It wasnt the answer that was given. Any reason why Hazy may have re quoted his section at the bottom of the post? Take your time. Hmmmmm....

Yes Yes i read that last Quote, nothing more than a deflection which is what Hazy often gives when asked a direct question.

I was actually after a direct answer this time-if he wishes to nominate a thread i will be waiting, and i certainly do not need you to hold my hand RR.

I thought he addressed it clearly with the repeated quote. And for someone who hides in the shadows when asked a direct (and simple) question you are a curious one to expect it from others.

And FWIW, I am sure Hazy must be shaking in his boots awaiting one of your tepid grillings. And I'm sure your big enough to bury yourself once more in another factless performance.

I said i would let it go but you keep taking swipes and self promoting.....

Actually, far from "self promoting" I am simply trying to address the many posts directed at me without making myself the topic. It is tedious to have the same arguments every time I contribute to a topic involving the Gardner Board.

Here are the facts:

- You said Leoncelli put the "previous administration" to shame.

- Leoncelli was part of the "previous administration".

- You praised Leoncelli's contribution to the club.

- You criticised the Gardner Board for spiralling debt.

- Gardner oversaw profits from 2004-2007 (his first year as Chairman was 2003).

- Leoncelli was on the Gardner board for the 2008 debt.

Your criticism does not stack up. Sling as much mud at the previous Board as you like, Leoncelli was still part of it and you still look stupid for saying that he put the "previous administration" to shame. Furthermore, the credibility of your accusations against the "previous administration" is undermined by your obvious ignorance and willingness to take not just irrelevant but utterly nonsensical shots at them. Arguing that Leoncelli doesn't count as part of the previous Board because he has since spent more time under the current Chairman makes about as much sense as blaming Leoncelli for single-handedly bringing the club into debt, that is, none.

I am not going to enter into a broader debate about the merits of the Gardner board in this thread. Feel free to start a new one and I may even bring myself to rehash that argument yet again.

So Rhino, is WYL your whipping boy, or are you just bullying

Just curious :unsure:

Now why would there be so many topics involving the Gardner Board, why do they need defending, they were fantastic, right????? :rolleyes:

You still can't escape the facts laid out at the end of that administration.

So, how about we move on???

Yes, I loved him as a player. He came on board as part of a group of kids with funny sounding names. (Well, funny sounding to me! Apologies to them, 'cos I don't mean to insult anyone!) Leoncelli, Woewodin, Yze, Rigoni & Grgic all started playing around the same time, if my memory serves me correctly. I had a soft spot for them all. Only Grgic disappointed.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
