old dee

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?

Well guys it is 51 minutes from the big shut down hope I get to see you all soon. Demonland forever it is much more fun than our actual team.

I would have said bloody tragic Redleg and I doubt it is mate. We have more problems than can be fixed in one years draft / trading period. Sadly it will probably 2014 before we get out of the bottom half dozen. I think the period 2008 - 2011 has been largely wasted. Not a lot to show for all those early picks. Ahh the life of a Dees supporter.

It truely mistifys me how we choose so many players who cannot kick to position and who want to hand ball to each other while standing a metre apart standing still.

Redleg you say that as if we had a choice there is no chance we will finish higher that 3 last if fact I think there is a good chance we will finish second last. looked at the fixture again today and the only side I think we are capable of beating is GCS Based on last two weeks form the second GWS game is 50/50. GWS get to play GCS again they will almost certainly beat them. A win against us and we are level on three wins each Add the beltings we are going to get from Saints, Freo twice and North melbourne we could easily slip below GWS's percentage

Thanks for reminding me Dr I knew as soon as I typed 70's some would remind me of a crap year after then. We have so many options! The thing that annoys me the most about 2012 Dr. is we are in year 5 of a five year rebuild and have gone nowhere. Still the easy beats of the competition, still effectively last but no first draft pick Not that they seem to have helped much. Oh well there is always the next decade to be great again Perhaps 2020's will be our period

May be maurie but his form before the injury was poor and he could not get a gig at senior level when we were getting belted in the first few games and had no mid field players. I would be surprised if he was dropped off the list. IMO he had a good first year and then it has been very lean since then. Just seems to be a player that has not look good under Neeld. Might have been all due to injury or my imagination I just wonder

Yes he did not play well against Sandy redleg but neither are about 10 in the senior team this year.

I would agree Dc in fact I doubt we have had a year this bad since the 70's and we still has 40% of the year to go. It could easily go down as the worst year since 64!

After observering The changes over the last couple of weeks I have come to the conclusion that at the 6th July some players have had there papaers stamped. It appears to me that Morton, Green, Couch, Gysberts, Davey and Petterd are stamped as gone or up for trade at the end of 2012 so lets play other people between now and the end of the year. All below happens in the light of a 10 Goal defeat last week. Davey is injured for one week and comes back via Casey ( after I think his best game of the year in game Vs GWS ) Green Cannot get a game when we have no forwards Couch Upgraded before the season starts plays numerous good games at Casey but cannot get a game at senior level Gysberts Has been back playing at Casey for some weeks but not selected when we are desperate for mid field players Petterd Similar to Green been back from injury for a month now, we are desperate for forwards but cannot get a game Morton We lose two talls through Injury and put in a short guy (who,s form has been poor) in preference to a tall player Looks bad for these guys Am I imagining too much? What do you all think?

Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire. Back to WA for me. Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild. We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard. No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump. IMHO no7 is in the lead group

I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

No courage DC?

I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both. If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7 I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane. It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying. So please No.7 at Casey this weekend. PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

I think he only left on Monday DC Said he was going to the game on sunday. Also think he was going to Thailand

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg. They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.
