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.

That's it.

Just offering some feedback.

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?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

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)
