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?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
