old dee

But then you have to get up to pee!

5 of our six specialist batsman were poor. 3 of them have been for 2 years. It is time for 3 batsman changes going into the boxing day test. Out: Hughes, Khawaja, Ponting and Hussey is close to his last game. We are finding it hard to beat NZ imagine the slaughter that is India coming up

Oh my god 17 hours and 12 minutes to go I am not sure how I will get to sleep tonight.

You must live somewhere different if there is not one Redleg. I was close to making a purchase yesterday but my waist line got in the road.

Yes WJ "the day of infamy"

Mail has just arrived with the "Heartbeat Year book 2011" Inside is a "2011 team poster" hell now I will have to go out and get a frame so I can put that photo up to remind me of the great year we had in 2011. Actually does look like a good book.

I think it has already past it Redleg. The only thing on TV more boring Than the brownlow count is the draft of GWS players. Gee I wonder which 13 of the first 15 picks will GWS take!

May well be dreaming "DeeoldFart" but as I constantly tell Mrs OD if you take away my dreams what do I have left? Unfortunately my hopes have been dashed too many times I am firmly in the "wait and See " mood. But it is only 7th December and the memories of the 2011 season have not yet faded. By early Jan I will probably catch your mood. Until then GO DEEES

I think you have a lot better chance with Fitzpatrick than Evans. Did not think Evans showed much last year, but I have been seriously wrong on a number of occasions.

Speaking of the Bombers, I see they have nowhere to train at present. I am really sad about this problem. Think I will ring them and suggest the Junction is available!

The battle has begun! my 11 month old grand daughter now has a red and blue teddy with a dees emblem on the front. Soft red and blue footy is also in action. quite likes it so far. Now to ward off Nana and father ( pies ) and mother (bombers ) and I am home. Need the team to start winning and playing finals regularly over the next 5 years to have a chance.

DC you are pulling my leg right????????????????

Too many bananas!

Ahh those were the days WJ. You have covered it beautifully.

Best dirty water you will ever drink Redleg

Almost Deeoldfart, I did not know anything about them till this morning. Was in Sydney getting Rained on all week. Quite tired when I got home last night so it was this morning before I discovered not a skinny choir boy amongst them. Good news that is for sure. I have a single malt beside me as I type will that do?

Hell of a drop From Champagne to River water!

RD this is supposed to be the TS free zone. please go somewhere else

Oh be still my beating heart!

WJ there are so many different drafts now and so many conditions about who goes in what order and how many GWS get that my brain glazes over at the mention of a Draft. Some time early in the new year can you tell me what wonderful players we have drafted. they will be very good and we were surprised they did not get picked earlier. No doubt they will be development types that will need to put on weight and they will be ready around 2016. oh sorry I fell asleep typing!

Low but true. Until we get as financial as the Pies ( probably never ) then we will always have to grovel to the AFL. They say jump and we say how high. We should never forget that we need the AFL far more than they need the MFC. If the dees folded tomorrow the AFL would go on with hardly a blink. In fact they could transfer the players to GWS just like Fitzroy and Brisbane. That is the world we live in. IMO Eddie is right we can be raped and only Dees supporters are hurt. No one else gives a stuff.

You are very observant "mollydee" did not notice. Glad i have won something this week. i seem to be fighting a losing battle with Computers and software. I am about to throw the whole thing off the westgate. That is if I can get high enough to clear the new fence

My statts read fairly similar Redleg but i am a bit older. Ya goda luv em!

Very good point Deeoldfart!

You are 100% correct Redleg. Right now there is nothing better than the smile I get whatever team she ends up supporting. Of course the iceing on the cake would be "carn the Dees"
