I often feel grey after a Dees game

No arguement about that Goag

Don't think I have a reply WJ

Thought I heard them say 1st dc

But the other 98% don't believe one word of it rpfc

No Biffo is way above their standards. Then most people are that

Love it dd. Bought a rare smile on this black day. Thanks

Thank god for Mr William Grant and his sons!

I just read the article RobbieF I cannot find a lot to get worked up about.

$500 000 loss Redleg! Not sure what a bad one would be?

So we cope a fine of $500 000 for having a dill around the place. Oh please

Spot on Bbo. Who believes that you are innocent if you are then fined $500 000

You are probably right lsTuesday 19th February 2013 is a black day but it only has 1 hour 51 mins left so who knows

cannot think of a single smart thing to say dc

I will believe that after I have read the report Redleg.Not that I think any of us will ever see it. Surprise me and tell me it is available. If it is not available why not. Until then we tanked pure and simple from where I and the football community sit

Well I have to say this may well be the saddest I have felt as a Demon's supporter in my life time and there has been some poor days. My wife said to me over Dinner God's knows why a sane man would continue, go and watch Uni Blacks they give you way more joy. She is probably right. I think I am one episode of incompetence by a MFC administration away from quitting. There is not much more left in me. I hope a long single malt and a banana for breakfast will do the trick.

which ever way you look at it Jnr. It comes back to that. There has seldom been a club in the AFL that has made such a [censored] up of things for so long. You just know there was a lot covered up in this sorry saga. lots of dirty linen has been kept in house. I just pray that we have now turned the corner.

No chook I am of the same opinion. After 6 years of crap I will believe it when I see it. We have a chance against the Tigers but no hope against the Roos at the dome of death.

Where was Vlad today? I suspect he did not want to have to answer why he made those pronouncments that we did not tank.

Have you considered it might have started at $1 million

Now that the dust has settled and I am calm I will make my final comment and bare with me I have said a few of these things in the past. Richmond game 2009, I went with a couple of Richmond mates, they said at numerous times during the game " you sure don't want to win this do you. I was devastated when we lost and could only agree with my mates that we tanked. I left the ground of that opinion and I still do to this day. Did we do any worse that a number of other teams namely Carlton for one. No in my opinion. Why in the end did we get done? Because we made it so obvious and shot our mouths off and left evidence that bought us undone in the end. I have maintained that we should fight to the end and go to court if necessary why didnt we? I suspect there was proof that we tanked ( which we as members will probably never see ) and we would have lost. I can think of no other reason. The MFC then had to negotiate the best deal. That deal we see before us, as others have said why a $500 000 fine if you are innocent? Again I can only assume the evidence was we tanked and this was the negotiated settlement. We will pay a fine but we are innocent. Weird but there you are. I think we have arrived at today because people at the club in 2009 tried to be way too clever and then were very ordinary at the delivery. What it shows to me is that winning is what the MFC should be about. That is what created the great club of the Mid 20th century. Win at all costs take no prisioners attitude. I hope that the club now sees this as the way forward. No more clever tricks, just win as many games as possible and then worry about draft positions at the end of August. The long term down side is we will be forever the tanking demons. But you cannot re write history. The MFC must now be a winning team and play finals football in a few years time. IMO there is no other way to try and remove the stain. Go Dees ( starting Friday ) .

1 hr 40 mins down the track I have come to the same conclusion billy.

Buy a membership all the money goes to the MFC

Yes I was fairly confident I would get nowhere mate. But hell i had to try. I will comment when I am calm and have a considered opinion.

I knew there would be some blood letting once this day came around. But guys can you all take a breath, make a cup of coffee, take the dog for a walk and log back on in an hour's time. please we all support the one club. Just calm down
