Dude it looked like he broke his neck!

Don't look at the fixture, the future is grim. Tense up, we aint got shi t. But seriously, we are way too boundry line centric these days. Sick of seeing players in board free and ignored. It's like the centre corridor is seen as a bad thing these days. We were once callled the "transition kings" and that was from coast to coast flashy play. We aint the kings of anything anymore. Well kings of frustration comes to mind. I can not take sollace in the fact that we shown more fight this week. It means nothing! We were playing an equally sucky team as us and we had something to fight for. Make no mistake about it- Doggies won't make top 8 this year, if we played a final contender we would have been belted like the last few weeks. What a sad state of affairs. All we can hang our hats on now is sshowing a little fight. Can't even do that for 4 quarters. I don't know what hurts more- the fact we can't fight out a match for 100% of the game or the fact that we have so many spuds on our list with sub-par disposal we are a rabble. Probably the latter. It sucks to be us!!

Lol wow that even made me blush. Are you drunk wyl?

Talk about accepting mediocrity.

Looks like Titan uses high horses for things other than polo. Stay out of it muppet- I wasn't generalizing. Joe's had this coming as all he has done in his short demonland posting career is talk down to all and sundrie.

Watching Eagles V Hawks, love the intensity. Few observations- -Watts is a far better player than Nik Nat -Darling is a gun and the Dees along with every other club bar Eagles missed out! - Bruce's woeful disposal was not a problem that was Demon exclusive - West Coast to win the flag this year. Thank you

Didn't Morton get signed for two more seasons last season? Joy. Definitely not one for the "terrific list management" thread..

I've never had a problem mixing with the common man Joe, I'm down to earth and I get nothing but respect from my fellow cretins. Us common folk can be civilized too Joe, may I suggest perhaps it is you that rub people the wrong way and perhaps your problem that you don't get respect. I feel you may put people off-side with your elitist attitude and your bowler hat and monocle?

I don't see to many similarities between Cyril and Jurrah. They are both quick and can kick a goal- that's about it. Jurrah is comparable only to Jurrah. Like has been stated- if he can get the defensive side of his game up to scratch he will be a franchise player in the realms of Buddy!

Joe felt uncomfortable being amoungst the common man- their loud mouths and unwashed ways was a turn off. Joe swifty returned to the safety of the MCC, where his barret wearing friends were eating watercrest sandwhiches and proclaiming "nice goal number 11" followed up by a subdued round of applause and a sip of his English Breakfast twinnings.

Lol, which other clubs consider our fans the laughing stock of the competition? I think you're making stuff up to be on the other side of an argument again, so not like you Dr Who.

Agreed. Although don't mind Tappy staying as we need more games into him and he isn't going to do a little nugget in his pants when the ball comes near him. We need more players like this. I forgot to mention Davey. How is this guy getting games? Am I watching a different game? Getting a little sick of this conservative approach to match selection. Hey, MFC selection committee- It is broken, fix it!

I know- we've been sticking with this club ever since we have been old enough to care about football, I'm finding the constant talking a little embarrassing. There's one way to make sure people don't lose interest. It's called winning mate!

On structure- how long does it take to learn that you have to stand in a specific area of the ground and guard it for god's sake?

I don't get it. That is the lamest bench I think I've ever seen. Why does the squib Morton keep getting a go. Alright MFC, I get it- he was pick 4 and you must exaust all efforts before you make a call, but I can tell you something that I and everyone else knows it- even if they won't admit it. He won't make it. He won't make it for the home and away season and certainly not in the rough and tumble world of finals. We are waisting games on this kid and it is frustrating me to no end! Macdonald and Dunn don't belong in the team either. Sellar looks like a stop gap at best. We play all these guys and yet Martin gets dropped. Martin has shown a lot more than any of these guys. Why does Morton keep getting chances and yet Martin is dropped when Casey has a bye FFS! Way to develop him you spuds! Don't even get me started on the Couch situation. Why promote someone you have no intent on playing. Give Fitzy a run too! This match selection panel have cob webs in their heads. Bloody sick of it!

I hope Fitzy gets a run, maybe Morton can be the sub, in a damage limitation kind of way. I'm not optimistic this week boys. Can't see it happening- as much as I would like to. And yes, we do miss $ully. Our midfield is very vanilla without him!

that is the "naughty room" that Deevoted was alluding to I believe..

Meanwhile the Muslims won't get a look in as these rooms will be filled with dees supporters no doubt..

How bad would we be right now if we didn't get him? It actually terrifies me thinking about it! FWIW I don't want to see him moved to the ruck, we need a big forward damn it and it appears we may have found it!

Sadly I've had more enjoyment out of reading this thread than I did last Saturday lol!

Aim higher son, I hear Tingay wants back!

But who do you think sets the tone? It's the seniors- they set it through their elite compliance, elite work ethic, elite preperation (thanks mcqueen) and the rest of the team follows their lead because at the end of the day it's the players that battle together every weekend. They are the comrades in the trenches- coaches and support staff whilst integral to a degreee do not have the same influence on the players as their peers do. Culture isn't in the wall paper or in the training facilities, it's in the attitude of the playing group and the seniors are the trend setters, and they instill these traits on the youngsters and so continues the culture circle. Look at our seniors if you need an example. We have sooks who aren't prepared to put in on the field, like to have a drink on the weekend and crash cars and do runners. Great role models to set a great culture. The rot always starts at the head, and the playing group is the fish!

We are crying out for pace, my god we are slow. Any tiger got a run on and we could not catch! I hate to say it but it looks like Bennell could be a bust. Doesn't get involved enough and I think we be a de-list. Blease I'm prepared to give more time but unless he can turn it around I don't know what the future holds for him. We need a small forward desperately! I get jealous when I see Betts and Garlett playing for the Blues, give us one you greedy bastards! We have Davey who isn't up to it anymore and we can't afford to carry the pasenger anymore and Lawrence who isn't even cracking the Casey firsts and no one else. MUST draft a zippy small with defensive pressure next draft. They really round off a potent forward line!

How do we tank against GWS? I know we suck right now, but if we lose to them we are dead.

Really need to find out the terms of this contract we have with him. If us having to take him is binding, then it is no risk to them at all. They can bid on him knowing full well that they won't end up with him and they can still get whoever they want with their first pick, screwing us in the process.
