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.

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!

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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
