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.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
