Bing I am not sure why you think Tambling not playing is something to celibrate.
This is the same Tambling that could not get a kick at Richmond I believe.
That is like saying "oh my god Bennell is out this week that's it we are gone.
Sorry to be sarcastic I could not help myself.
Believe it or not some peole have other things in their lives besides the MFC.
Especially when families arrange a get together for lunch and the afternoon.
" sorry I won't be there"
"why not"?
"Because I am going to see the Dees"
"You mean you are putting that bunch of softies before mum and the rest of us
There are plenty more matches you Know"!
It happens to lots of people and they are the ones that actually want to see the Dees before their mother and family.
Unfortunately My mum is long gone but the dees would not have come between me and her.
Remember guys it is only a bloody football match!
DC I was wonder the same, by the way I am off it.
Was listening to SEN on friday and someone said "look like marshmallows and play like marshallows"
That about covers it
Rogue sorry for the sarcasm but it is May 2nd
the finals are decided at the end of August.
Hope you are right and if we make it post this reply for all to see
I will of course say how clever you are.
Until then OD
There is more than one of you DC I have had the same problem for the same time I live in hope.
Perhaps that is all we have left.
I hold similar grave fears on sunday hope we are both seriously mistaken.
You are right but some demonlanders want 40 000 along on sunday.
It simply won't happen. We only have 34706 members and I am sure they will not all turn up on Sunday. as you suggest 25K including some crows will be a good result
I will be pleasantly surprised if there is big crowd
Reasons
A lot of people don't go too see losers
MFC supporters have a large number of down hill skiers
It is mothers day ( Always lower numbers why do you think they put Melbourne on this day most years )I generally attend with two friends who told me before the season started they would not be going to this game
It may well be a cold day
My prediction 20 000 Dees and a few Adelaide
Total 23 000
Hope I am wrong but it flies in the face of the past to get a big crowd under these conditions.
Up side won't be hard to get a good seat
Could not agree more Webber, Martin has had four good games before Thursday He was one of the better ones against the hawks.
He had a lot of mates on Thursday.
Green and Davey have not played as well as him so far this year!
DONE I will not say a word about our woeful performances until after the North game.
Based on last year and results to date we should at the very worse be able to match both teams.
Lets see the position on Sunday 15th May 2011.
Oh gee now I feel so much better.
And Here I was thinking we only had GC below us.
It is very comforting to know that GS and Port are below us.
That puts us in a different postion altogether.
There are now only 14 teams above us
WJ most of what you say may well be correct
However I have a real problem with our game plan.
It is either poor or we do not have the talent to implement it.
At what point this season are we allowed to voice our distress?
Following blindly is what led many fine Germans into WW2.
I will continue to support the MFC but I am not going to follow blindly
when something is plainly not working.
I have thought about our friend DB a lot over the last 18 months.
It is fairly simple for me.
His game plan either does not work
or we do not have the skill level to make it work.
Plainly he will not change it.
There is no alternative
His contact is not renewed.
2012 we should have a new coach and a new game plan.
One that our players have a chance of implementing.
Not sure is as soft as you say but he avoids any close heavy work like the plague.
Outside receiver on his good days.
Adelaide wil have him shaking already.
Out at Casey for mine.
I agree on Wona he has had plenty of chances and produced 3-4 good games the rest are odd quarters here and there.
I like your confidence but I smell two beltings
We have seldom been able to beat either of these two sides.
They usually scare us out of it.
Hope you are right but!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too BBo hell it has been a long sad journey journey with only a few good seasons in 50.
Wish I had the balls to walk away but I am here till the bitter end come hell ot high water.
