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

    You may be right, but it is not a contest I want to be in!

    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.

    The chance to win one of three 31" LCD TVs

    31 could they not have made it 32"

    If they were giving away a 40" tv that was made in Russia I'd be impressed.

    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!

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
