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.

    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) ?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
