old dee

I wonder, is it a fact or just hoping we have one by then?

But then you have to get up to pee!

and what is wrong with just a tash?

I know we don't want any , but I doubt we have much choice That is the problem. I think we not going to agree on this one wyl. But it has been the best discussion I have had this side of September. Have a great night Carn the DEES ( thats Demons )

I was only making the observation that I don't care if they are idoits or not can they just buy a membership! I am not sure there are as many as you think. I reckon low 40's is about the top end at present. Five years of being in the top 4 might improve matters but that is a ways off.

5 of our six specialist batsman were poor. 3 of them have been for 2 years. It is time for 3 batsman changes going into the boxing day test. Out: Hughes, Khawaja, Ponting and Hussey is close to his last game. We are finding it hard to beat NZ imagine the slaughter that is India coming up

Can we recruit a few more?

I doubt it will matter, I have a feeling what you see is what we are going to get with him. Fairly thin guy who will need to play a lot better. Not sure the tuition over the last few years has done him any favours. A change there might help.

Me too RR. I reckon they will get to 50k long before the Dees do 1 premiership or not.

You may well be right s t i n g a. But unless we have Chinese sponser who presures the AFL IMO it is hard to see it being the Dees

The problem will not be our CEO but the AFL. Nothing will stand in the way of the Giants being successful. We have to kowtow ( no pun intended ) to the AFL. When they say jump our only question is how high. It will probably be this way for a considerable time into the future. just look at the what happened with the loss of you know who. Hardly a peep out of the MFC we need the money and compensation too much to rock the boat. It is a sad fact of life unfortunately.

If I was the President I would consider all offers placed before me.

Makes for a good conversation wyl. We don't have a Chinese sponser yet mate so it is all conjecture. If there is a match for points in China you can bet it will be the giants vs someone. Hard to see the Dees getting a look in, more likely the Swans. Both from Sydernee. Go down well over there giants vs the swans. No symbol problems!

Me too, IMO looks to me like he will always be fairly skinner. Don't waste your time expecting him to put on 15 Kg. He is a goer they way he is built or not at all.

Only joking Dr. G It is a light news day, adds a little excitment

Spot on we would have won a flag by now!

$10 million pa for 10 years? Come on everyone has their price.

Oh my god 17 hours and 12 minutes to go I am not sure how I will get to sleep tonight.

You know DC I doubt the average Aussie has any idea how much all these things mean to the Chinese. My experierence suggests to me that it will be very hard for the MFC to pick up a major Chinese sponser. Contrary to what a lot of people want to suggest the "demons" part of the MFC is a major problem. We can laugh all we like but it will hold us back in the Chinese market. Now I am not suggesting there is the slightest chance of us changing our emblem but it will hold us back in China. It is very hard for us barbarians to understand the Chinese, if CS can pull off a serious Chinese sponser he is a very clever man. I hope he is up to the task. Because we sure need the cash

Spot just using half of that saying rpfc

I often wonder how big of a problem the travel really is. WC have been flying back and forth now for years. When they have had good sides they win flags, when the have had poor sides they have not won flags. Rugby guys fly constantly between NZ and SA Soccer players play in the UK one weekend, play in Europe mid week and again in England the next weekend. I never hear of the problem from those competitions. Are we just [censored]?

Mentioned this last week. it is more "the fight that is in the dog"

You have my vote, lets get on with it.

I mean,t changing the name wyl. Just an interesting discussion for early december when there is not a lot happening. If we get more money in I am happy playing games in China or anywhere else for that matter. If that means giving up a couple of MCG games I can live with it. Unfortuately we are not Collingwood we have to get the money from wherever.

rfpc I am happy be labelled as in the same group as CH.
