There were other candidates, I guess hind sight is a wonderful thing

Agree Was DB "what we needed at any stage in our development"?

Hi MrMoose Not sure you can have it both ways, either DB was good or he was not. If you accept what Neeld says our team was no where near fit enough for AFL level. It might explain all those last quarters where we had multiple goals kicked against us. IMO that means DB had a poor understanding of the requirements of AFL. So do you still really like DB as a coach?

2011 has finally started to show a good side to me. Went to the Basketball last night. The Tigers are coming together beautifully. 5 wins from 6 games, it is not hard to see why patrick mills is in the NBA ( when they are playing ) The guy is brilliant. Such a contrast to the Dees, most of the team have only been playing together 10 weeks and they are already looking good. As well i don't have to wait 3 years till they develop ( I know it is a different situation. ) Finally something with "Melbourne" in it that is doing well. Roll on summer 2011 /2

IMO WJ the Thai will be more enjoyable

Might even pick someone who can play this side of 2015 Do you think? No that is probably asking a bit much.

WJ I am devastated you are not going I was so looking forward to your review of the game.

I remember him WJ I think he was on the list for 2 years but never got beyond ordinary seconds player. Was about the same time as Jimmy and Sean were playing.

Love to hear your thoughts on the game WJ.

Doubt it redleg, I was up there last week and inspite of all you hear AFL is still in its infancy. And after getting belted last week who cares! I just pray we get no injuries the result I could not care less about.

I read that somewhere a week or two back Nuggets. In the media nothing surprises me. I actually don't mind Eddie, I am debating the worth of Foxtel at the moment. Have had it before but bailed out a couple of years back. But cannot see the Dees being on 7 very often. Might have to get it to see away games in 2012.

No chance Redleg I am not all that keen on Cherries!

Breaking News Bananas $4.99/ KG Harbour town Southport at the Fresh Food mart. Bought 10 and they are the best since 2009 Bananas every meal for the next 4 days.

Bananas are $5.90 /KG in Southport QLD. this week How are the smoothies Redleg?

Does that mean that neither of you moved very far?

Every game was on saturday afternoon, including windy hill, fitzroy, Arden street, the lake oval, footscray, hawthorn, Collingwood at collingwood and I think Richmond moved to the MCG in 65. And if my memory is correct they used to televise the last quarter of games live. And that is not to forget the night GF series played at South Melbourne, if they kicked the ball too high it went out of site. I seem to remember the Dees winning a couple of those. I can handle not going to most of those old grounds, so somethings do improve over time.

Thank you I will go looking, do they still exist as a band? PS Just had a look, well I forgot how conservative they looked. Time changes everything

Yes Redleg I clearly remember the girl drummer. Occasionly hear them on 1278.

In My Humble Opinion WYL I always enjoyed "The Magic Bus" a lot more than MG. Arh great years for music even if the Dees were crap.

My god two at once! One at a time for me was good fishing. Yes Mrs OD looked very good in a mini back then. Actually she is probably holding up better than me. can we go the distance deeoldfart? I hope so Carn the Dees PS Over the last 5 years October and November have been the best months of the year. We have not lost a game and expectation rises with Drafts etc.

Oh please I have just got over the pain of 2011 season. Pretty Woman was No.1 in 64 Every time I hear that song the GF comes back to me Heard it on the radio on the way down from the country That and "Have I the Right" by the honeycombs. Drove home that night and thought this glory will go on forever. Oh well I had a few good months till the 65 season got going.

I have some Redleg Mrs. OD kept them for f/dress parties. They are well used. Loaned out continously. Got a new license yesterday. But they have screwed up they have put this olds guys photo on it. Not sure where they got an old photo of my father But now I will have to go back and get it fixed.

Easy up mate your spelling betrays you!

Good one Chook you may be on to something there.

Obviously not enough Potassium and antioxidant in their systems Redleg. How else could you explain it?
