old dee

Boom boom!

I had a serious car crash this morning. 100% my fault, inattention. One metre further into the intersection and I think I would have been watching the Dees from another dimension. Everyone walked away ok. Puts the MFC in a different perspective. Never forget to tell your loved ones you do!

Oh I am sure it is the right decision R and B

I hope this not a omen but I will be in Bendigo next weekend!

The problem is R and B none of us are getting any younger.We starting talking about this two years ago there were six then! It is on next weekend come hell or high water.

Very good bb!

As it should! Is it official yet?

I have little idea if the kid has it or not at AFL level. But lets keep in mind at all the clubs above us he would probably not have played a game yet. He is a first year player like Viney. With a very few exceptions first year draftees take two to three years to develop into AFL players. I doubt at this point it is his fault, it is the crap around him that is the problem.

Well it has been six dc and we are worse than 2007 so probably not but If I say more than three out loud I do some self harm. But like WCE I have put the cue in the rack for at least 2014

Three Redleg!I think eight or nine might be closer to the mark. We currently have one afl standard mid fielder. The rest are either backman or forwards trying to fill holes. Honestly I see three years to make this team competitive. I doubt we will last that long.

Well it appears that way dc.I ended up at Uni blacks game, they won again. I heard the three quarter time score and thought thank god I decided to come here.

Great then what is all the gloom about?Seriously I have been thinking this for some months now but this the worst MFC side in my memory of 54 years bar none. I did not expect to win and I thought 10 - 12 would be the result. But I have to say 20 is returning to the Neeld days. took the MFC sticker off the car this morning, packed away the cap and scarf. Think I am just about done, there is more to life than the pain that is the MFC.

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.

In almost any other club JT would have good players around him. He probably would not have even played a game yet at the top ten clubs. Again we are expecting miracles from a kid in his first year. I will try and reserve my judgment till well into 2014.

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.
