old dee

Perhaps MM does not like him?

I share similar sentiments bb However lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. WE have thoughts similar things in the past which amounted to nil come March. Please remember it is December 10th!

I agree injuries like we had in 2012 would turn them quickly into a bottom 4 side

Good things come to those who wait! I have deen hanging on that for a long time. God i hope the start is 2013. Spent Saturday evening with a hord of Tigers. I am so over losing to them. Then I am over losing to every one

yes PaulRB You have to remember we are coming from a very long way back. We have in effect add 2 good players, 3 average players , three good kids and a number of retreads. That will hopefully be repeated over the next three years and then we might have a side capable of beating the top four sides.

Are you sure! almost akin to saving the dees will be better next year. We all hope but is that the reality?

I was out at a friends place on Saturday with a group of eight people. Three guys had Diesel work cars all three were faced with using their wives petrol cars this week. One is going from a Landcruiser to a Yaris The only up side I could see was they all barrack for the Tigers But to answer your question Yes it is the great Bananas shortage of 2012

On that mate we are in 100% agreement. Oh and probably most of the rest as well hoopla. Go dees

I agree wyl I did not comment up till now because there have been enough negatives around in 2012. However Even though I lived through some of that glorious history I am over the preoccupation with it. In between there has been 40 years of crap. Lets concentrate on future glory's.

At the risk of offending you hooplaHave you read any of my posts over the last 6 months? I have never said the following - That any player was told not to try - That we should be punished - That we did any more or less than Carlton or a number of other clubs. However what I have said and will continue to say is that the FD in 2009 and particularly the Richmond game made every effort to not win that day. Now you can give it any name you like but that is the situation IMO. What annoys me is the number of Dees supporters that are in denial on this subject. Oh and just a parting shot hoopla Youth does not necessarily make you a genius any more than the ageing process make you a fool.

Yes every thing I wish we were!

as DemonDing says how hard can it be Sydney and Eseendon have had Red that looks Red for years. I truely do not understand the problem Dee-luded

yes it is funny how both teams have "RED" and have never changed it and always looks red. It beggars belief the number of attempts we have had on this subject.

There is no good reason to hate the mighty Hawks. They are everything the MFC should aspire to be. Wealthy, Powerful, take no prisoners , win at all costs, regular finals participants and GF winners.

Oh my god don't tell me we have final got a red instead of pink or maroon. If the 2013 scarf follows suit I might finally be able to retire my 2010 version. I cannot understand how hard it has been for the MFC to get the colour Red correct.

Sounds fine to me Macca. I have always wanted to try my eyeball on one of those scanners. Seriously I don't mind the magazine I just wondered at the cost and necessity in the 21st century. Seems lots of people are still in love with it.

They did the draft every six months. Put marbles numbered 1 to 182 in a barrel these numbers represented your birth date. drew out the numbers to account for approx the number of people they needed. If you birth date / number came out you were drafted Did it again six months later with 183 to 365 First time Australia had been on the losing side. All for nothing but that is another story

I remember it well stingrays My number did not come out thank god. I lost two friends one I worked with and another was a brother of a friend. I also have a friend that started down the booze course as a result. Took him 25 years to recover. Going well now thank god. Wars are crap no matter the reason. Yes you are right people who were not around have little understanding

Well the replies have been interesting I do like some of the elements. My main motivation was saying money. Obviously there is still a large number out there who like a hard copy.

Oh No

15 years is probably our time frame to be powerful again. the vital element IMO is to start winning games We need progress not the wandering in the wilderness that the last 6 years as produced

Letter being type as we speak. Consider it done diesel

Will not happen mate. I think you will find it is against the regulations the MCC operates under. The big mistake the MFC made was years ago not buying the Pub next to the Now Hilton. Was going for very little. But like a lot at the MFC that is ancient history

Might buy a tigers membership if that gets me in. Good spot for after the G games Can you imagine fronting up with your red and blue scarf after we thrash them next year!

I wonder how much this costs to send to 37000 members? Honestly I would be happy with an email or the info on the web site. Now don't accuse me of being negative but do we need a book like this sent to us via snail mail? Last century method of communication is what I see. I would rather the club spend the money on the FD or somewhere else I will still be a member wether this book comes or not
