Congrats to all at the Mfc

As the year comes to a close, I would like congratulate the footy dept, admin staff and management at the Mfc for the great job they have done.

Some highlights for me have been:

- the sensitive but decisive manner in which players have been deleted off the list...not an easy task considering the calibre and popularity of some of the players (Robbo, Whelan, Wheats)....and TJ before that

- the master stroke of creating places for pick 34 and 50...none of us posters tipped they would delist Newton and Meesen and rookie them to my knowledge!

- honouring our word and redrafting Newton and Meesen, and persevering with Danny Hughes

- Outstanding drafting by BP - Jurrah was a ripper, Jetta and Bennell also have shown plenty.

- Excellent publicity work, especially a lot of favourable press in the past few months. There have been times lately when a Dees story appears in one of the papers every day!

- The outstanding writings of Martin Flanagan in The Age

-The observance of the importance of the history of the club, like yesterdays jumper ceremony with Barass, Dixon and Neita

- and I can't wait for our games against Carlton in the future....watching us catch up to them and then go past them to a flag first....CJ, Brock, Warnock and Juddy are now our greatest rivals!

So a hearty thanks and Merry Christmas to all the good people working for the club.

 

Yes, good post ravi. I congratulate the club too. Fine effort.

Where is the "hands clapping emoticon" when you need it ?

Yeah good post, it's been a nightmare of a year and the club has handled it very, very well.

 

2008 was the worst year of following footy I've known (with, interestingly, the best day I've enjoyed at the footy, vs Freo) .

2009 has been magic in comparison. I was glued to the computer screen watching everything right up until the last round, and was satisfied with what I've seen. In some cases MORE than satisfied.

We're enjoying a unity (albeit a small one) that I've not seen in my time following the dees, and I've never been more excited, or proud to have gotten in on the bottom floor...

Great thread, and great sentiment. Well done to everyone working at the dees.

2008 was a waste of time, in the end i couldn't handle going each week to see us get flogged, but i still went and supported the mighty demons, Jimmy,Chris Connoly, Schwaby, they turned this club around so much in the space of a year and ahalf, -casey deal, debt demolition, and showing they have the faith in Dean Bailey to coach when we were getting pumped week in week out,

Its just a matter of time before we returning to the top 8, not just on the field but also off it.

And for the record.... That Freo Game is the best spectacle i have ever seen, - the second half any way!!!!

Unfortunately, not transferrable. Save those pennies mate. It could be well worth the investment.

Buggar! I also read that you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, so you can't even post it here on Demonland to tell others of the experience. <_<

Oh well a great idea and i hope the sell heaps!

This is definitely something that I think a heap of supporters will be really interested in.

I know the club has been determined to create a package that really makes regular supporters feel like they are a part of the 'inner sanctum', without making the costs completely out of reach.

I think this is a great compromise. $200 puts it in reach of most supporters who would be keen, whilst also keeping it slightly exclusive.

Cam Schwab would be absolutely fantastic to listen to, and as the games are spread throughout the season, it would be great to hear about the development of players and tactics as the season unfolds.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
