Its the positive thread Desi - what are you doing here?

I was looking for the smart a$$ thread that you constantly are in.

Re: The positive thread

Have you been to a game this year? And I dont mean watching it on tv..

Other commitments and the like have restricted me to about 6 or 7 games this year.

I will be going to our remaining games in Melb... Will you?

Tell me when Grant has played full forward?
Roughead being groomed at Williamstown? Well he is in for a real shock if Huddo retires at seasons end with only a few senior games under his belt this season.

Cordy has not played a game yet, not that I think the MC have erred in not playing him. I agree that he needs to string together more games at Willi.
There is a big gap between groming a player and a contigency which means actually getting games at senior level.
You might be happy that we continued to play Huddo without giving Roughy games, makes the transition next season even bigger for Roughy.

It's pretty obvious to all that the 3 mentioned (and Jones) aren't ready to play key roles yet. In the meantime we have played Hall & Hudson who both have struggled on previous years output, but are still valuable players within our team.

If Roughead had performed well when given his opportunity early this year I have no doubt he would be still in the team, but his body wasn't ready for the rigours of top level footy, but it would be hoped that after another full pre-season (hopefully no more surgery this year) he will become a permanent member of the team next season.... until that day Huddo will continue to battle away and Roughy will continue to develop at a lower level.

Are you questioning my loyalty? Come and see me when you have been to all games in Melbourne bar an average of 2 each season, for the last 28 years.
On a positive note: that kid Dahlhaus addresses a need on our forward line.

Sounds like you need to get a life Desi.

Re: The positive thread

I call crap Desi.

Roughead & Cordy were both drafted in 2008 and are being groomed to take over from Hudson. We have Minson as well.

Jones & Grant have been drafted in the past 4 years and are seen as tall forwards when Hall retires.

Given Grant's build you would hardly call him a tall forward. Isn't anywhere near strong enough to be classed as a key forward. Jones has improved this year but still has a fair way to go to reach the required standard of the better forwards going around. Cordy's development has been slow. Roughead certainly looks as if he will be a regular ruckman next year.

I have pretty much done that (and then some) so what's your point?

You were the guy who was sprouting in another thread that you weren't going to the last game so I thought you had chucked it in.

My point is although I am not going this weekend (even if I wanted to go, I could not due to other committments), anyhow who are you to question my loyalty. Get off your high horse!

If I am pi$$ed off with how we are performing and stated I am not going to the footy this weekend, I am being honest, I was not sprouting as you put it. If you had read my posts, I stated I would still be a member, thats not chucking it in.

Anyhow, best you ignore my posts as I will to yours. Your silly little questions to posters questioning their opinions is getting very tiring.
Try be littling someone else, you are good at that.

On a positive note: I hope Roughy is in for the remainder of the season.

Re: The positive thread

Considering that we're The Dogs, I suppose it's particularly apt that 'the positive thread' has turned shithouse.

That's positive!
Oh and thanks to whoever smacked Kennedy in the eye with a tennis ball. That's positive too

Re: The positive thread

Just caught up with the latest posts and was wondering if my computer had a cliche as the posts were starting to get very negative! C'mon guys, we all have opinions but let's not turn on one another like some fans! Bulldogs bark and bite, but never eat their young!

Surely no NicNac nor Kennedy (nor Kerr) is a positive???

Re: The positive thread

I'm flying to Vanuatu for two weeks on Sunday. That's pretty positive.
