old dee

Not even for a 30 year old CF. I would be thinking 4 weeks actually. Calf injuries are one of the hardest to heal.

I was referring to the support for the ladies.

People have to get used to the fact that we are not Pies or Tigers supporters. Dare I say it but we are more reserved. I was in the southern stand which probably had the bulk of dogs supporters and I thought the response was good. The other element is the GF was a long time ago in a football sense. I suspect had it been the previous weekend the response would have been bigger. While on the subject of response I thought the attendance of Dees supporters was good we were approaching 35k of the 48. Had the dogs supporters got similar numbers it would have been 70k. To the commentators get off our backs it was the dogs who didn’t turn up. My pie friends were telling me after Friday night it is a nightmare getting home I am sure that had an effect as well. If had been May with all the negativity I would have stated home.

They had an " easy one" today how did that go?

Good grief we just beat a potential top 4 side by 8 goals and people want multi changes. Now matter how good a team is there will be members who have average games. The only changes IMO will be Kossie out if suspended and perhaps Viney back in.

Not sure what you were on last night but stop.

But that is Carlton!

If he isn't out it will mean the AFL campaign against these hits is BS. Let's see if their bite is up to their bark.

I agree saw little last night but it is one game I doubt he will be dropped with kossie out next week.

Does anyone know why the game was at Skinner reserve and not the western oval?

I think you will find Gary was burnt during his early career at Lara and people wondered would he make it back. He did in aces.

They are not within a country mile of Lou and Jack etc.

I actually think the dogs have a good team they just ran into a better one last night. I would be surprised if they don't finish in the top 6.

Yes they didn't have anywhere near the fitness of modern players. One reason they were part time players.

And they wonder why ratings are low. It is like the game last night with all the [censored] before the start. Isn't the game enough?

The great Gary Dempsey

It was a very good night WCW. Come winter it will be sadly TV for me. Good timing I am off to NZ for the next game.

Me too, I thought there was too much hype last night. It seems like in the 21st century the game isn’t enough.

I notice that often in games Bbo he is one of the few that actually show it after a torrid period of play. I should be as tired!

A few like Bedford will leave for opportunity but that is price of having a good list and being at the top. If you are young and playing for a very good team there is the chance of playing in a premiership e.g. late in 21 Hunt gets injured and Bowey gets in and plays in a winning GF.

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind. It amazes me how people are down on Tmac. He does a lot of un noticed work. The opposition knows if they don’t put a good player on him he will kill you. They say you don’t appreciate someone until they are not there. Witness last year we were never the same without him in the second half of last year.

One of the wonders to me of the modern game is fitness. How fit are AFL players. It amazes me how they run 40-50 metres to create a lose man. Not once but for 120 minutes.

Way in front! They are not on the sauce.

We will beat them anyway Clint.

Sunday morning and I am still in bed reason it was after midnight when I got home. From the time I left to go to the game till I got home was 7.5 hours. Now admittedly I left early to make sure I got into the G car park. Ridiculous! The upside ? We slaughter a team that was supposedly a top 4 contender. I have to say rarely have I watched a MFC team play as well as this one and we had 4 of our 21 premiership side out. I know it is only the first game but how could you not be excited. Bring it on Dees we have all waited decades for this team.
