You know, I've just come to the realisation that this thread is the only one on Demonland where more than 50% of its regular posters are sane.

Does this mean the club's in trouble?

Depends on which side of the ledger one sits. Which side of the 50% are you on WJ?

Are you a tall forward? If so, you are probably injured already ... :lol:

There is no doubt we have improved as the stats have reflected that improvement.

What is killing us is the lack of our forward line, ruck backup for Spencer and the poor replacements for our missing players. We are also playing some non AFL standard players ATM and it hurts.

The non-AFL standards is particularly shown by our clangers. Not only couldn't we hit a cow's arze with a banjo, we would miss so spectacularly that we would knock ourselves out and scare the living #$!% out of the cow, which would go on a rampage and destroy everything in sight (except the banjo) ...

That might depend on whether you classify yourself as one of the sane ones or not ... :lol:

If any one is interested Chan Phat grocery in Victoria St, Richmond is selling bananas for $1.29 per kilo. I bought a few kilos for myself and a couple for the local possums. How wonderful.

Brilliant!

Potato prices are skyrocketing ATM - so scallop potatoes will be on the back burner. Apologies for topic change.....back to the bananas..

what's happened to hannibal? tipping point? 426?

I hope not, that would prove me wrong!

I suggested that there would be no tipping point, that all with a deep love and affection for their club, to see it rise again will stick fat.

Probably caught the last plane out of Melbourne Sunday night for a last minute organised vacation for 5 months.

Will be back in time for trade talk.

I wish I could afford to do that H_T

Seems like the perfect solution.

Trouble is I would still want to sneak a look at the scores etc.

It seems to me that several recent AFL rules/decisions have hurt us.

The introduction of the 2 new clubs and all their draft picks have slowed any chance of a quick come back.

The abolition of the PP has done the same.

The refusal of Evans to grant us one despite 7 pathetic seasons has done the same.

The abolition of 1 runner has aided the more experienced teams, of which we are not one.

The tanking inquiry and its aftermath has also hurt us.

Our fixture when looked at in a commercial sense has also hurt us financially.

There are probably more that i can't think of ATM.

I seem to remember a while back Hannibal/Ben Her/The Moth saying he wouldn't buy a membership until the club showed signs of improvement. Maybe he's gone the whole hog and stopped showing any interest? Or has he copped a suspension H_T?

I had coffee this afternoon with an old friend who happens to be a dees supporter for almost as long as me.

Said he has completely disconnected with the MFC after the 2012 season and then AFL at senior level goes to his local Amos team.

I ask would you come back?

He said doubt it I am now used to a non AFL existence, just so much easier and more fun.

He enjoys following a team that wins as many as it loses and he always feels his side has a chance.

Interesting that he said he no longer worries about the financial problems, does not take millions to field his side.

Running costs are low and generally has a good time.

Lost him I think barring a possible GF appearance I doubt he would be back.

In general conversation he said would never be a member again.

If we became a good side he might be persuaded to go to the odd game but it would be a GA if at all.

Indeed suspended. He can mull over his wrong doing whilst peeling back a banana or thousand.

I may have overlooked the membership statement - I don't recall that, what I do recall was his tipping point if they didn't pick up Hogan. Phew that was a close one. JH's back injury may have tipped him.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
