  1. Not sure I agree with you DF The last couple of years it has been a very good guide to our abilities. In the Main we have been flogged by everyone and guess what same results in the season proper.

    More than a feeling DD they said so. Interesting also that Roos said he never understood why Miller had not been a one club player. Hmm smelt to me of another great recruiting / list disaster but that is now ancient history. Onward and upward. I agree with your summary it is close to my feelings
  3. Big article on the back page of todays HUN. Federal Government has a retired Judge investigating why it is all taking so long Also commented "why has Dank not been interviewed" It makes a claim that one reason maybe the problem of if AOD.... was legal or not at the time. I have smelt this coming for sometime!
  4. Not particular about your friends RB! Only joking I have a number of mad Richmond supporters.
  5. Just reminded me WJ, Roos tonight commented that he was astounded at the number of people who go to watch training.
  6. Bbo would have a large field of grandmas to deal with, I don't think I saw anyone under 50. Says something about the average age of our members I think the Males average age is even higher

    I actually thought he said less than a hundred at Essendon and PR said there would be 10 at the Swans and they quickly retire to the bar for question time.

    Agree CBD definitely less. This is my take - I was way more impressed than the two previous years - Our new Chairman seems fairly quiet and I think he seems happy for PJ to be the up front guy - Peter Jackson is the guts of our current Administration, leaves every other CEO at the MFC that I can remember in his dust. It is vital this guy stays beyond the end of 2014. - If Roos cannot gets us back to respectability then no one can, IMO he was confident and seem to know exactly what he needs to do. At the mention of another good sponsor this month my mind flew back a few years to the " Chinese who were a few days away" But that was just me. Overall I was impressed. PS I forgot to mention for all those who complain about the Darwin Games, this year we will make $1.3 million from the deal. Playing both at the MCG would be close to a loss. PJ said get over it, there is no big effect on the players.
  9. It will be disappointing if one of the three does not make it. I am taking a punt on Dawes playing. Hogan is a kid and should not be rushed. Clark is brittle better to give him max. change to repair. But don't worry we have Pedersen available.
  10. Not me but the majority say it is easier to see if one side is in basic white. I guess the biggest part of this "majority" are the theatre goers. must be them who don't really care about the traditional element of the clubs.
  11. I understand that rjay I thought you were suggesting we won other NAB / practice matches.
  12. I will withdraw if a tv person says they don't want it dc. My information is that the whole subject is driven by the TV industry
  13. Not sure if I am mixed up rjay. But the Renmark game was one of only threewins for the entire 2013 year. I am confused.
  14. Not sure if anyone watched the Super bowl today but IMO it demonstrates the stupidity of the argument about white jumpers being for clash reasons. The NFL has for some time had Teams wear their traditional jumper for home games and a basically white one for the away team. So the result today in the GF of American Football is Denver in their 90% orange and Seattle in a white one with Blue and green trimmings. Nice contrast. But where is the clash in Denver in Orange and Seattle in Blue and Green. As in AFL it is about Television first, second and third. Fans Bad last. Sound familiar ?
  15. [ I know it is all personal opinion etc BD But Pedersen! I can think of five - ten I would play before him. He is a Casey player on his good days. I am serious, why him?
  16. That may well be 100% correct dr However it is still dancing with your sister
  17. Not sure where you got that idea from jazza. Single malt is for special occasions. Beer is for often!
  18. With reason. I would love this reaction to the MFC
  19. Adelaide - Dislike them with a vengeance Brisbane - Don't mind remind me of poor old Fitzroy Carlton - Ok with me Lived in their zone as a youngee Collingwood - Actually don't mind them now except when we play them Essendon - Ambivalent Fremantle - As above Geelong - Dislike Gold Coast - Ambivalent GWS - They are approaching the top of my dislikes, giving Adelaide a run. Hawthorn - Like them a lot ( this is what the MFC should have become ) North Melbourne - like there desire to stay in Melb. Port Adelaide - Ambivalent Richmond - Begrudging like St Kilda - Ambivalent Sydney - Dislike now the soft spot for the lakesiders is well gone West Coast - Dislike to a high degree Western Bulldogs - Have a soft spot except when we play them
