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

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
