Dee-Nee

Where are you?

I can't see anything there about when ticket sales open for this game. Have I missed something?

Ticketek has MCC members ticketing opening at 9AM tomorrow (Tuesday 13) but I've heard nothing from the MCC or MFC.

Does anyone have any more information?

I was booking tickets for 3 MCC members plus 2 guests for the Saturday game.

The new (again) system wanted  names and phone numbers for all applicants.

By the time I had found and entered the phone numbers my session my timed out out, 

Crazy.

The AFL website has a headline "Star Dee Dumped".

And they're talking about Melksham!

Have far down the list is he when you talk about Dee Stars?

Kozzie and Dogga - what great picks!

Brayshaw - fumble and turnover

When asked "Why aren't aren't you guys up at the snow?" while at a game I like to reply "We don't ski domestic!"

I'm hearing talk that the venue for the game next week may be changed. To Marvel maybe?

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I see Dees are $1.02 to win!

Did anyone watch The Front Bar last night?

Happy 85th birthday Ron Barassi!

I haven't seen him or heard of him for quite a while.

Does anyone know how he's travelling?

What happened to all of last year's scarves?

I couldn't get to my local collection point and they quickly ran out anyway apparently.

Does the club have them stored? 

I'd like to get one, as do some Demon mates.

Blair only played a dozen games for Melbourne in 1969 after crossing from Richmond. I think his career was curtailed by bad knees.

He was a short, chunky rover and sticks in my memory for a couple of reasons.

He kicked goals from difficult angles using the banana kick. If he didn't invent the banana kick, he was certainly the first to use it consistently in the 60's.  

Blair was also a useful cricketer, bowling left arm wrist spin for Victoria. I remember him in a last wicket stand with Alan "Froggy" Thomson. Both of them couldn't bat but they put together a good and entertaining partnership somehow.

A fellow long time Demon supporter told me Hassa turned 80 on Wednesday. 

What a great player he was! Premiership player, club captain, state representative, member of The Galahs and MFC team of the century.

Then, later in his career, after success as a playing coach in the West he returned to the club in administration.

As an aside, why did our players go to WA? Big Bob Johnson and dashing half back also left us with plenty of games left in them, as did Hassa. Were we so arrogant in those days we'd say "we don't need you, we'll win without you?"

Does anyone remember Hassa's goal from the boundary at Glenferrie Oval to put Hawthorn out of the 4? A Hawthorn mate still claims it was a point!

Many happy returns Hassa!

Max may well get the lion's share of the hit outs like last week. But the opposition soon starts roving to him and get the clearances.

Our mid fielders and Max need to adjust to this to take advantage of his hit out domination.

May has only played about 8 for us. This was his first poor one. He's good. Forgive him one bad one.

Nibbler played his best ever quarter for us. Disappeared after that though.

I seem to remember he donated $5,000 in the drive to help get the club out of financial trouble.

Then he went to Carlton. Erratic behaviour.

What is it with the WCE? Ex players in trouble so frequently.

... and now Laidley

how many ads?
Wilson, always held the ball too long
Alan Johnson, terrific player
Duursma pretty good
Jimmy shows his talent
Strawbs no good even before injured
why did we clear Spalding to Carlton?

Back to The Ox and Marko, I see The Rothfield family end up with an 11% ownership of the company controlling SEN.

Now who is replacing the Run Home Team?

Talking through your pocket dee-eee?

Viney can not be considered a Grade A player as he has no right side and the opposition now exploits this, leaving him with nowhere to go except straight into a tackle. I can't remember a left footer with no right side ever developing one. He seems to be doomed to be a limitted player. Use him as a tagger.

If we thought he was so good, why were we happy to unload him to Richmond?

I have nothing but respect for Jack and his perserverance. But what does he offer? No speed, no size, not in and under. I can't see where he fits in. 

Garland is no star, but what chance did he have against Daniher last week? He must have had a 2 foot reach advantage on Col. Roos didn't have a plan B and so its Garlands fault Daniher dominated. Frost out, Frost in. Confidence is starting to wain.
