    You have covered it well dpositive, very close to how I remember it. Your last line is my big concern, I fear that the MFC is at the cross roads over the next 3 - 4 years IMO anything less than winning the 70% of our matches by 2015 we see the MFC become an irrelevance in the AFL. We are not imune to being amalgamated with the GWS by the end of this decade if we keep on the way we have over the last 5 years. A decade of failure we be the end of us.

    With our luck they would leave behind the wrong half of the team.

    I am surprised at you Redleg After all these years I would have thought you were used to it by now. Such is the lot of a dees supporter!

    I agree BB, it grieves me to say it but Carlton are bigger news than the Dees. If they lose badly tonight the MFC will struggle to get a line on any subject tomorrow in the HUN. Feel sorry for Ratten but there is sure to be a headline in the next few days like "Commitee tells Ratten he has their full confidence?"

    I know a number of supporters of Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton and Collingwood quite well Redleg and while "disgusting" might be out of place, the majority think we are "pathetic" most of them temper this in my presence with Pity. But the general opinion is we belong to last century, are not relevent to the AFL in 2012 and believe one day ( maybe 5 - 10 years time ) we will be amalgamated with GWS or GCS when we go belly up. Which they see as inevitable. Now as Dees supporters we might object violently but I believe that the Majority of other teams supporters have a similar view. IMO only greatly improved performance on field over the next 3 years will change their view.

    Careful there WJ I am sure a couple of the other 47 are clever enough!

    You have my vote Redleg Not that it is worth much as I am confident the FD does not seek it.

    Sorry to disagree but Brian Taylor is the bottom for me. He has no idea

    Had a great day at the footy today Just got home Uni Blacks got up again by 6 goals ( beat the last team today ) still undefeated. Picked up by a couple of mates so no need to drive. Don't think the cork will come out of single malt tonight, already a few too many MB's I had forgotten what it feels like going to a game expecting to win. Bloody marvilous! Now the pain starts I guess but at least I can turn off the Tele if it gets too bad. Need to stay nice from here on, 7.00 AM GD minding duty tomorrow morning. Go Dees

    Agree Redleg. Enjoyed my football at the weekend. Uni blacks won and now six straight. Love it

    Went to watch Uni Blues on saturday. Had a great afternoon ( remember when all tha games were Saturday afternoon ) they won the game. Then came saturday night, not a surprise really but I was surprised the game was over at the 15 minute mark of the first quarter. Yesterday I was washing my car before attending a friends birthday party in the afternoon. And I did something I have never done in my 52 years of suppoting the Dees. I peeled off my "demons Sticker" I am too brittle to take the derision associated with being a dees supporter now. It did not help of course that a large number of them were Tiger fans. Just shows how low have I sunk? And I have every confidence worse is to come before 2012 is over.

    Just read the story on Leigh Williams on the MFC web site. Just brings back the reality that in the end it is only a game. Hope the kid gets back before the end of 2012

    Cannot promise that mate I have not seen the last three games but there does not seem much to be positive about. My 17 month old Grand Daughter is fantastic, ran to me at the airport this morning. How is that?
  21. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Got off the plane H_T to be told by my daughter the usual applied. After a nap I watched the casey game and enjoyed my second game of football for 2012. MFC will be no fun in 2012 / 3 so I am concentrating on Casey and UNI blacks. The last three weekends have convinced me there is life outside of the MFC.

    I cannot believe how calm I have been the last two weeks WJ. There are however other reasons to come home. I am busting to see my Grand Daughter
  23. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Good morning Guys arrive back Saturday morning. Any chance I could get off the plane to the news we lost by less than 5 goals? I had this dream last night that we got done by 22 goals and Neeld was sacked on saturday morning. G Lyon took over as no one else wanted the job. Nothing unusual I guess for a dees supporter, the dreams of a GF victory no longer happen even in my dreams.

    On Saturday I went to the football and had a very good time. No I said Saturday went to see Uni Blacks play Oakleigh in the Amateurs. Enjoyed it no end, you are close to the Game can hear the coaches address etc. Game was played less like the AFL and more like the game of 15 years ago. I could actually work out the game plan Standard is not as good but it was played at a fairly fast rate. Uni Blacks got up, had a couple of beers with a couple of mates on the way home. All in all a good day. Then I went yesterday. I cannot work out what they are trying to achieve with the usual result Came home again with my guts torn out, with no hope in sight. Not much more needs to be said. But I am now off to the welcome relief of the USA for the next couple of weeks. Do not have to endure the debacles of St Kilda, Geelong or Hawthorn. I hope there is a MFC left when I get home. Good luck I feel for you all,
