Im going to the pre match function to listen to what the club has got to say about the future of the club.

I just thought it might be a good time to meet some other demonland fans before the game.

We could all have a chat about the club in person for once.

Cheers guys

All tickets have been allocated. I was late RSVPing and rang last week only to find all tickets were gone. Should be a good rev up for the supporters. Get fired up for the first smash on Sculls. Cant wait. How pathetic. A game against GWS and it is (hopefully) going to be a highlight of our season.

Wasn't really worth attending.

A light feel-good affair low on content.

Sad to say, but I got very little out of it other than a free lunch.

Slightly disagree. A few words I noted. McLardy and Schwab saying that we will be very active in trading recruiting and free agency. Intimated that the Mitch get will be repeated. Clint Bartram also said something odd. It went along the lines of them looking to finish off the year strong as a group as the group wouldn't be the same next year ... or something to that effect. All in all I got the feeling that there was no sugar coating of the list and that we had to go hard to build it up.

The line about "this list will never play together ever again" is so tired and cliched that it gets used at amateur footy clubs.

Every year there are changes, it's not new.

Also the words about trading & recruiting didn't really reveal anything.

I'm sure that intention is there most years - getting the deal over the line is another thing.

I was under the impression there was going to be an open Q&A session.

Some may have been satisfied, but I was bored for the most part.

Hey, I was going to say that to the boys at training...

And rpfc is anything but cliched.

I pity the fool who thinks I am cliched.

So bored I suppose that you stayed for the free food?

I was hoping for some Q&A as well, was a bit disappointed but at the end of the day it was something to make the supporters feel more involved and there was a match about to go on shortly after - not really the time and place to open up cans of pent up supporter frustration worms.

The function is an annual event which is part of the Premium Members membership package. In my opinion this was the best one in a long time in terms of the number of speakers - Don McLardy, Josh Mahony, Leigh Brown, Clint Bartram, Brad Green & Mark Neeld with a video message - the venue (Jim Stynes room) & the quantity of food available. Don McLardy said he would be giving a prepared talk - the same one he gave at the President's lunch and quoted in The Age. There was not the opportunity to ask questions but everyone was invited to speak to a staff member or e-mail the club if they wanted to be invited to one of the members forums.

That's pretty much it.

I wasn't going to leave and buy lunch when they were laying all that on!

I stayed in case something of interest came up, and I left pretty disappointed.

It was free, but I felt like the event had promised to be a bit more than what we got.

Nothing wrong with sharing an honest opinion. Hopefully it will be what you hoped for next time.

I went to last years one as well so kind of knew what to expect - location was way better this year how good is that Jim Stynes room? Beautiful view of the ground, do we get access to that as part of our Tridents membership or is it for the top grade members (or corporates) only?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
