old dee

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?

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

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.

Shall do hardtack Stay calm

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,

Next week Redleg i have one more weekend of penance to do for my sins.

Hi Redleg not sure if you are around today seem to remember you are going Overseas this week. If you are around have a good trip mate.

You are not Robinson Crusoe

Unfortunately that is correct. Can you imagine how many will be a game for the Dees when we play an interstate side at the ES in July if it is us? A thought too bad to dwell on

It has been a very big corner but yes hopefully

Not sure what has happened but I have just checked the Newspapers, Radio, TV and Internet! Nothing disasterous is being reported about the MFc. What the hell is going on.

Ok Mate see you later in May. Good luck in the USA

A strange calm has come over me. Late yesterday I realised that we are indeed due for a very sad and depressing year. So I have given up all expectations for 2012. The only real thing to look forward to now is the trading period and Draft day. With a bottom or near bottom finish, comp draft picks, and talk of new jumper sponsors in September and October That should provide something to look forward to. Of course it is also helped by the fact that I will be out of town next week so I can largely ignore that result. The off OS for the next three games, in the good old USA you really have to look for AFL results to find any. So bliss has arrived no more MFC for 4 weeks, that sounds like heaven.

Where did you get this info? He is not listed as such on the MFC web site Then again Greg Healy is not list as a board member either.

Redleg you may get your wish and we will not need to tank either. However we have no chief of recruiting who is going to pick them? But then again it seems the chiefs of the last ten years have not set the world on fire. Perhaps we are better of without one, It is hard to believe you could not do as well picking them out of a barrel.

Late yesterday i had taken about all I could concerning AFL Football and the MFC. So I made myself a promise that I would Ignore anything to do with the AFL and the MFC for 24 hours. All was was going well till I picked up todays Hun and wham what a head line. But I held fast and did not read any of the story ( that was really hard ), I avoided radio by listening to a CD when out in the car. The result has been unexpected, I feel very calm and I have a new prospective on my liesure time. You know there are 1 billion people in China who do even know that the MFC exists. So I am now looking at the MFC in a new light. DO NOT OBSESS We are a football club that is towards the bottom of the competition in a number of areas. So what I have had a lot of fun times as well as a lot of crap. We may well be crap for the balance of this decade but i have been here before I know what to expect. I find it hard to believe we will win on saturday in Perth but who knows the margin might be less than I think. I get a lot of fun out of Demonland and the majority of you dees supporters out there even if as a football team we are very ordinary. I cannot change what happens to the MFC, if it fails to exist in 2020 so be it i might not exist either. The up side is enjoy life do not let the Bloody AFL get you down. Carn the Dees

No seems the same to me Redleg

Have not tried for some time so lets see what happens

I am going OS in two weeks oh how I wish it was this weekend. The next week is going to be agony.

Redleg I feel like a towel that has just come out the washing machine. Unless the informant is discovered / outed before saturday we could easlier produce another 186 performance. And if they are outed it is still on the cards. I thought I had been through some black periods but this must take the cake

No Striker but that may be because mine are not as important to me as they were 10 years ago

That was why I made my comment here Redleg but seems I am on my own with trying to keep the thread count down. Sorry you and me Redleg

Last time I had one was January 1971. Now that is a long time ago Me and three mates drove across the Nulabor, 300 miles of dirt in those days for Summer holidays. No air con in the HD Arh those were the days
