old dee

Yes we had better beat them well in the last game or how good do we look. Thought Butcher was good considering he was in a forward line getting very little of the ball. After all the injury problems he might finally be getting it together. His contract with port must be nearly up. Anyone know his position?

"As well as" Yes I will be interested as well I was going to Coburg today but unfortunately I am Ganddaughter sitting, Daughter is quite ill ( Nothing deadly) And you know she smiles at me wether the Dees win or lose.

I am down to crossing my fingers WJ So that is how desperate I have become, zero confidence at present. I am in the "not expecting much till 2012" mood now. Unfortunately I have had this feeling far too often over the years.

I did not inhale DC I promise. You have more confidence than me. IMO we have a pray if Green, Davey, Sylvia and Maloney play good games. But as none of them have done it for 4 weeks and I doubt all of them on the same day this year it looks bleak tomorrow.

I doubt that Redleg However I agree I must admit I had a look today. My god the vitriol is unbelieveable. Life springs eternal I wonder if we have a pray tomorrow? And yes DC I will stand in the corner for 30 minutes for looking at that other thread!

Sorry I was not trying to make your day worse. unfortunately them is d facts

ADC Now that is a traveloge if ever I heard one. I may need to lay in a supply before sunday!

have not tried the first option I will have to give it a go.

Ditto Single malt DC much better.

You can make anything you like of stats but here is an interesting one. how many games have we lost by 9+ goals over the last 4 year. Below is the result from my investigation 2008 7 2009 6 2010 2 2011 7 with 4 games to go. So this year we are equal to our bottom out year and we still have 4 games to go, sunday could easily add another. looks stark against last year. What it clearly says to me is that we have gone backwards in a big way. To have as bad a year as 2008 is amazing. Any thoughts?

Sorry DC I fell in I will try harder in future

Thanks redleg they have had cheap prices there before. going down during the week I will check them out.

Yes you should have an sold them outside the ground for $8 / kg Well redleg help your mates out where was the stall?

Hangon if you do not appreciate a little humour in this bleak period I am sorry for you. Leave us all here having some resonable discussion and a bit of fun. It is called "not the Tom scully Thread" for a reason.

best news for the last 3 months.

it is a much darker red than anything else. I have got the old one out as I sent it back after the Geelong game. I never remember Melbourne being this colour red.

Ht I think 4 will see us out. God you would wonder that there is anything left to say. So come on guys there must be lots of other things to talk about. Does any one like this years scarf. I don't it is maroon and blue

The answer is NO. but we only have 4 weeks to endure it

Yes I have given myself a good slap and talking to!

Redleg you will probably get 4000 supporters of the team they are playing. I might go to sydney to see the dees play them. I might have some chance of seeing a win and see how TS goes with them! Sorry could not help myself.

Strong words Jack I would agree with only one problem. The AFL will pour money into this for 20+ years At the expense of Melbourne based teams like North, Tigers. Dees etc. It will get up even if they have to lose a couple of Victorian teams in the process.

I agree A few weeks back I suggested we should trade him while he still has some currency. Nothing has happened to change my mind.

I hope not Redleg if we do it really says to me that all hope is gone. If we prefer a player who has been out for eight weeks with a leg injury to other fit players then we are truely desperate and have little confidence in our list.

It is heading that way for me too Jaded. By Monday 15/8 I will be thinking of the coming NBL season. Wonder how the Tigers are going to perform with their new player list? Looks a little more hope there for me!

They will definately drop before we win at KP. Had some in Indonesia last week. After four serves guess what? they are only bananas. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
