Many Many thanks to all who went, watched and for the reports, I am sure makes us others feel well, except its the dejavu thing Hope its just a little different in 2013 Go Dees !!

Some past players, all do stupid things, some more stupid than others. But I think the players within the club see things differently to the way supporters see the same things, And the wish to socialise with each other despite the change in clubs, I see as a sign that the culture within the club is good and strong, just an opinion you might disagree of course it might also be the complete opposite to what think

I read the article on News.com.au It seems to me that the spirit amongst our playing group last year and this year is and will be strong. If past players still mix and are part of the club spirit I see that as a strong sign that things are very good amongst the players at demonland ! Besides its Holidays for the next week or so, not a problem here Merry Xmas and New Year to all !

as i am ! can fall into the canal !

Like most here far too optimistic about the coming year but after the last couple of years its far better than the football season, We have not lost badly for some time...its feels good, Agree lets hope it continues into the NAB cup and real season Cheers Go Dees !!

Cheers to all for the reports on training, Got to see one session last year might get to one this year,,, thanks again

My expectations are that we will progress, how far is like how long is a piece of string ? But we have moved on underweight, under performing, under achieving, and players un happy in the environment Viney, Toumpas, Dawes Rodan, all more positive than those that left, It will be a roller coaster for mine, some highs, some lows, if they all go in the same direction and none of the bad luck from last year, and with Norm Smith back at the G..... anything possible Go Dees !!!

I thought the goats had been sacrificed, morton, pettard and cook go dees !!!

Sorry leaving early for a single malt or a beer !!

As an old Government employee it is POETS day !

As an aside, now that Norm Smith is back at the G, maybe the curse has been lifted !

Well we all cried out for list changes, and we have some interesting additions pick 4 ?? I do agree its going to be an interesting forward line next year, Just who will go to allow these new comers ? and who will survive, Interesting Times Go Dees !!!

Talk about putting pressure on a lad, ridiculous thread, as bad as earlier Jack Watts threads, he cannot walk on water ! give him a break !

Wh not let the Football Department do their job ! They got us Mitch last year despite Freo, They got Jack V in the second round, despite all the negative vibes on the football boards, We still have not committed picks 3,4 or 13 despite rumours, Dawes Wellingham are not worth 3 or 4 if we can see that surely the FD can as well, If ou think you can do the carpentry better than the chippy why employ them in the first place ! Its their job ! Don't get overly excited about rumours ! Go Dees Come on 2013 !!

I agree, had an achilies problem never ever really gets better, you just tolerate it !

If a Morton can win a flag I can win Lotto !! Anything is possible Go Dees !!!

Morton was pretty useless at Richmond, a clean pre season with new coaches etc who nose ?

Yes, I can see it might be that way, sometimes my head works too slow ! I will reset the default button ! Cheers

Not sure this will be so, as I read the other day Mr McLean is still uncontracted, hope he likes the sun ! Go Dees !!!

It's sad, always optimistic this time of the year, whether we are in the finals or not ! Next year 10th equals bliss, hard to see where the improvement will come from, But I did not fore see the fall ! Go Dees !!!

There is no substitute for Bloody hard Work. ! "Get your culture right, get a great coaching and support group, and pick well. " But a couple of class footballers who believe the same or follow a senior player who does helps, Lets pick well, do the hard work in looking at the players potential and trust the recruiting and coaching staff !

Anyone that thinks he will not be around next year are deluding themselves, He does what the coach asks of him, this group of players play better when he and his aggression real or otherwise are on the field, Will he be around when we play finals again probably not, but he has improved unlike some who were about the same level 6-10 months ago, Go Dees a win again, another next week would be nice for Greeny

I want to go on record, I just don't want Cloke, not for peanuts, he will be far too bloody old when we are in contention, if we get there at all. get a couple of guys younger that will fit in !!

Am I being stupid or can I foresee the AFL taking away our compo picks for scumbag ! ??

Didn't get to watch or hear the game last night, from all these reports I think I at least had a win ,, We obviously need players with kicking skills, mature bodies who can play various positions My question then is how many of the bottom half of our list would get a game anywhere other than GWS or the Suns, not many I would say. So, are we playing players to increase their value to GWS/Suns. I bloody well hope so! Lets trade as many as we can of that half cos any one we get can't be much worse. seriously disappointed... sorry end of rant !
