The horse has run its course, time to delete threads like this and move on.

Especially those who wrongly predicted massive and disastrous penalties that would have wiped out a couple of seasons worth of draft picks, big fines and the end of a few careers would want this hidden away now.

I feel the club has shown unity throughout this farce.

Certainly the board has shown unity of purpose.

The administration seems pretty tight.

The football department & the playing group seem fully focused.

For all those worried about this business forever tarnishing us as tankers have a a squiz at today's papers. Nary a mention of anything to do with tanking save a couple of articles that are critical of the AFL in regard to having the incentive in place.

The back of the Hun screams about tiered ticket prices. The Bombers will be back in the news soon and the NAB cup will fill space. The journos are combing social media for the next juicy beat up.

In a weeks time most people won't even remember the dees were investigated little lone brand us tankers. Yesterday news, today's virtual chip wrapppers.

Not one person will care about Melbourne.

Winning fixes a lot of problems. Melbourne storm moved on pretty quick after their sanctions. If we continue to have terrible seasons the media will stay on top of us and our "tanking"

I know we are not guilty but many will call us tankers and the point of my post was that if we lose plenty of games many in the media will ask if the investigation and sanctions have taken a toll on the playing group and club. I don't agree with the question but I could see them asking it.

Then we better start winning.

you miss the point completely. I am not getting angry. I just believe we ALL deserve more answers.

OK Apols. Was written in haste. I think in time we deserve answers. Its a boys club so don't expect any soon.

and looking at carlton.

hutchy even raised the point that going lower for draft picks is trying to win a flag in a few years time, not this year.

asking why brisbane arent being investigated.

lyon thinks winning wasnt our top priority - but thats true, development was.

Its over, many of us don't like it in some respects ( for me its the AFL 's missed opportunity, Gillon another 35-40 yo AFL wizzkid who I wonder if kanckers have dropped ? Plus a very dodgy position vivs a vis club. Nothing at all so far to make a call on him other than limp party line) but time to move on. Had a chance to get t right but blew it maybe.

I doubt if therewill be any more answeres Fitzpatrick and co have not implicated other clubs. Some may call it spineless, but there you go.

makes me glad i watching it tonight

now can the afl look at carlton .....

Ok, how do we contact CH9 to let them know this was the best FC we've ever seen? ... and we want them to keep the current panel. I'm serious!

Ring them many times...

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
