old dee

I have been called lots of things over the years but creepy is new Dr.

Re your last para LN it was his first game since under 18’s last year.

Both are better than a kid who played his only game since under 18’s today. Watching his selection is proof the FD ain’t that clever. Give the kid a chance to develop away from AFL seniors. What they did was put a sixth grader into Uni and wonder why he struggled. And why did we recruit Brown and renew The Weid’s contact last year if neither is not good enough to play in the second game of the season. As you all know I am not a big fan but surely the Weid is better than a kid in his first game since under 18’s. Will any of us be left here at the end of 2022?

We are not a finals side that is very Evident.

Can we afford to keep him. In three years time there will be no supporters left.

Won't open on my phone or iPad demonstone.

Guys what is the score? Would you believe AFL website does not have the match centre today unbelievable.

There is one thing I can absolutely guarantee you DJ there is not a snow flake chance in hell I would ever follow the bombers. Worst club and supporters in Victoria.

It's all about the broadcasters jako!

Me too DC but the AFL are well and truely on that road.

True in the US but that is not our culture DJ. I guarantee you no MFC no Old Dee.

The elephant in the room is the players would have to accept less. Imagine the fight that would happen. Would the players union be happy with 80+ players losing their jobs and the remained on lower wages?

At risk of starting starting a s fight. Probably accurate. First in line GCS and GWS.

Agree DJ, what it all means In the end is less money for AFL rights.

Strange this industry DJ. For how long have we been seeing stories about the demise of 10. Yet every time I turn on my set they are still there. There is little to no chance of 7 folding. What we are seeing is the value of AFL rights falling. What Jeff should think about is if he gets rid of a team of two that is a lot less eyes on tv. The only interest I have in AFL is the MFC. No MFC would mean no AFL for me. From past surveys this would mean a large number of the club's supporters. Then the TV rights are worth even less. However if a club amalgamated ( yes I know never ) more people would stay interested in AFL. I might stay interested in an MFC/ North/ Carlton team particularly if they were successfull.

Would you stop with the logic DJ!

Exactly my point dp. I think there are a number of reasons but I am struggling to get enthusiastic about the return of football. Watched the last quarter On Thursday night and zero last night. Today it will a radio game for me.

Their giving me the sh_ts too.

I keep saying it, because you can play football does not make you a rocket scientist.

Or The Northern Stand!

What happens to the FD if we lose this game?

What about the ones who have made it Pman ?

Must be time to close this thread or rename it.

It is very simple dpositive this the haven to escape of our usual poor performance. No games no need for an escape venue.

It is a pity we have such a crap record on and off the field over the last half century. We are one of the small least successful clubs of the last half century. Forget Port Melbourne the board is lock on to “the vicinity of the MCG“ . It is goschs paddock or bust.
