"If i was an ordinary player wanting to keep my job at a club that may cease to exist - 1 weeks wage becomes an investment in my eyes."

Seems a perfectly realistic thing from my standpoint..well within reason Id say Graham

Let me guess, that last one was Yze magic? :P

Yeah I think it was mate. That thread got outta control in the end. I had a light-hearted crack about Daniher's triple supannuation bonanza and it all turned to custard after that.

There's a lot of people over there that plain and simple hate each others guts sadly.

I think the most salient point you have made in this thread is the one in your signature.

I'm surprised Yze_Magic didn't make a comment asking why Cameron Bruce didn't individually donate $10,000 to the MFC? :lol:

Either way the MFC players DID donate some money (they should be applauded for that) and for Brock McLean to donate $10,000 more of his OWN money shows a lot about his generous and loyal character. The bloke has made a few mistakes but overall I think he is a pure CHAMPION! I believe he must have Red & Blue pumping through his veins too!

I know people say its not a good thing to do but I would sign up Brock McLean as a Demon for the rest of his career and seriously consider him in the race to become a future MFC Captain just for his kindness and genorosity.

He's a pretty good player too... ;)

You've got my vote! If Brock wasn't out for the season with injury i'd say the coaches would've put him straight in, but as it is i think he needs a full season just in the leadership group.

Well done Brock! No point trying to cynical about his motives, just accept it for what it is, $10,000 from a passionate supporter. Whether he can afford it or not, $10K is a hell of a lot of money from someone who is not obligated, for any cause.

exactly. should also be noted that whilst a.f.l players get paid very well, they also have a short amount of time to earn the money they do unless they have other career paths, which many don't. brilliant gesture from brock.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
