Thank you.

And if you are being sarcastic you should get a little more confidence about you. It's very liberating being solely focused on how you do what you do :P

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you're sentiment, just thought it was a bit over the top and even more-so now considering you'd not read the article.

Thanks for the advice too. A shrink on Demonland.

Goes to show how much credence I gave the whole affair.

Onwards and upwards. Not sideways. Like I said, nothing journo, from a nothing paper. I read things that are pertinent to the club, not hyperbole from a bitter hack.

Well that answers that, doesn't it? Kennett will have to name his source or lose whatever credibility he had left; not a lot I might add.

Good to see the Dee's saying something about this rubbish, again showing our united front and the fact that we are not going to put up with rubbish anymore. However, let that be the end of it, we don't need any negative publicity or a public row with Jeff after the momentum we have built over the last month or so!!

Kennett stooped to his lowest level when he tried to win points at our Jimmy's expense - see above link

I sent a nice little email to the Hawthorn fc to let him know how I felt - I'm not expecting a xmas card back !

The problem here is you have an Ego in Kennett who needs attention and a journo that needs a story. Kennett knows who to bait people and you will find he placed this in front of Denham and he bit hard.

Do you know what it keeps Melbourne in the News, the only club that has been in the news over the past week has been Melbourne with Mitch Clark.

So thank you Media and this just shows we are worth writing about even if is a nothing story's.

Thanks for that one, hadn't read it before.....Very Low act indeed.

In that same link he had some interesting things to say about Garry Lyon - another foot in mouth effort me thinks .

Yeah , every dog has his day .

2004 - We played finals after a 14/8 season - whilst the Hawks were busy tanking - they lost 12 of their last 14 games

And picked up Buddy and Roughy in that years draft - love reminding my Hawk mates of that one - tarnished 2008 flag !?

We'll be strong again soon enough - Kennett is now an irrelevance .

Who really cares? Someone approached Kennett to be President - big deal!

I agree, But it's the fact he has dug it up now...This is obviously old news if it happened at all.

Why did you dig it up Greg Denham, what purpose are you serving?

Are you putting the Boot into Jimmy or just a general Bash?? You are a Turd of the highest order...i recognize that deep little voice anywhere...

Maybe they didn't?

It is probably BS, and BS about the Presidency of this great club is always worth fighting, and even more so when Jim Stynes is your President.

I don't like BS.

We should call Kennett and The Ausrtalian out on it.

Posted

Will KB call Greg Denham out on this next week. He will say we approached Jeff and whe won't back down.

The thing is someone must have asked him because Jeff just wouldn't sit there and think I might make up a story about melbourne approaching me. Maybe someone did and doesnt have the guts to own up.

We'll someone did and I don't think Kennett is making it up. The club stated it was no-one from the board or no-one connected with it which I also believe. Clearly it was someone that probably wasn't directly invloved with the club that thought he'd do a good job. At the end of the day this entire story is a storm in a tea cup.

Maybe - most likely, even - Kennett was boozing it up with some Melbourne heavy hitters, one of whom said/joked/thought-out-loud: "Hey, Jeff old c0ck, I wish we had a president like you. You'd love to run the Dees. Give it a shot."

Yes, but it's our tea cup.

A journalist and a club president just metaphorically punched us in the face and we should probably break a nose or two.

If nothing else, it will make us feel better.

Agree. Do nothing and you stand for nothing according to some.

Yes, I would prefer we go too far, try to get Denham sacked, and get the holier-than-thou refrain from Patrick Smith that we acting like 'sullen bullies' or whatever grammatical flourish takes the fancy of this person who loves sport but hates everyone involved in it.

Sorry to turn this into Smith-bashing...

It is exactly what we need to find out....If we go in hard and then find out kennett was right....not good.

Yeah right. The Australian are going to sack Denham over something that most likely did happen!!! I'm sure there are more pressing matters the club need to deal with to be honest......... I despise Denham as much as the next person but to even suggest that Denham should be sacked over this is just ridiculous!

This has been going on all year. Lyon slammed Kennett on TFS following Kennett getting stuck into us about appointing Lyon.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
