We will never find out but i would love to know the average age of MFC members.

I suspect it may well be the highest in the MFC.

That is a real danager.

We need to start having winning seasons.

Doggies would be worse

Guys I rang the MFC and asked them and to be honest I am not a lot wiser.

Perhaps the web site person has jumped the gun and staff have not been given a full explanation.

Who knows what will transpire in the fullness of time!

When I was at school (approx. 100 years ago) a grade of 'D' meant a fail. I wonder why I remember that so well? Anyway, I doubt that this is what our Club has in mind. 'Distinction' seems more appropriate.

Edit: spelling

Gee RN they would be in real trouble if they are dependant on this old croak.

My wife told me just this morning when I was complaining about the "ageing process"

To remember "you woke up alive this morning just get on with it".

Sounds like the MFC to me.

You, me and the MFC, old dee!

From the email... quote ...

"In 2012 our generation of young, talented players will demonstrate their growing strength, and come into their own under new leadership. We are calling it Generation D"...

My take on it...

  • New 'younger' Captain - Trenners!
  • Younger brigade of other leaders in the LG....say Grimes or Watts as VC. Frawley and then a few older boys to support them out of say Moloney, Jones and Green. Moloney might keep VC but definitely a bent towards youth in remainder of LG. Just a stab.
  • Generation D. Sounds better than "Young Demons" or something like that i guess.

Thanks for the effort to explain it it just seem complicated to me.

How about i put it in poker terms then....

Generation D = We're going 'all in' on our youth lol

P.S. You're right. Pretty much everything i say on here is a guess :lol:

I think I must have put that wrong.

I was meaning we all need to guess because it is IMO a little obscure.

Oh, that's what you meant lol.

Maybe they're spending a little less on marketing and redirecting it into the bowels of the FD. There i go....guessing again

A lot of marketing is like that RN guessing is quite often the only solution open to us mere mortals!

31....hmmm theres that funny ol number again.... Must be the start of rebuilding its image as a number having relevant meaning :rolleyes:

The chance to win one of three 31" LCD TVs

31 could they not have made it 32"

Hah! Very well spotted! Conspiracy theories everywhere. You sure you're not Mel Gibson? And does T** S***** have a middle name? All the bad guys do.

I dont get whats so complicated, as stated early in the thread it is simply playing on "generation X or Y or Z"

But your teams nickname is the "Dees"

So they are using the term "Generation D"

As in this will be Our Generation - edit in terms of success

imo anyway, no secret messages or anything cryptic about age

    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
