Questions for CC - Interstate Demonlanders Especially



Recommended Posts

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) ?

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188
