had a visit from fellow D supporter and after consuming most of the Woewodin celebratory port he had brought, we solved quite a few problems of the world and agreed that the dees give us reason to hope. Even felt ok the next day recommend the woewodin port.

48 years of failure, yet still we support and hope. What will the AFL do to us next?

I think disgruntled factions running to the media whores for the last few years have a bit to do with it too redleg

No wonder we struggle with culture with such "supporters" in our ranks

Can you speed up the clock H-T...I don't think I can wait that long to know if the tanking thing affects the draft and our Viney pick...I don't trust the AFL to not manipulate the rules to suit themselves... Edited by Lucifer's Hero

Don't panic, there will be no draft, thanks to the Supreme Court, if we lose picks before we are afforded natural justice and the right to call our witnesses and cross examine the AFL's.

Red. Youve got some pedigree with respect to the club. Without expecting you to actually comment upon what they might or mightn't do how are you with what they are currently doing about this mess.

a ) Itll be ok...they'll arc up and deploy the wigs if/when appropriate

b ) they need to get some resolve and battle plan ?

is it a given the club know who the enemy(s) is, both within and otherwise ?

cheers

I think the "within" may be a problem bub

There are factions that want the club punished for their own gain so they can enact a takeover

And they call themselves supporters

I don't like it and it won't go away...............we are a fractured club

Anything happening at the moment?

its a bit blowy !!! :unsure:

If the AFL are aware of this it will either be: -

1/nothing and/or

2/dragged investigation/please explain past draft date

I don't think they would want to prolong the Draft date. Nor would they want to impose draft penalties (if there is a finding) mid-stream through trade/draft 2012.

I understand the GC and GWS have a free banana policy, where they are paid for by the AFL and not included in their salary caps.

Good post over on that other thread redleg

Gave me a bit of an upper.....thanks

Here it is for those that can't be bothered searching for it.

I am 60 and have supported them all my life. My wife and kids the same. Never seen them win a flag. Copped [censored] from other clubs fans all my life but never strayed. I started the first supporters club magazine, called Demon's World. I started a supporters group called the Premier's Club. I have been a Director of the club. I have been Team Manager of the club. I brought in a new President, Wayne Reid. I am a Foundation member. I am a sponsor. I enjoy Demonland. I have given all my hope and soul to this club. I don't want anything but success for the club.

I have watched Boards fight each other. I was even part of one big fight. I nearly cried at the merger meeting when I saw the way people treated the late Tiger Ridley, a true Demon great. I have seen the club tear itself apart. This year I watched as Jim passed away, not long after two other Demon greats in Sean Wight and Stewart Spencer. I watched a sponsor stuff us up. I watched the Jurrah situation. I watched as our Coach was falsely called a racist. I watched the team get smashed week after week. I watched the media go to town on us and they still are.

It just seems so unfair. Other teams cheat and win Premierships. We are the only team to win a game that losing would have given us a priority pick and we did it twice. When we did get a pick the kid spent a year lying to us and his dying President before the AFL took him away from us. There is so much more i could go on about.

We seem to spend all of our time worrying about our club. It nearly makes you want to cry and give up. However that is just not acceptable as I have my children and grandchildren who I want to one day enjoy success that I have been denied.

Stop the fighting amongst each other and all get behind the club.

If we lose draft picks I want this club to fight all the way and I mean all the way. We owe it to those who came before and those who will come after. I don't give a rat's arse what we have to do to prevail in this situation, I just want it done. If we have to bring in every other club or destroy Demetriou or hurt the AFL I don't give a sh-t anymore. I have had enough.

Yes we may have been naughty but no different to many other clubs yet we alone once again are copping it. Our brand is being trashed and our future hampered and in fact put at real risk. We have 40 or so players who want to win for us and we need to support them. I don't care how dirty we need to be just do it.

We are seen as a weak club. NO BLOODY MORE. If we lose draft picks, we should hit the Courts, rally at the AFL and show the rest of the clubs that we are here to stay.

Sorry for the rant, I have just had a gutful.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
