billy I doubt there will be a FOJ sponsor any time soon. Checked this morning and still no 2012 jumper available from the MFC store. Still on order and none in sight at present. I will be pleasantly surprised if anything happens this week. Do not hold your breath waiting for an explanation of why there is no sponsor.

Have you already forgotten Sunday 21st August 2011! Guess that makes us look worse than crap

Yes And was less than a couple of other games we played in 2011. I reckon they might finish second last this year.

Thats 3 more than you know who so far.

The hun has JW as BOG last night. Can he do more than that? Also said Grimes only had 4 possesions in the first half. After that and comments on here it is hard to see him in the team next Saturday. I think there are a few more weeks at Casey for him yet.

Did not hear it myself but a friend rang me to say Scully was on 3AW tonight and Mike Sheahan nailed him. Evidently sound bad through Mike's grilling. Anyone hear it??

Agree with 95% of the above RB As you say it is not the FD that runs out to play. Do not put the house on your last Paragraph.

Just goes to prove that being able to play football does not make you a rocket scientist! or perhaps you only need half a brain to play football

I was referring to the establishment of GWS.

Looks bleak to me hard to impress when you are on the LTI list prior to the first game.

The jury is still out on that jnrmac.

+1

Oh thank god I will put the bottle back in the bar. Have a great day HG

I missed that hardtack, now I am depressed again. and it is way too early for single malt.

If we win 4 of the first 5 I will be unbelievably happy. wins over Bis, Richmond , Bulldogs and Saints would be a great start as we could not beat 3 of that four last year

Like you mine is deducted monthly but we are rusted on some are not. Like it or not there are a substantial number of members who buy a membership based on their view of how the dees will perform. pre 2011 we were coming off a promising 2010, 2011 was terrible, a large number of 2011 members feel burnt. IMO they will only rejoin if they think 2012 will be a better year.

Being in the Dees best 22 may not be that much of an indication of his worth olisik. Last year he finished 11th in the B & F, in a year when the Dees were terrible. Not much of recomendation. He will miss at least the first 5 games, then take a couple to get back in, 2012 may not be a great year for him to show his worth. I think he will be at the Dees in 2013 because we will get very little for him even if we do put him on the market

Gee rpfc I just do not see 40 000. Are you sure our enthusiasm for Jim and all the good will generated will translate to memberships? If you were a Carlton member would you buy a membership of the MFC because of Jim? I am doubtful. I just think it is vitial we win the first game because the second will be negative.

Just checked the MFC web site hardtack and 27267 is the number so based on that we are back at 2009 levels. We must win the first game or we will struggle to break 30 000 in 2012

No thank you

Biffen does your CV show your job in Iraq?

Roost it you list 7 players above so if your "several others" mean s seven. You are going to delist / trade 14 players! You are dreaming were are you going to get 14 players to replace them of at least equal ability?

LS My daughter did not enrole her as a dog but by her name as a junior member EG. Brandy Smith.

Will two of those might be true I think the reasons are a little more complex than that.

Then how come we get walloped at centre clearances week after week and how come we got belted so often in 2011 Can you tell when the last fairytale team won a flag? Back in the seventies The pies went from Last to the Grand Final. Did they win NO I don't believe in Fairy Tales and neither do you.
