I figured there would be one anyway so I thought Id get it started. For anyone attending can they please answer some questions for me.

1) Was Moloney there and were there other players missing

2) Speeches. I presume Don and Mark will speak. What did they say

3) Im assuming Jones will win. What did he have to say.

And was there any other important news.

It would be great if someone could report these back.

I will respond on what they will stay

1) Moloney will be there and will hand the medal to Nathan Jones

2) Don's speach Thanks for coming we all know it has been a tough year on the field, we are not happy with what transpired and we are looking forward to a much improved 2013. Off feild we will be profitable we had Opel re-commit for a second year and a number of sponser options that we are working through. Like to pay our respects to Jim, the first B&F with out him, thanks Jim for all you have done.

MN Speach, firstly thanks to the members and supporters for coming out to barrack for us when we know it has been hard to stick with us. 2012 has been hard we have changed the whole footy department and we will hopefully see our results change in 2013. Boys look around these are the people we let down, we have to prepare ourselves over the next 6 weeks for what will be another hard pre-season, there are no excuses this year be ready for October 29, we have to make our supporters want to come and watch us play, they turned up this year and we have to give them reasons to turn up next year.

3) Jones, thanks to the coaches support staff, family and supporters. Boys this year was crap, there is no way we are putting up with this in 2013.

There will be more fluff but these will be the main points.

I'd like to know if Moloney, Rivers, and Royal go. (Would expect so on all accounts, but who knows?!)

And geez I'd love it if Clark gives a speech!

Will he talk about not deviating off any lines? And that if someones does, they can go to Carlton, or wherever?

You talking about Clark or Moloney?

Clark seems a passionate bloke, and is part of the leadership group, doesn't need to talk about the players leaving, needs to focus on the players staying.

I don't understand why you'd love for Clark to speak.

Much of what you just wrote is Moloney to a tee 12 months ago.

Why wouldn't Royal go? I haven't heard anything about him getting the sack.

What do you want our leaders to say?! As I explained, Clark is part of the LG, and seems a passionate and down to earth guy, would love for him to set a positive and proactive tone for the preseason.

I'm just saying that that's pretty much what I heard from Moloney at the B and F 12 months ago.

I get ya. But as I was saying, I would like to hear something more positive and proactive for the boys that WILL be there, rather than agro at whoever is leaving.

Neither have I, but his contract is up and if he happened to not be there it would speak volumes.

I was under the impression he was still contracted for next season....are you sure he is done?

1.Jones

2.Grimes

3.Rivers

4 Howe

5.Trengove

6.Clark

Except for poor ol' Trenners, who shouldnt make top 2o!.. he'll cope with it all better next year imo..

Absolutely agree with everything else.

I think Dan Nicholson should top 1o, he was superb this year!

Expect the same next year from Evans, as Nicho moves into the midfield.

If Jones was overlooked tonight.. ha.. id burn down the freakin 'G!!!

{-i actually wouldnt really mods: you ever erasing, beastly powerful overlords, who we just love having 'round the place-}

EDIT: actually, replace Trenners with Tom McDonald! he deserves top 5 after his remarkable season.. king of the 1%ers our boy tom!

Why do we always seem to trade our best a fairest winner a year or two after they win it.

History will tell you that winning the bluey medal isn't exactly the best thing.

Please be Morton, please be Morton, please be Morton, please be Morton......

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
