Many of you may have seen this before, if not I suggest you do as it certainly gave me a lift.

I hope our new CEO is the best we have had. Since leaving us 10 years ago i believe Schwabb is a much wiser man. T

The New Melbourne Journey Begins.

Wow, he if he can run the club as well as he makes speaches we'll be more powerful than Collingwood in 3 years time!

He used the buzz word, UNITY. We have to be united in and pulling in one direction or we will not survive, simple as that.

I was at this lunch and seriously fought the tears back when he was talking about Northey and the players running around

I remember that Elimination final well. The noise and colour when Melbourne ran out of the rooms both before & After they broke the Banner was incredable. I'm glad Schwabb recalls it similiar to me. Shows us he wants to see it again....

Nevertheless, actions speak louder than words! B)

Yes it was quite an inspiring speech.

It made me feel quite excited about the future of the Melbourne Demons.

Exactly but i don't think Cameron is just Going to sit around. He is a mover.

Actions speak louder than words indeed. I remember Gardiner making a similar speech, talking about how it made him sick to the gut that we hadn't won a flag in 40 years and that it was partly his duty and the players etc. to bring it back where it belonged. We all know how that ended up.

The only difference is though that Gardiner rarely spoke directly from the heart, instead mostly from a sheet of paper. Schwabb's was from the heart. You can tell. But, it also makes me worry. I think his dedication stems from a knowing of how badly in shape the club is. He's emotional because he knows we're on the brink of non-existence.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
