old dee

Have they made that offer old55 or is it just his management putting that story around? I have seen nothing from the MFC to suggest that they offered RL a deal of any discription. It may well be just media talk that his team either planted or help the media waffle along.

BB if it is to be MM I think the deal is already done. We either have MM right now and we are waiting for October 3rd or we are looking at other people. With every passing day and no coach announced suggests to me it is MM and we are waiting for the Pies to finish their year. Mick knows what he wants to do, I can see no reason why he would be waiting for the season to finish to make a decision.

billy have I missed something? Why on earth would we wait till March? We will have a coach by mid October at the latest IMO. I am getting more confident with every passing day that it is MM.

Thanks Redleg but I missed your advice. Busy today and did go onto Demonland till now. How did it go?

I have thought a bit about this pay dispute over the last few months. I support the AFL here stick to the current offer. If it came to a strike and there was no 2012 season ( worst case I know ) I would be fine a year without AFL is not the end of the world. I have a friend involved with Uni Blacks and go to 2 -3 of their games most years. May be sad to say that I actually enjoy those games more than the AFL. I actually feel envolved, you are close to the action, see the players during the breaks Hear the coach address the players and have a couple of drinks after the game. With the AFL I am totally removed from the players and all associated contact. It just feels better and I know they are playing for the sake of the game Not $1million

They are just working out the details. IMO it was never RL

Great minds think alike!!!

They are all well practised at it. AFL 101

He does not make it onto the park enough!

Mainly because I am bored with all the talk about you know who and compensation etc. Do we keep this years clash Jumper or do we get to design a new one? If we change the red can we keep it red not pink or maroon!

Thank god DC I thought you were suggesting I was going to have to wait for 67 before the goal was achieved. I was all set to send back my membership as i would not have made it.

A lot of marketing is like that RN guessing is quite often the only solution open to us mere mortals!

Gee RN I have to wait for 2013 for some fun? Can I just have no 186 point losses and keep Carlton and Collingwood losses to under 5 goals in 2012. Is that too much to ask? Please?

A little humour is needed this week I think WYL. We all seem to be at each others throats this week. Cheer up guys it is only a game ha ha !

I think I must have put that wrong. I was meaning we all need to guess because it is IMO a little obscure.

Gee Robbief you are being very negative. Of course we need another skinny Forward who will take 4 -5 years to develop? Good grief man keep things in perspective.

Seeing as this thread has got onto drafting does anyone have a idea on how many players we need to move on? My understanding is that we must take three players in the draft as a mininium. So we now have one spot available. Who else gets moved on?

Agree, it is my view that he was too far one way. He had to live or die by his decisions and we know what happened. I just get to sit here in the outer and with hind sight say I think he was wrong. It is marvelious being an arm chair expert!

Believe me bing181 I was not calling you one. If you think I called you sycophant I am sorry that was not my intention. Just trying to say that the other extreme is no better.

Rn for me your last two words says it all. Thanks for the effort to explain it it just seem complicated to me.

This may surprise you RR but i do not believe our views are very far apart. I just have a large mistrust of the 'its all ok things will get better" attitude. Unless people make changes things usually do not get better.

That covers it fairly well PSD. But the fix is not quite complete yet.

Bing181 I am trying very hard to not get into a slanging match on this subject. I really do not think being a sycophant helps much either.

Well I cannot help myself I have rise to the bait. RR I have hardly said a negative word in the last 2 weeks In fact quite the opposite. However can you drop your positive at all times crusade. The MFC is not the greatest / best run club in the competition at the moment. I have never seen a problem fixed by hiding it. Letting the light in usually results in an improved position.

I do not give a rats what method we use. I just want to win.
