    Strange how this go out of fashion BboI have not seen anyone have a shandy for twenty years or it could be longer. Of course it may be that I don't mix in the right circles!

    An extremely good question Redleg .Back in the sixties before wine became popular it was a "lady' s " alternative to a mixed drink. Other than that I will bow to superior knowledge.

    Bruce Springsteen for me. Christmas present from my daughter and to be honest that night with my daughter is way more important.

    What games in 2012-3? I thought they were training films from the other 17 sides? Now I really feel bad.

    It's me every now and then I get one of these strange feelings but it quickly passes!

    I think I am correct in saying that he is an restricted free agent. So if we match his offer he stays correct? If that were to happen it would be the first occasion since the rules came in that this was enforced. Interesting times ahead.

    It is surprising how quickly this event becomes the high light of the MFC year and how early our interest in it starts. However in 2014 we will still be in the finals race in August so this year I have every confidence the average response will be " what draft'?

    Unfortunately I think you will be stuck with me.IMO it will be a miracle if Frawley stays. In his shoes would you?

    Now the first thing is DF you need to get a fixture in front of you. You will then notice that on June 22nd North play the dees at the MCG. The only thing wrong with this games is it is Sunday afternoon. What you need to remember is that if the Dees play out of their skins this year we will IMO win approx. six games. If you leave out all NON MCG games the chance of seeing a win will be rare. Go back to my original five games. All at the G IMO they will be the best ones to go to. first two we have a rough chance of a win. The other three give you the opportunity to see the Dees play a side that will display how the game should be played.

    Seriously doubt it but you will see a good side play well

    This has occurred to me for some time Mr Leg.Perhaps I should move to the hawks it might be just the thing to get them on the right track!

    Well I don't know about you Redleg but I was barracking for the blues. Never really in it I am afraid.

    Here is my list DF now remember I have only picked Games at the "G" Games we have a chance of winning May 10 - Bulldogs August 17 GWS Games to see a good side that will play AFL very well. April 26 - Swans June 22 - North July 12 - Cats I thought about Queens birthday but Airfares will be high, G will be packed with Pies, You will be so high in the top tier you will need your own oxygen and you don't want to see us get done by the Pies. Now watch everyone fall on me for those suggestions

    Went for the first half today Redleg. Patience is the order of 2014.
  20. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    ok I will get back to you but I suspect you will have a short list.
  21. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Have seen that a fair bit from the teams we play. I will put it simply for you - Do you want to go to a game that the MFC have a reasonable chance of winning? or - would like to see a game where a team plays AFL at a high level?

    That was a surprise considering it is the anniversary of the Blackest day in Australian sport. There are a couple of good points in the article IMO. One year on there has been only one charge and that to a Canberra player. - No charges for either Essendon or Cronulla . - ASADA is an under resourced and an underwhelming organization. To me it beggars belief that one year on we have no charges.

    Depends on if you want the best chance of a win or you want to see how the best teams play?
