old dee

No he is just like me. We have had a long time to get used to it.

I am not saying it is the major issue for 2011 However how come we are the only club with red in their jumper that looks pink on TV? Keep your shirt on just a simple request.

Well excuse me! If you have to go to that much trouble to get it looking right on TV it suggests to me there is something wrong. Most people won't change their picture that much to watch a game every other week. Essendon's red looks fine as does St. Kilda, Adelaide and Sydney without touching the TV controls, why is ours Pink? In the mean time I get lots of comments about the "[censored] pink dees" Don't know about you but it sticks in my guts.

Any one heard anything on Rivers?

Any apologies to thedemonwithin?

Channel 10 saying Grimes out for perhaps the season. Broken bone in foot-

WYL If you read my comment again I said they looked ok at the game. I watched it last night on my daughters last HD tv and the effect is the same. I do not believe you can adjust it out. Whats with the smart remark about being at the game?

SD I have a bad feeling we are not going to faced with the problem for some time if at all this year, TS looks like a season injury from where I sit. My wife works in the sports / work injury industries. Those contacts say Scully's injury is a vey hard one to fix. only rest will fix it and it is an individual thing as to how long it takes . From day 1 my contacts were saying he may not play this year. So Nathan may not have to face the problem this year

One of the areas I think has improved, confidence. "Go for it more often Jack"

Oh DC the devils going to get you for that one! Once again made my day

I have not been a fan however over the last two weeks I have started to get some confidence. I am begining to think he might turn into a good player. Not sure I will go with "Star" just yet. I will acknowledge a definite improvement over the last two weeks.

Not sure if it is my old eyes however I agree with those that think our Jumpers look pink. Watched at the game yesterday the jumper looks ok However watched the game on TV later last night and they look to have a pink tinge. Even the photos on the MFC site have a pink tinge IMO. Could be better IMO, it may be that it is the result of TV if so can we have a more orange red That does not come up pink please CS.

Great problem to have I think. I agree with GTW what the MFC needs is tough agressive play. Warnock is one of a very few at the Dees that provides that factor. We will need it on Saturday as North have always scared us out of games. Warnock will go toe to toe with the best of them.

2 reasons why it will never again be a top 6 - That would mean another 3-4 sides that would would have little to no chance of playing finals by the half way mark less interest lower ratings etc. - Less finals games for tv, lower ratings Less money for AFL. More likely to be a top 9 come 2012

Like your confidence BB but first we have to get there. That unfortunately is some years off. Happy for him to win a B&F in the mean time.

No but I will take it. Looks better than our normal position over the last few years. We have beaten the sides in 12 13 and 17th positions. I will take a 90+point win any day however lets not get too carried away. If we are still there after the QB game I will start shooting my mouth off.

Guys what is it with Bennell back in! The guy plays a half decent game for Casey and all of a sudden he is back in. He has shown time and again he fails when the going gets tough. North have always been too scary for us and after their thrashing on the weekend they will be fired up next saturday. Their tactic will be play the Dees hard early and they will fold. It has worked for them for years and they will try it on again. So why put Bennell back in,leave him at Casey for me.

Since the first few games last year I have believed that Trengove is a better kick than Scully. It is one thing to get the ball but another to deliver it well. he seldom misses the target I have a gut feel we are looking at a future B & F winner.

Clint I think you are on the money. Why change a team that has just won by 90+ points. If Grimes is out you need a replacement. For mine it is Mcdonald. What did Warnock do wrong today? As usual he played hard and tough at the ball, his oponent kicked a couple so what show me a backman who does not conceed a couple of goals and it was not always his fault.

Guys I have read the article three times and I am not certain what to make of the reference to Tom Scully. Not sure if I am adding 2 + 2 and getting 5 However is it possible that TS has not signed because he does not like the way the Coach / FD work? Might be a factor so Jim has jumped in to fix things? If I were TS and looking at a fat offer from GWS there are two areas to consider - Money - current Club vs GWS. If we do not appear to be operating in a fashion to take us forward then why not switch to a club that looks better in the medium / long term. You get the money and a better chance of success! Any thoughts?

Yes it does DC. Some days you are my bright spot. Thanks for another one.

Good question. Excuse me for being sceptical but if we were traveling well would Mckenzie and Campbell still be "2 weeks" I cannot see Mckenzie playing for at least a couple of weeks. He has no match play for over two months which effectively means a low preseason effort. I will still be surprised if we see him this side of June. And then perhaps as a sub. Campbell is a rookie and won't come in unless there is another long term injury. So the improvement for me is Mckenzie some time in July. However I have been wrong before!

Interesting info into days HUN. last year the top four MFC players for laying Tackles were Mckenzie, Mcdonald ( Jnr. ), Scully and Moloney. 2 of the four have not played a game and won't in the near future. Mcdonald not there any longer and Molony has been doing a good job. I would player J Mcdonald in middle just for his ability to tackle. We are obviously doing very badly in this area. What have we got to lose?

Whatever you are on Ravi can you please let us all know. It is obviously working better that my single malt.

How many crap games does Bennell have to put in before you move him? AN outside receiver just what we needed last week and again this week.
