Excuse me, you think that was bad.

There were a number of posters spending all their time on here gloating about 'how they got Pick 11 right because BP went for best available over a mediocre tall.' Narcissistic losers...

Oh, wait a sec...

Nevermind.

Narcissistic losers..?

I'll have you know I'm a mild sociopath, thankyou very much.

    I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago stating that there was a big announcement pending, but didn't know any more than that (and people tore me a new ass because I couldn't give them anymore!). Since then, we have announced the China match against the Lions, as well as the Volvo sponsorship. Thought my mail might have been one of those 2 things (as I think they are both great news for the Club), so if it's bigger than that, it'll be interesting to see what it is.

    I thought what you posted might have been the trip by Jim & Liam to Yuendumu.

    Nah HT, was going to be a lot bigger announcement than that, maybe next week will give us more of an idea. Shame I can't come out and say "I told you so!!", but like the post J-Riv posted, just giving everyone the heads up that stuff if happening.

    I can't remember the last time the MFC has been in the press as much as this in the past couple of months. Obviously the draft had a big part in that, but new sponsorship deals, exhibition matches o/s, and potentially something next week too. We have won the past 2 spoons right??!! What will it be like when we start winning games and then the flag? Other clubs will hate us over the next 3 years!

    I know a couple of guys with good connections through the MCC but they dont know exactly whats happening. Just whispers of a big announcement. Now Greg Dehnam says there's a big announcement. Hmm the suspense is killing me haha.

    Bailey contract extension would be my guess, but I would do that on the eve of next season or during it not now.

    What else could clarify big? I didn't want to speculate but I couldn't help myself.

    Maybe Jim handing over the presidency - not saying he should or he needs to but he might want to.

    Football department staff seem in order.

    Playing list seems settled. Macdonald, Meesen, Newton look set to be the final 3 on our lists. No doubt we will attempt to create a good deal of interest in revealing the numbers to our new players - but I don't think that will make much of a headline.

    Training venue - Casey deal looks good and can't see much changing their, maybe something to do with the rectangular stadium and everything to do with that, or even some other venue.

    Leadership - McDonald has been conformed as 2010 captain has he not? The rest of the leadership group would make a story but nothing amazing.

    Finances - AFL and MCC deals seem to be appropriate. I'd love to sign another big/good sponsor.

    I'd put my money on Bailey getting an extension and the release of the 2009 Demons Xmas Video - that'd be HUGE!

    I'm not sure what position the club's finances are in either, but it could be some announcement that the club is finally back in the black...

    Baileys extension Is hardly BIG news. I'm going to take a stab In the dark and say an elite training facility within the mcg when the southern stand gets done.

    Or maybe a new president but lets hope that isnt the case. Or maybe Its Diamond Joe wants to give us a shitload of cash lol :)

    I suppose Greg Denham would see a 2 or 3 year contract extension for Bailey as "big" news. Whatever it is, it now has me intrigued.

    There has already been talk of this before. However, no official announcement. Although it's not a bad stab.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
