I'm going to a function next week where MFC football manager Chris Connolly is the guest speaker - normally procedure is a speech followed by a question & answers session.

Now if anybody lives interstate (Not Victoria) or overseas and would like to ask Chris a question ... I would be happy to do it on their behalf. I will post the answer back on Demonland ... baring in mind I can't guarantee how many questions he will answer.

Sorry I have to say this - please show some common sense with the questions

There is obviously some questions I cant ask Chris ... and I think we can all work them out. ;) Please keep them constructive.

Importantly please note the function is the 18th November so if you do want to ask a question I would get it in early.

    Hmmm... well, lets start with the obvious.

    Mitch Thorp - how are his injuries, how is his attitude, how is he getting along with others at training?

    Are there any more delistings being considered?

    Is the club now confident enough in it's overall talent base to start taking risks on injured kids (such as Ben Griffiths, Callum Bartlett)

    Is there a longer term plan for managing the GC/WS drafts - is the depth back again next year? How's the father-son (Jack Viney) situation looking?

    Can he put in a good word for me with the ridiculously pretty redhead girl from corporate?

    Obviously not all of these questions are obligatory ;)

    Not sure if this is a question for CC or someone else but I'd be interested to know how big a response there has been to the Red and Blue foundation. Also what impact that it has had (so far) with Player development/Facility development and on our players.

    Also are there any other clubs that we are modelling certain aspects of our player development on and who do we consider to be at the same stage as us with respect to list and premiership window.

    These are probably boring/generic questions, oh well.

    you may not ask this as Im a Victorian ( how that should be excluded is interesting )....as surely all questions irrespective of source ought to be considered on their merits..but alas..I'll gamble on.

    Ask , if you would , How far away is the Red and Blue Print from becoming black and white ...i.e,,,when will it exist in writing for all members to peruse?

    thankyou

    Belzebub, I don't even understand your question..

    BB59 wants Bailey and Co to present a written plan for all(?) aspects of the footy club, for: the future / the build up to our next premiership, and for it to be made public.

    Belzebub, I don't even understand your question..

    Being the die-hard fan Im sure you are BBB you'll of course be aware that the much touted new business model, plan for success for the MFC ( blueprint for growth and sustained financial stability ) has been dubbed the "Red & Blueprint" by CEO cameron Scwabb. When things manifest themselves intoprint they are deemed to be in Black and White. So as Demon Dan suggests to you..the question refers to when are we, as members going to see the "Plan" in writing..so we can read it!!

    For the upcoming draft it is widely speculated that our first two picks (1&2) will be used for Tom Scully & Jack Trengove. Chris, for our other picks 11 & 18, will they simply be used for "best available" picks, or will there be some consideration for one of/or both pick(s) be used on a "KP player" (ie KPF) ?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
