Sorry to hijack lads, but perhaps this thread could be renamed the "No tank No B$ thread"!

At this point that wouldn't worry me.

In my backyard as a 12 year old with a Magpie mate listening on a transistor radio. Couldn't get a ticket and my parents weren't into football.

Saw Silvagni at a Restaurant last night and nearly wanted to ask him how you know who was going and who they were taking 1,2 & 3.

Just got back from a week on the gold coast with my wife, Daughter and Grand Daughter had a lot of fun.

Snuck a look a couple of times at Demonland.

What a bunch of Depression.

On now and the first eight threads are doom and dire statements about the tanking episodes.

The MFC is just depressing for me at present, what a shambles this club is at times.

Paid my 2013 membership a couple of weeks back but the way things look that maybe it for me over 2013.

I have a bad feeling about all this crap.

Surely there are better ways to spend 2013.

Can fully understand.

I too, old dee, have not read all the 'Tanking' threads. I prefer to keep my head in the sand and not get caught up in the drama (on here).

On another note. I'm hoping Tippett goes into the ND. GWS will pick him up, leaving Toumpass or Wines to us. Add to that, i hope Jacobs leaves PA and we pick him up in the PSD.

We need all the luck we can get. We may have some low draft picks next year. I'm hoping for Premiership points taken off us next year. I dont think we will make the 8 regardless

On another note. Did anyone hear Buckley on SEN today. I heard Buckley saying that Dawes was told by the Dees that his days were numbered at the Pies therefore he chose the Dees to play next year, or something to that effect. Does Buckley really believe that Pie supporters will believe that. He was a contracted player who could have stayed, or the Pies forced to stay if they chose.

Buckley is a tool who I hope fails as a coach. Over rated player too.

Pie supporters seem to be OK with Dawes leaving. IMO too many short sighted supporters in the AFL (including pie supporters). Dawes has played well as FF and was forced to play up the ground and went backwards. Whilst he is not a star, he is a more than handy FF. I'm backing Dawes to get back to form with Mitch and Pederson up along side him.

I'm told that Buckley also came out in support of Melbourne on the tanking issue stating that all clubs whose seasons are shot do exactly what Melbourne's done i.e. embarked on a policy where team development was more important than winning. Every club did it but only one of them is being investigated and that is the scandal of the year.

I guess I am just over 2012 Biffen but when did we last have a year that was not mired in incompetance?

The MFC seems to lurch from one disaster to the next.

I look forward to a year when all we have to consider is the quality of our playing stocks.

As the 2012 year draws to a close the next thing on the agenda is will we be kicked in the guts because we could not even tank well.

If it was raining soup the MFC would be standing there with a fork.

Can the AFL please do whatever they have to do with our tanking and lets get on with it.

Please Mr. D make a decision and lets move into 2013 with all this crap of 2012 behind us.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
