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.

    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: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
