Mostly talked about a conference he's been attending. How sports reach their fan communities and where it is going in the future. Live vs delayed telecast. That sort of thing.

Brief mention of Aussie and how the club is helping him.

They asked who we're wanting to draft, which he deflected basically by saying that BP hasn't told him yet but he'll be happy to act very wise and knowing after the event.

That's pretty much it.

Summary? At work.

Very little of content, said that BP didnt give him a look into what we were drafting, talked about him being at heaps of drafts, discussion about more footy games being Free to air and some very immaterial discussion about the conference up on the goldie at the moment.

You missed nothing.

All he got from BP was a wink and a nod.

- He spoke about how good the conference was up on the Gold Coast, featuring people from the EPL and the NFL.

- All about how sports engage with the fans and supporters.

- We are leading the push into social media (I added this one myself).

You can all partly thank me for pushing twitter so hard to Schwabby & Russian, back when it was only the realm of geeks & I still had to explain to normal people what it was.

- Football should be televised live.

- Consuming the game at home is changing - bigscreen tv, internet and communicating with their mates elsewhere about the game.

- Matthew Wonaeamirri's tragic death.

- Aussie now has more responsibility on his shoulders as his father was a community leader.

- club is doing its best to support him through this.

- Ian Flack flew up north with Aussie as support.

- Cam's 25th draft.

- BP is an old fashioned recruiter that doesn't give much away, occasionally just a nod & a wink.

- Gave away nothing more.

You mean normal people are now using Twitter? Wow! and, E25 "Let the Twitter out". It's all the work of the Demon. methinks.

Normal people know what it is.

Some normal people use it.

What exactly are you saying about Schwab & Nathan Jones? That they're not normal?

Personally, I don't like it much, but it didn't take a genius to realise the power it had.

It only needed to be recognised and utilised early on in the piece. Staying ahead of the curve, they call it.

It is all the work of the demon, but at the same time, I was adamant we should have a presence and it was before the advent of either Schwab or Jones' twitter.

If I was really going to give the credit to anyone, it'd be Russell Howcroft.

He'd have been onto it well before I was.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
