old dee

I agree and I do not want us making fools of ourselves on friday night TV. Especially when we run around in Pink jumpers. I had 2 sms last night asking if we wore those jumpers to help out O.N.

Oracle your report is spot on. We were out classed. The injuries / suspensions have reduced us to a team that is way below the level that produces results at AFL level. I went last night and got close to what I expected. One thing I had confirmed last night that I doubt will be fixed when our better players return. Our Forwrd line is one dimensional They are all lead up type forwards. We have no one who can stand and deliver. No one who can hold their postion in a pack and mark. Yes Oracle there is always next year. But I am just a little tired of that idea. I have seen two many "next years" I think I have only one more next year left in me. I certaintly do not have another rebuild in me.

That is an extremely good question! You have my vote. Week after week I see us clear the ball, go forward and there are 3 players in our forward line. All are the opposition. Either our game plan stinks and or we do not have the cattle to implement it.

GL for a team that made such a mess of drafting they seem to be still winning a few games more than us. As well as belting us when we play. We should be so seriously stuffed up. They have written their success. Ours is still very much written in pencil. Time will tell how good we are but right now from my view point the Hawks are way in front.

I am struggling to fault you Trout

Yes that is what I mean IMO they have been the big disappointments in our drafting efforts so far. If you cannot get / stay on the park it does not matter how good you are. I hope we are not seeing two players who never get to show their wares because they are injury prone.

Part of being a member in a democracy is you get to voice your opinion. Now somtimes that means criticism. If the criticism does not suit then it does not necessarily mean it is incorrect. Just the alternative to your view. If you follow the MFC one of the things you need in large amounts is a sense of humour. Because amongst other things there are plenty of black periods to endure.

Good point!

Now don't take this the wrong way but they have been underdone since we drafted them!

I will be there with my 2010 scarf ( dislike the maroon one ) But no horns WYL. I am always hoping for a win but some games it is a bit difficult to see a win. Yes it will be good to see Evans again and Nicholson. Carn' the Dees

Down to 8.10 DC Thanks for that.

now now C&B maintain your humour. Is one of them Campbell he seems to have vanished of the face of the earth. I have asked elsewhere but where is he?

I was just about to sign off DC and thought not one gem today. obviously missed it, thanks my smile has returned. not sure it will last long, I reckon about 8.15 it will be gone. But hope springs eternal

I went to this game last year (at williamstown ) Thought we had a fair chance and we got belted from memory by 15+ It was all over at half time. Hope it is better tomorrow,

Does anyone know what has happened to Campbell? Played half a game with the reserves two weeks back. Not on either list at Casey and not on the injury list. Is he the Phantom or what?

So from the above my simple mind tells you that you do not think we have a snow flakes chance in hell tonight. I agree but don't dress to make yourself feel better. As for the "more intelligent and tough fabric supporters" they have been enjoying low success for decades. About time they got their minds around winning.

Got a feeling we might all be in the bar early tonight. The view might be better than out on the ground.

Thanks RN you have covered it for very well. Could not disgree with one thing you have written

All right I won't say winning is the only thing that matters. Or that the rest is just comforting words to make ourselves feel better.

Sorry Roost It but why is Bennell in? He has been poor most of this season and pityful against North. What good is it to have plenty of speed if you do not get the ball. Carlton will frighten him out of it in the first quarter.

well that fixes the drop problem But who comes in? Please do not tell me Bennell or Wona They were terrible vs North and have not played a game since Anybody else please

Very good rpfc I have a horrible feeling that this time next year your post will read the same but Davey was very good in 2010

I am going but as I said earlier, I did not pick up them up when I got my Scarf. Still don't want to like a complete dill Even if jim says it is ok. Here is a small [censored]. I do not use this years scarf the colour is maroon not red. I use 2010 version at least that one is red and blue. How does the MFC end up with three different reds Pink tinge in the jumpers ( watched training on TV tonight and they look worse at night) Socks that actually are red and come up ok And a scarf that is Maroon.

Sure we are not falling for a line by the FD to throw Carlton off a bit. I will believe it when he runs out friday night. Sorry Eth38 put this on the wrong comment

Versus the previous four games when he has been there!
