old dee

Well my big weekend in Bendigo turned to nothing. Five of us getting together. Friday one was down with flu, one broke his arm Thursday night, third one had to visit wife in hospital after fall from a golf cart. Yes you are reading correctly she fell out of golf cart. So the two of us left standing called the weekend early Saturday morning. After some discussion we are all on for next weekend. There seems to be a bit of sadness around tonight did we lose on Saturday or something.

I am serious to the extent Redleg that we have seemingly been fixated on early draft picks. It seems to me that we had this view that all we had to do was get early picks and problems solved. The result was we picked some shockers over a five period and ended up with tanking problems and a crap list. Does it really matter wether you get 2,3 or 4?

Redleg we have got lots of early draft picks over the last seven years and what has it achieved? Bugger all. Forget wether we get position 1,2, 3, 4 or 10 Choice better and develop them better that is the answer not the position in the draft.

What about WCE players going in for ops eg Nic Nat. Would they be having them if they were still a chance to make the finals? Another scandal over looked.

Concentrate on Hawthorn, Geelong or the Pies for the next two months Jman!

I want to finish 16th Redleg if that means the third pick and no priority so be it. I Want this club to win every game possible and then work out what picks we get.

Bendigo for me bb, we used to Play Echuca in the BFL many moons ago.Have a good weekend

Is this just me? I find that I am now accepting of losing, Weekends come and go I know we will lose it is only the size of the loss that changes. I am rapidly losing interest in which player was our best, how did certain players go. I can never remember being this detatched. This Saturdays match is a perfect example, we have not beaten North or won at the dome of death for so long I cannot remember a win. We all know the result and do I care in 2013 not really. This Saturday I am off the country to see my old side that I played for long ago and meet a few old cronies. Good weekend coming up I hope.

My friend Custard hates being called a "Tart"

I have ever confidence you can bring all that to an end Bbo

Nothing on this thread in 24 hours is more informative than 30 postings on a lot of the other threads. e.g. the prattle on the "Jobe Took The Drug" thread over the last week. Some times silence is golden!

Redleg I am shattered Brynes is still in and Spenser has gone to Darwin as an emergency. Obviously we know nothing re Byrnes and Casey has been dudded again.

I assume you mean soccer dc. It is probably that i was bought up on a 100% diet of Aussie rules but nothing happens to my untrained eye. I watch for an hour then go to the loo for 1 minute to miss the only score for the game. I may have watched 100 hours in my life and seen one goal live. I truely struggle with the concept that a nil all game can be "a great game"

I follow most football codes in the order below bb Aussie rules Then large gap Rugby League Gridiron Rugby union very large gap Soccer. The last one I truely struggle with,I have tried on numerous occasions and usually give up.

i thought that was Rugby not League Redleg?

Thanks bb, obviously I am not very clever

Sorry dc way to subtle for me?

I sincerely hope you are right!

A forlorn hope I think Redleg. People complain about us and others having our reserves as an afilliate team like Casey.Over the last few years it seems to me they have way more than us to complain about. In the last three weeks we have taken from their team, Gawn and Fitzpatrick with Spencer out suspended and Jamar injured they have gone from the best ruck division to nil. This weekend Spencer should play for Casey. What is the chance he will go to Darwin as an emergency? And again they will have no ruckman.

A couple weeks ago i thought we might have a chance against the Lions but they way they have played the last couple of weeks i would say we have no show

Add Uni Black drew, kicked themselves out of it. But my old home town got up. God I am grasping at straws

Another Monday not much different to many over the last two years. Only 68 points on Saturday Two years ago 186 occurred to this day we still do not know the details. And whatever they were they may well be the root cause of where we sit today. It still amazes me that a group of players with way more ability than the current group could get beaten so badly.

I pray you are correct!

Redleg, Byrnes is still in the side How? Why? Somethings in life I will never understand

I think his contract is up this year Redleg for a player that will have been on the list for three years with a team that cannot beat time with a stick and still cannot get one game it does not look good.He will probably get little thought or attention. Sad but I think his gone!
