old dee

Are you sure DC? I doubt Tommy we be there on his own with all those Other Bad culture types. Nothing will surprise me about this mob.

You are after me on this one rpfc. I can't see it either I liked him end of story.

And we will get there if we win 14 games this year. Alas I think 40 000 might be closer to reality. We need good NAT cup form and to win the first couple of games. Well 2 out of the first three would be a good start.

You are a cynic wyl. It is for the expansion of the game This will mean bigger TV rights and all clubs will benefit in the long term. Come to thing of it I am the same!

DC you are pulling my leg right????????????????

Only if they need a roller to flatten the goal square

I am sure he did not believe it. Look at the sentence "It looks like he will stay" My memory is he was never confident in that comment. Any way still liked him a lot. Sometimes I did not like the message but it was mostly difficult to argue with the logic.

Is he there? Would not think he would fit in all that well. besides he can afford much better around Point Piper!

He was spot on with TS, I will never forget his incredulous look at the famous March 2011 press conference.

Too many bananas!

Based on the information I read here on Demonland and other sites I have a gut feel this guy is too hard. Appears to me it will be very difficult to get the required commitment out of him.

Ahh those were the days WJ. You have covered it beautifully.

Best dirty water you will ever drink Redleg

Not in 2012, I doubt he will play anywhere before May with his injury.

Hate to be a spoil sport but the Pies probably have 30 000 members right now. They have 2 weeks to renew for reserve seats or you will miss out. I think we have a ways to go!

Almost Deeoldfart, I did not know anything about them till this morning. Was in Sydney getting Rained on all week. Quite tired when I got home last night so it was this morning before I discovered not a skinny choir boy amongst them. Good news that is for sure. I have a single malt beside me as I type will that do?

Way too hard DC I will just wait till next year!

Did not get picked and I doubt he will get a rookie spot. In 2012 you cannot afford a part time attitude

Hell of a drop From Champagne to River water!

RD this is supposed to be the TS free zone. please go somewhere else

Under DB that would have guarnteed we would have picked him. Not so sure now.

Who bloody cares?

Oh be still my beating heart!

My worry is that the team will become a basket case and we will bleed money into it with little return. If Casey becomes an easy beat with no chance of playing finals e.g. Collingwood, will the locals show any interest in AFL and Casey / Melbourne as a brand? The dees had there own seconds for a long time after 1964 and it did not seem to help us win a flag. I am not convinced turning Casey into the MFC seconds will achieve any more than the arrangement up to 2011. IMO it could be worse And a part time coach, shows how serious they are about the whole thing. Smells of jobs for the boys I see little evidence that the guy is anything wonderful as a coach. Part time attitude results in a part time result for mine.

WJ there are so many different drafts now and so many conditions about who goes in what order and how many GWS get that my brain glazes over at the mention of a Draft. Some time early in the new year can you tell me what wonderful players we have drafted. they will be very good and we were surprised they did not get picked earlier. No doubt they will be development types that will need to put on weight and they will be ready around 2016. oh sorry I fell asleep typing!
