you can bag them all you like but they had a plan and stuck to it and lucky we got Hardwick or we would been stuffed for another 5 years.

The Dees are so far in front of us at the minute its not funny.

Those meaningless games that they so innocently "Lost" were very smart acts from a very a smart club.

Anyone see Jack Watts in the paper. 1 year in the system and his body is bigger than most of our players...lol

Meh.

I remember not so long ago they lost a first quarter to Geelong with the score something like 60-0.

Good at tanking yes. Not there yet.

They're welcome to the attention MT.
Volvo is a new sponsor of theirs. I'm not sure why that makes me laugh. Maybe because I can imagine Dee supporters with their thermos, blanket across their knees and barely being able to see over the steering wheel oblivious to what is going around them  ;D.

I feel we are better placed mainly because of our first 2 picks whilst Martin adds a lot of class to our mid section and yes the Ds got a couple of fantastic young players, we got Griffiths. As far as forward lines go, we are in a better position. Ben Griffiths is a very important player for us. If he turns out ok, then we should have a better side than Melbourne.

I wouldn't expect to see griffiths playing for Ricmond in 2010 Ramps. I believe the shoulder surgery he had is a reconstruction which means that he probably wont be playing footy until around may/june.

surely we will improve in 2010..In 2009 we had a coaching staff who appeared to have lost the plot,a whole stack of gun players who were injured for large parts of the season(foley,Richo,cotch,).
Things can only improve ..how much worse than 2009 can things get

It wasn't a full reco in the end, just a clean up

I think we will finish between 12th and 14th.
And with luck the Pies and Blues below that.
But I think the Blue's won't be there so place in the Dee's.

Without big noting myself - I know a bit about shoulder problems having had to give up cricket when I was in my mid 20's because of a stuffed shoulder.

 I was speaking to young Ben at Club 80.  ;D (very impressive kid by the way  :thumbsup)

Just to confirm again.

It was definitely only a clean up and the reports from the surgeon after was that his shoulder wasn't as bad as first thought, hence the clean up as opposed to a full reco.

Dees do not have the midfield yet. Our midfield is superior. Believe should finish on top of them. Disgraceful if don't
