old dee

Well when you say it like that it is hard to resist. But no I must serve out my punishment

Make that 99 redleg I have rejected your punishment. I am baning myself from all talk on the MFC from Midnight Friday 27/7 till midnight 28/7.

OH No Please how can you be so cruel. Anything but that throw me in the briar patch please.

H_T just remembered we are not supposed to discuss this person on here. Not sure what our penance should be. I will accept being banned from attending this weeks game

Justifiably so H_T The Dogs got done something cronic Or we got a great deal. Probably both.

At Hawthorn I would imagine a hell of a lot more than at the Dees. To be honest I have no idea how thy calculate the "compensation" Based on past experience the AFL has probably not worked out a system yet. They usually make up these things on the run. As another aside how must Footscray feel they got one pick for their guy going to GWS and we got 2 picks. Their guy is five times the player ours is!

I thought Moloney and Bate were both free agents which means we cannot trade them and get nine tenths of nothing for them. Or am I mistaken?

Yah no financial problems every again. Your generosity knows no boundaries Redleg.

Very Good DC glad to see you have not lost IT.

Redleg it may be having some effect. But we were crap before most of these injuries happened. It is playing ostriches to think this is our major problem. PS we are rock sold for 16th.

There have been times in Asia wyl When I would have killed for a potato !

I think I share many of your thoughts DC Actually I am more than a bit numb now the way the team has performed since the end of 2010. I have come to the conclusion that talk of premierships is a waste of time. I guess I should content myself with the fact that I have seen one. Doubt I will again I doubt there are enough years left in my bank I would be happy if the MFC could become good enough to win more games than we lose and not be the runt of the competition.

My god the natives have been restless the last 36 hours. Everyone is at each others throats after the disaster in Darwin. Not sure why it was not a surprise. There were probably 8 players in that team that are clearly not AFL standard. Our list is poor and has been reduced even further by injury. I was actually surprised the result was only four goals. If everyone is restless today imagine next Monday after a 10 goal flogging by North at the Dome of Death!

Yes Redleg I thought the same thing. St Judd again

Great drug with a bad reputation DC Handy one to blame when you screw up. A bit like blaming the car when some idiot does some stupid and causes pain and death. Send some free samples to Scotty. I hear there are plenty floating around at the Tigers.

Redleg another is out injured. This time McKenzie is there ever a week we do not have an injury? We must be the worst going around.

Sadly I agree not sure there are any more trips to the well left for a lot of Dees fans. While I want us to win as many games as possible Redleg The reality is 2 is I think the Max. I really think we will struggle to beat both GWS and GCS. Go Dees ( spoken in a soft voice with no conviction )

I am with you there. In fact Redleg I hope we win more games I do not give a stuff where we finish on the ladder. I want the rush of winning. To hell with draft picks we have done that for 5 years. Just win games and worry about drafting in November.

This is exactly what I am talking about Redleg. When did we start hoping not to win? Any way I keep telling you there is no problem. We have one possibly 2 wins to go this year. It does not matter what the teams above us do

Is it just me? I think I have lost enthusiasm for the season. Left the game on saturday and retired to the pub for a couple before the trip home. My mate said it is three weeks before the next game at the G Just looked at each other and the feeling was who cares. I think the results so far, injuries, certainity of results and "we have been here every year for the last 5" have drained my will. Struggled to get even the enthusiasm to even come on Demonland till yesterday. I think I am over the multi threads on here talking about which players will go, which players to draft etc. When on earth will we have the prospect of making the finals, discussing the possibility of winning games start? Early july and another season is done. I used to worry about losing games now I expect to lose I think the MFC have drained me.

Cam Bruce has announced his retirement from the Hawks. Really a pity it was from Hawthorn and not from the MFC. Should have been at the Dees during 2011. Good luck in the future CB. You gave me a lot of joy over the years at the Dees.

I keep telling you Redleg you are as safe as a church. Port will beat us next weekend and I reckon we will struggle to beat both GWS and GCS. I think there is a chance we could drop to second last by seasons end. We are now seriously running out of player options. The high light for me on Saturday was Green, a few more games like that and he might get one more year.

That is a better chance but we would still have to beat Port. I struggle with more wins than 2 redleg. Now Davey is out for the season does not improve our chances

I have said elsewhere Redleg I reckon there is no hope of bridging the Gap we need to beat Port plus 3 other games to have a pray. Port plus 2 is the absolute most I can see. Even then Port will probably beat GWS so no hope in my opinion.

I have little idea of his future worth Redleg due to injury etc I have seen so little of him. You would have to wonder if he will make it given the injury he has had. Back injuries are not easily fixed long term. But who knows if nothing else his return increases our depth and options which have seem very limited the last couple of months. As you have said often will we ever recruit a player that does not get a serious injury in his first two years?
