How Robbief? We are not quite as bad as the Dogs!

I reckon we have been down this path before mate. I am glad you can keep on keeping on. I have only one complaint with your comment. I reckon the last 46 years of devotion for 5 -6 good seasons and 2 GF appearances is not too bad. It is May 22 and the season is over, the same as numerous in the past. I am stuffed. You are obviously going to live longer than me but be careful mate the light could be a train!

It may be as close as Friday night and at best Queens birthday. Get used to the idea we are crap at present. With injuries and suspensions we are a bottom 5 side In a differnt league to Carlton and the pies. The light is a train!

Samsara at 26 there is still time for you to get a good club to support. Only joking mate "I am 26 and still have some hope I will see this club when a premiership" Good grief if you think that way there is no hope for me. I think there is a chance by the time you are 40 Unfortunately I will probably be in the ground. So think of me when the big day finally arrives. Carn the Dees.

Spot on DC I have not been a fan but he is one of the very few bright spots for the Dees this year.

Everything points to a slaughter of 2008/9 proportions to me. We will drop a couple and put in a couple kids. IMO it will not change much. We are simply in a different league to Carlton. They are probably thinking about the percentage gain next friday.

If you do not have the required skills and ability no amount of Team discipline, commitment and work ethic is going to make up for your lack of ability. I agree with you re the game plan, but it is made worse by our lack of ability.

I cannot remember a good game this year. Everyone now knows a close tag with eliminate him from the game. Works every week now. What we now have with Davey is another Trapper. Lets get the best on offer. Trading Trapper gave us Grimes If we got someone half as good it would be worth it.

You are making it all too hard It is much more simple. We just don't have enough good players. And A game plan they are not capable of delivering. End of the story for me.

Mate you must be the ultimate optimist. Wish I could join you but after 46 years of the same crap at the MFC I think I am all worn out. There has been two small windows in the last 45 years that gave any real joy. Northey and ND gave us 5-6 years of having teams with good results. The remaining 40 years have been like this year. God I do not know if I can endure the rest of this year let alone another rebuild / Decade of disappointment. I am really tired of the sms from friends that go " another wondeful effort by the marshmallows Get on board with the Blues" God deliver from this football club.

Me too DeeZee We have been saying the same things for 45 years ( with the exception of two small periods ) I look at our side and IMO we are simply not good enough. The really sad thing is that history is repeating itself again and I have no confidence that anything will change anytime soon.

They are all kids that could take another 2 - 3 years before we know if they are the goods. In the mean time the established players are not good enough. Even before the injuries started mounting we were crap We simply are not good enough. We can make all the excuses we like. If you consistantly lose there is only one reason Not good enough.

Agree another trapper for mine. If it is not too late lets see if we can get something for him. We are min. 5 years away from a GF he won't be around then anyway.

Only if they get 5 injuries tonight

Sorry to be so negative Sue but I have been hearing similar thing for 45 years. Do your self a favour get a new interest The dees will break your heart.

you are right Trade him at the end of the saeson like trapper. We may get someting reasonable for him. It will take us 5 years to get a GF at best he will not be there at that point. Get something now if possible.

It is all very simple guys. We do not have the cattle You cannot pull your socks up if you don't have on. Another 5 years of mediocrity is ahead

Our current one did?

There is only one player among our senior list that puts in very week. To be captain first you have to justify your position in the team. Moloney does that plus he looks like he cares how we are going. From outside the fence IMO it is not a contest. If green where not the captain would he be playing a Casey next week? I do not care he got pie eyed one night. So did Neitz.

And they have the personell to get it done. We clearly do not. Or is there something I am missing.

LG if we are relying on odd numbers to win we are deeper in the hole than I thought. Yes I know you are joking. Sorry but I just look at each teams list today and even on low confidence levels the Saints have us well covered. Their senior players have ours covered 3 fold. Senior players bring the young guys into the games. We are hoping the young guys will make up for the senior players. big win for the saints I fear.

After much soul searching I believe we are seriously over rating our players. I have two good friends 1 Hawthorn and 1 geelong member. They constantly tell me "your players are not that good" They sight, Sylvia 1 good season in 6, average player Green last season his only consistant season Davey good kick but easily taken out of the contest Dunn average player who occasionly has a good game Bate too good at VFL level too slow at AFL level Rivers Solid but only an average player. And their greatest criticism is we have not one player who can turn a game. After much soul searching this year I am forced to agree. Our biggest problem is probably not Endevour, attitude or culture It is perhaps a lot more simple We are simply not good enough. So as in the past a lot of pain appears on the horizon for Dees supporters. I realy hope I am wrong but with each passing week it looks more and more correct.

Milpod you had better stay on your knees The blues and dons are light years ahead of us. You have an awful lot of wins by those two to endure. Like it or not IMO either of them will win a flag before the Dees. The only up side I can see is if The Blues keep winning Ratten will stay as coach. That might give us a better chance of getting Malthouse. Though why he would want to take a pay cut to coach a bottom half side I do not know.

Last weekend both the Dees and Saints got out of the blocks well. Both had good leads at quarter time and both got walloped. Not sure what that says. Maybe just that we are both poor.

Only in the french quarter Nasher
