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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
