old dee

Me either ( is it Neither or either ) perhaps there is a message it that!

Was it just me I thought there were as many Dees supporters at the game yesterday as pies? I am sure there were as many Reds as others in the crowd. Also seem to be louder boos for the ump when the decisions went the wrong way. Either way I cannot wait your a win against a top side the noise will be unbelievable. I got there early and was listening to a couple of radio stations, I think AW had Bartlett on and all they want to talk about was if and when PR and PJ were staying plus a whole lot of jokes about snow season approaching etc. I kept hoping Bartlett would say guys do you want to talk about the improved players or trot out the hackney jokes. No wonder they are falling in the ratings.

I came away yesterday thinking that in that game the two worst players for the Dees were Gawn and Salem. Salem is a first year kid, yesterday was probably the toughest game he has every been in. Probably needs a rest. Gawn I thought gave very little, Grundy beat Jamar and thought he fixed up Gawn in the last quarter as well. Gawn gave very little around the ground, I would rather play Fitzpatrick we know he is capable of taking some marks in the forward half and converting. I am probably biased but just don't see the talent that many others on here see. Grundy by the way is a good one.

ok

Nicotine patches jazza do you have any?

I believe that is the problem in a nut shell jazza End of discussion

Almost anyone you can think of

I have no problem with Idea or the ambition. I just see one problem the boat has sailed. Collingwood took the mantle ten years ago will Nero fiddled.

Keep that firmly fixed at the front of mind jazza You need another eight years to see the next flag!

Not many and very

Who?

Me either S_T. When JKH came on I spent 5 minutes trying to work out which smaller player was off.

Yep dr.

Welcome to the AFL in 21st century rpfc. Sorry not trying to be smart but that is the situation and we are trying now to rectify the errors of 2007 -10 where we denuded the experienced player stocks.

If I am honest with myself BB we are exceeding my expectations from the start of the season. I have to keep reminding myself where we have come from

Yes you are right, during the third quarter I was thinking almost anyone would be giving more than Salem. However I cannot have the last two, nothing there IMO

Deserves a contract next year IMHO

Very glad I achieved something yesterday jazza

100% agreement rpfc The problem as I see it is who do we use to replace them?

Spot on jazza I particularly like your comment on Grimes, I have been saying for Two years he is half back. Yesterday confirmed in my mind that we have the players to be a competitive side, PR has IMO got the best out of most of the list. We are still a long way short of having a top class Midfield, we have gone from terrible to competitive. We also have an average at best forward line, take out Dawes and we truly struggle.

Good morning fellow tragics Sorry for leaving a comment and then bolting. I find it wise sometimes not not come on after a game. Emotion is running high and the wrong things can be said. I was not blaming the umps for our loss but the comment was because tha game yesterday was hard to watch. Yesterdays game was typical of what I see week in week out from most sides. It is poor to watch and I have two lots to blame. There are too many rotations this causes IMO the rolling mall and as a spectator I am never sure who is on and off at any point in the game. Yesterday I was moaning to myself about a particular player only to realise he was not on the ground a bit hard for the player to contribute when he is on the boundary. Yesterday I noticed twice MFC players get caught by a player coming off the interchange when a couple of seconds earlier the area was clear. Rules committee are to blame. The second I believe is a result of the first, the Holding the ball / in the back is a disaster, how often do we see five or six players in a scrum and after an interminable time the ump blows the whistle most time this results in a ball up as he has no idea who is at fault. But every now and then he pulls out a holding the ball decision how I have no idea and almost never an in the back decision. The game is poor to watch they have got to eliminate all these interchanges or at the very least reduce the number significantly. Umpire to the rules umpires a few in the back decisions will reduce the diving on the player with the ball. Here ends my rant

There obviously is no free kick for in the back.Now if second to the ball just jump on the guy in front. Just one continuous scramble. Our game is dying

I do know the difference dc.The connection is they are both worn by the same wankers! Go Dees!

I would far sooner have the Roos win this than the Tigers wyl. Now there is a team to dislike!

All starts again tomorrow. Dees by one point
