Demoneyes

So, I reckon finals will be in 2 years...and premiership window will open in 3-4 years. So that would take him to 27-28, not 52.

Nice maths. And excellent optimism!

BTW. For all you trolls and ignorami (eg Moonshadow) that obviously know little of the world of a gourmet like myself I am presently cooking a romantic meal for myself and my beloved - freekah pilaf.

I suppose there is rice in it. Peasant food to me. Enjoying a lovely rib-eye with scallop and prawn sauce. Followed by the obligatory bottle or 2 of McClaren Vale red!

I listened to a brief radio interview with Danger just before the GF. He talked about how envious he was of the competing players and that playing in a GF was the ultimate aim of all footballers.

Now, given that, could someone explain WTF he would even consider coming to MFC.

Oh hang on ... maybe he reckons he can play on until he is about 52.

Come on BBO we are on the way up!

Got rid of mine (hangover) this morning with a beer and a 250gm block of chocolate

I wouldn't trade Jake Spencer for Conca.

I don't want either of them!

Besides we don't actually have pick 3 yet so it is hypothetical (although it's supposed to be a given). Will stand by pick 2, toump and draft positional changes

Game is over.. roll on 2015

Word has it that clubs have agreed but still waiting on Frawley compo pick. Same source has 3 from 3 so I'm a little excited

Have agreed to?

Absolutely this goes for all teams... I think free agency will damage the game & give top clubs a powerful tool to get talent & maintain their success ... Do we all want to see the same teams compete for a flag each year?

Remember there are18 teams in this so called competition ... Someone has to finish last.... So the system the afl implement to save the competition in the mid 80s appears to be coming apart ?

You either have an equalisation system or you don't

Maybe, but we just have to be smarter to be one of the top clubs. I think Roos and Jackson are getting us there. The rest will follow naturally. Look at Hawks 18 years ago......

First time poster, long time lurker but wanted to share what I have heard

Pick 2 to Richmond for Pick 10 and Conca to MFC.

Welcome gate 5! Although the above have seem to have shot you down in flames don't be afraid to post again. We can always use an extra discussion point as well as a bit of mirth and jocularity!

Well I didn't see the segment. If it was Barrett, as much as we all hate him, he does seem to have reasonable sources from this club (first to break Hogan's injury, and Clark's comeback) so wouldn't surprise me if we are going to do it. I hope its true.

It was Damo. I didn't see it though. My mate is still adamant that what he has heard is as good as any info he has had. I am reluctant to get excited by the prospect as there is much water to flow under the bridge yet.

Sounds excellent to me.

The question is though, are you still drunk?

Fully sober thanks E.T. Just a bit of a headache.

Apparently he has nominated the Cats as his choice of club. What will we get?

Reasonable. Same source gave he heads up on Roos last year. He did stuff up on our pick 2 last year though. Doesn't mean they are done deals but it is what is being talked about.

Will go out on a limb here with what has been said and what I have heard as late as this morning.

Dangerfield to Dees for pick 2 + Toumpas plus exchange of later picks

Shiel to Dees for pick 3 + possible player or exchange of later picks

And thats all folks!

Crows will want picks 2&3

Demons want Dangerfield and Crows pick 11 & pick 48

Sounds good to me

Post of 2 halves there spirit. So we are not sure what Crows want but we know what we want? Would prefer 3 plus Toumpas instead of giving away 2 as well

I'm over the breakfast menu discussion. Bananas, fruit ...... muesli FFS! You blokes need to get onto a real Aussie mans breakfast.

Tomatoes on toast - with cheese of course and lots of pepper.

It's made me the man I am.

With poached eggs, avocado and jalapenos!

Bout time somebody expressed what real breakfast is about,maybe an egg and some bacon with the martoes and toast.

Somehow this page up till now has been controlled by health nutters,they all want to live past 90{like OD} .

Live for today boys,eat real food and die happy{and fat}

day 4 month anniversary.

Of course they do. May have a slight chance of seeing a Dees flag by then!

Yes we have 6 months of hope and optimism. Hopefully not all dashed in Round 1 again. Go Dees

Yeah was in the September club with croc media last night at the G... had a chat to him .. basically said no chance but could have been brushing me off as id had a few!! Was nice enought to have a phot with me though!! Haha... in an interesting sub plot.. a well known news reporter (that is a D's man) reckons we will definitely have one of him or Jeremy Cameron..interesting.

I also think i signed Dean Cox for $150 a game at my local club... not sure he with remember that though...

Seeing you all juiced up probably made him think he was back in Hindley st!

Nah.... he is not coming... horses mouth.

Hope that horse wasn't Lankan Rupee? Told me he was going to bolt in!

Well said, but with one hell of a headache!

Went to a bbq with probably 15 people in attendance. People were watching but not getting overly involved, we spent the 3rd quarter outside chatting amongst ourselves. I don't know, I guess I feel a little over footy at the moment.

Am hearing you. Left my function during the 2nd quarter (didn't help that I couldn't walk or talk!).

I'm not happy that the hawks won so easily. Would have been great if it was a close game or is Swans had won.

You guys are a bunch of wingers. It's the grand final.

I hated that Hawthorn won, but was blown away by how good they were.

They had winners all over the ground. Everyone played there role.

I bet most of you dont turn up to etihad when we play.

Of course not! Ground is a blight on the league. Would prefer to watch footy at Dederang!

Weren't you going to be away from a computer today?

I have been. Slept for nearly 2 hours during the GF!

Not much of a coffee drinker and hate COLA. Prefer a nice sarsparilla
