old dee

Agree rpfc However as you suggest for some they will take it to the grave. The USA civil war has been over for 150+ years but there is still angst betweenthe north and the south. lets get on with winning games please!

No they are not hatchman. They was a sound case for both sides of the merge at the time. A lot of very loyal dees fans voted to make sure their club in any fashion survived. It is now history But pillorying people from back then achieves nothing. look to the future and embrace all dees fans who buy a membership in 2012 and beyond.

Hip & Shoulder I am not sure how much more the average member can do. - we have helped reduce the $5 million debt to ZERO - we have bought memberships ( 35000 of us) for 5 years of pityful performance on the field - we go to games to support the team knowing full well we are in for a belting most games. What more do you suggest we can do ? -

Yes it seems we do not have much luck. I seem to remember that a couple of those we drafted knowing they would be out their first year. Gawn and Fitzpatrick I think. I do not take a lot of interest in the fortunes of draftees at other clubs Redleg So I do not know if we are poor by comparsion or not. but like you I think we seem to have a lot of bad luck with these guys. PS you could have added Grimes to that list

I think that during these dark days at the MFC it is very sad that the site cannot afford one thread that is light hearted and does not take itself seriously. We have a multitude of threads with people at each others throats.

Quite obviously your mind is made up. So have a nice night WJ

Pole is already done WJ 2095 posts say yes. what point does he have? That it is embarassing Absolutely one persons opinion. However I get the feeling you agree Is that the case?

98 posts says it all.

Spot on Redleg. I do not understand your logic WJ. As Redleg says this the only thread that bans talk of that person, it was founded for that reason. Please let it continue.

Hi Biffen not sure what you are asking me. This started by me saving I hate warm milk with a slight taste of coffee. eg. Coffee latta. That does not mean i don't have smaller amounts of milk in my coffee. does that cover it? PS loved " Baldrick" oh for some television like that now instead of all that other crap we get served. It I see another bloody talent show I will return my TV. Well not really but I hope you get the drift.

Surely you jest Redleg we have 10 threads a day opened on Demonland 90% of which are just varations on existing threads. It would be much better to amalgamate half of these. Please Mr. WJ leave alone the only thread on Demonland that provides a small amount of light relief in a very black year. In any case Redleg we could just have Mk2 I suggest BPW. What say you all

You are correct DC However two shots of coffee at least gives it a coffee taste. Usually have when I am a little brittle like after celebrating a Dees win. Umm Wondered why I had not had many lately

You got it in one Redleg Very much a Macchiato man, short or long. Sometimes a double shot Cappucino

Are you sure it has really changed a lot 640MD

You had me until the milky coffee bit. I cannot stand warm milk with a hint of coffee

Oh you tough guy DC Does in dribble down your chin? You should make an advert for "tough guy Yoghurt"

How the hell did you know. I was forced into having toast

Oh yes Last sunday I had the weet bix and sour milk trick Not a good result

There not many things worse than too much honey However the bees might give me an arguement

Now that debate could last several pages!

That about covers it Redleg But this is supposed to be T$ free zone. Bananas $1.15 KG this morning and good ones as well.

I agree with your basic premise TT we must improve fairly quickly. However it is still not possible to change over large numbers of players quickly. Where do you get replacements who are any better? The best you can hope for is three or four a year.. Leaving out your first couple of draft picks who will probably always be kids who take time. It will take 2 - 3 years to make substantial changes to our list We are IMO in a similar position to where we were at the end of 2007. Pray a few that do not look the goods at present show big improvements

DC see nasher comment no. 61 above I think that may explain it.

Saw that tonight monoccular. What is the world coming too! And we wonder why kids are over weight now

I agree Jarka hindsight is a wonderful thing. The AFL in those days was pushing for mergers, it was prepared to give $6 miilion to get one up. The alternative was no help from the AFL and existinction. Both Hawthorn and Melbourne were very concerned that the latter would happen to their clubs. So both commenced talking. The rest is history. It ended up being like the American civil war. the two sides of merge or not will take their anger to the grave. 150 years after the American civil war there are still diversions, I suspect there will be at the MFC until those involved are dead and buried. As you can see in this thread the anger is alive and well, it just needs a little prod to fire it up again.
