old dee

Now forget Mitch Clark retiring, Forget Dawes and his fair floss legs, forget Gawn and his inability to play six games a year, forget low attendances, forget the worst list in AFL history, forget we could not beat time with a stick. Something really bad is on the horizon. Cyclone Ita is bearing down on the Queensland banana crop. Claimed to be as bad as Yasi in 2011 If this happens I don't know what I will do. There may only be two alternatives that I can see - Migrate to NZ - take the ultimate solution to end the pain

Have been trying not to ask this question but where are all the " we could easily do a Port Adelaide in 2014" group? Seem very silent at present. Hmm

Must surely be a record you would think But to answer your question Bbo some time yet I would think. WE are not out of the woods in a couple of areas that come to mind.

game 1

You know things are crook when on a Monday there is not one fight happening on Demonland. Have not seen one single name calling. seems we all agree things are crook in tullarook

I know I am not the only one . For the first time in my life I really don't care who the MFC picks or drops for next week's game. Never thought I would have this level of care. Strange to feel this level of detachment from next weeks game.

Yes but which team do you refer to?Mine is doing well won the first game of the year.

just between you and me DF I am sure no one is looking. I could easily slip into a lower level of the game and hardly notice the umm what's their names

It reminded me today R and B that most of the fun of going to a match is to think you have a chance and then pull off a win. As I drove home I thought not the greatest game but lots of fun. The actual exact opposite of watching the Dees. I also decided that I am going to more Casey games and the Amos.

I have canned him recently Redleg but Jamar should be in next week was easily the best Ruckman today at windy hill.

Yeah right

Off to the Casey game today anyone have any idea where I might find a list of numbers for todys game?

I don't believe in luck however we have sure had more than our fair share of poor results with injury and selection etc.If I did believe in good luck I would say we have not had any for a decade.

Willie by four pointsShould have gone! They are probably singing the GOF right now.

I might change to the dogs our clash jumper is already red, white and blue. So not a big shift Seem like a side improving. Could get on the wagon at the right time. Perhaps we should amalgamate?

Was going to the Amos today and then suggested I might go to Essendon tomorrow. No.1 wife gave me a rather angry look so punted for tomorrow. With my luck that will mean Willie win today and Casey get a bath tomorrow.

Way more dc the other two have been consigned to the "red and blue print " disaster bin.

I agree Redleg.I just get annoyed that many think all we need is a priority pick and all will be well in the world. In case you have not noticed in drives me crazy.

WJ I am one that believes we should get over this " a priority draft pick will fix everything" attitude and I still believe it. Now that does not mean I don't think we deserve one or need the help provided. It is the attitude that annoys me. The MFC has bought us to this point the point. The MFC chose the last two coaches and FD"s, we chose poorly at the draft table, we chose poor management. It has taken us a decade to grind down to the worst list in the competition. The competition owes us bugger all we have bought 95% of this on ourselves. IMO it is going to take us at least another three years ( including 2014 ) to become even competitive with the top six sides. The AFL will only put up with us until the end of the this TV contract as they need the games we provide. If we have not dragged ourselves up by then we are in serious trouble for our very existence. How many people will watch the Game tomorrow on Foxtel? I suggest a few thousand. The broadcasters probably already see us as expendable. The future does not look good to me. Now you can say I am negative but in my opinion we are at deaths door

Only 1/18 DF

Sounds like me at the Amos on Saturday Melbourne who?

That should not be that hard DF Anyone who can actually play 100 minutes week in week out will give better value at probably half the cost.

It is effectively happening at the start of the season DF Cannot get on the park has the same effect on results

Sounds like a good day coming up jazza Where is it played?

An extremely good question DF the only answer I can give is It cannot. The only way forward is the replacement of at least a dozen players IMO. Also add Clark and Dawes who are not physical up to AFL level stress. That is going to take another two draft periods. I hate to say this but last years draft selections are going have to take up more of the slack in 2015 than they should or the last two years results will continue. However things are looking up I am having a banana and peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Off to an amos game tomorrow. Good weekend ahead I expect.
