How do you not understand it?

Don Argus was born in Bundaberg.

He is a Lions supporter.

He is handing over to Jac Nasser.

Nasser is a demons' supporter.

Not rocket science.

I think the reporter got it the wrong way around? Don Argus is a Demon...

"MELBOURNE WARNED

The AFL has privately warned the Melbourne Football Club to avoid a damaging confrontation over the future of its chairman Paul Gardner and the current board, reports The Age. While a series of powerful Melbourne supporters including BHP chairman Don Argus, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel and Demons Brownlow medallist Jim Stynes have been courted to replace the embattled Gardner, it is believed that the AFL and the Melbourne Cricket Club have privately warned the Demons that a bloody battle would only further hurt the club's reputation."

It'd be nice if they were BOTH Demons...

Still though, a fairly irrelevant sentence in a business article one would think?!

Argus was born in QLD, so maybe the journalist made an assumption...?

Either way MFC should have invited both of them to the Debt Demolition function at the MCC Members Dining room last night as maybe both would have had some cash to give to the club as each has something to celebrate!

"Am I the only one confused by this? "

I'm partcularly confused by posts no. 3 to 20.

I don't know who Argus supports, but he is a hockey freak, playing seniors hockey till he was quite old, and heavily involved in the Camberwell hockey club. So perhaps that's why he didn't make BHP sponsor Melbournefc. But Jack Nasser should, now he's got the Ford noose off his neck. It'd be peanuts for BHP to throw a billion or two at the MFC, . Perhaps Chris Judd could even oversee BHP's environmental behaviour for a small cost!

Arthur Dent's Two Million years worth of compound interest would certainly help the Club no end!

To those not in the know it was how the great Planet Magrathea was Financed

See Above: Adams, Douglas. Hehe.

Some say Bundy is at the end of the galaxy. Were they drinking rum in the bar by any chance?

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
