when out in the car. The result has been unexpected, I feel very calm and I have a new prospective on my liesure time. You know there are 1 billion people in China who do even know that the MFC exists. So I am now looking at the MFC in a new light. DO NOT OBSESS We are a football club that is towards the bottom of the competition in a number of areas. So what I have had a lot of fun times as well as a lot of crap. We may well be crap for the balance of this decade but i have been here before I know what to expect. I find it hard to believe we will win on saturday in Perth but who knows the margin might be less than I think. I get a lot of fun out of Demonland and the majority of you dees supporters out there even if as a football team we are very ordinary. I cannot change what happens to the MFC, if it fails to exist in 2020 so be it i might not exist either. The up side is enjoy life do not let the Bloody AFL get you down. Carn the Dees

Loyal Royal if you are heading to the airport to pick them all up your mini will be fine

Thanks Dc a very long time ago when I was writing my first very important sales report for the board my boss bought back my first attempt back to me. He said do not try to be too clever, keep it simple that way you will be understood. To this day that advise has served me well. Glad to hear it is still working.

In case it has escaped your eagle eye RR spelling is not one of my strong points. I blame the nasty nun I had as a 2nd grade student. But I am probably just thick

Like loosing by 100+ points RR!

The orgasm by the media has a while to go yet WYL I thought of all people you would understand that. It will pop up for months yet. every time there is the smallest problem at the MFC this will surface. It is not over by a long shot

didnt you just help that?

I think you are wrong Nasher it will only be 9 goals at quarter time. Otherwise yes this has been the worst 3 weeks I can remember

I am praying!

Oh spare me the "we have to hang tough" sermon. I have heard it too many times in the last half a century. We all bloody well know that. Are the majority of us still here YES. Will we be here next week YES Will we be here next year YES So put up with a bit of our bleating we have the right

Dr Who i have no idea what you just said

So you are suggesting???

No seems the same to me Redleg

Discimanation us Brown head guys get sun burnt too. Well when I had some

Have not tried for some time so lets see what happens

Mine left about 3.30 pm on Saturday July 30th 2011 and has not been seen since

I see a golden revenue raising opertunity ahead. Channel nine to the tune of $1million for the balance of 2012 Or see you in court

The MFC have done a fantastic job of keep us all entertained in very area for decades. Excepting winning games of football. Now I may be mistaken but I thought that was the main idea

There is always a chance FYD There is a chance 12 of the Eagles team will get food poisoning on Friday evening. There is a chance all fights to WA may be cancelled due to maggots in the snack packs There is a chance WCE may feel sorry for us and forfeit There is a chance all our senior players may play the game of their lives But sadly I doubt any of these things will happen

Eagles by 15 goals Reasoning - we have a new game plan that we clearly do not know how to play yet. - a number of the players are terrified of making errors as there careers are on the line. - a few of our better players are still out injured - we have suffered massive distractions over the last 3 weeks - it is in WA - but the main one is they have a far better side than the Dees

I am of the same opinion but I am probably a bit older than you Samsar. I would be happy now just to have a good administration, no debt, win 10 games a year and have few blow outs. That is about my Maximium these days

There may be examples of teams rising above the situations the MFC has gone through over the last 3 weeks but I cannot bring any to mind. I find it impossible to believe this will not effect the team on saturday
