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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
