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.

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.

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 Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
