    You have to have a good sense of humour around the MFC.

    Thanks for the laugh this morning!

    No.

    We can't mention Rooty Hill's wealthiest resident here.

    Ironically, it is the title of this thread that keeps T$'s name present on this forum.

    I'd be happy to have it changed to "Not a TS thread."

    No sooner suggested than done. I feel there is an all powerful force watching who can make these things happen.

    We seem to be on a roll. Great appointments, (some beating other clubs to them), new sponsor. What we need now is another new major sponsor, some good trading and some good drafting. A good pre season with a new game plan and we are up and running. Loved the words of Neil Craig about the MFC on his appointment, Seems to already have a great feel for the place.

    Redleg at the risk of being seen to be negative "what would we expect him to say?

    " I need a few years work and would love to live in Melbourne so I took the job because they are paying me the most".

    Proof of the pudding for me, talk is cheap I will wait and see how 2012 plays out before I go over the top.

    Having said all that at the very least we are making some big changes and It is hard to see that not improving things in 2012

    I wonder how that bloke who just moved to Rooty Hill will feel when he compares our coaching structures and talent to what he is now forced to 'live with' in Sydney's west .......... and more importantly, when he reflects in a few years time on 'what could have been', and what he might have been part of.

    Yes because there is lots of talk and usually little action.

    As far as the Dees are concerned I will be surprised if we do much.

    Don't think we have much to offer.( except perhaps Green as it does not appear he is going to sign any time soon!)

    But then Redleg we usually don't have much else to talk about at the end of September / early October.

    I love the anticipation of it, but I agree that its almost always a let down from a Dees perspective (eg. Hale, Ball, Judd didn't like us, and our punts on a host of second and third raters have rarely paid off) .... but for some strange reason, I really enjoy it. This year I have a feeling it might be different. Our recent success in getting our act together in our Football Dept., might just flow over into the playing ranks. Maybe a quality mid to fill the gaping holes in that area. Just dreaming, but I guess that's why I like trade week. It prolongs the dream.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
