Pates

I'm shaking my head at these comments of people calling him soft. He went in hard many times vs Geelong and he showed some very good inside work which is totally against what he is known for. There is nothing about him that reminds me of Cale Morton. He's showed some real confidence in the last few games, and I expect that confidence to grow.

Great work 45, I'm all for putting her on the D-land banner on their match day.

Perhaps this is the real reason behind the 100% Demon campaign. I'm already donating, if we get Clarkson I'll double it.

So the mighty Reds are actually staking their claim this year, so many times over the last 4-5 years i've thought "maybe we'll actually challenge for the premiership" and now we're looking the goods. Winning 2-3 over Man City when they've got the deepest pockets in the sport at their home AND after being 2-0 down is an awesome result and i really think the player have the belief, the key will be whether they can maintain this over the whole season and the games against the like of Chelski, Arsenal, and Man U must yeild points. Torres you are a star!

Tell ya what mate, that is an excellent point. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be grateful for them allowing us to take the reciepts every year, but the fact is they don't need that extra money, it's a great PR thing for them to be shown as giving a leg up to a struggling club, and as you stated, they get another match at the MCG. Gary's comments shouldn't be taken litterally, he was showing the passion he has inside for the MFC, and when you're a passionate Dees fan, hating the Pies and laughing at the hole they've dug for themselves this past week comes with that. Perhaps in hindsight not the smartest comments, but funny none the less!

Brent Grgic (spelling?) looked very good for a while then went to crap. I was soooo glad when Geelong picked him up, i believe we even got Bizzell in that deal.
