The brass have shown they are bereft of said spirit, so will have to be removed by those who aren't.

Charges of 'feeding irrational paranoia' and stoking 'alarmism' are judgment calls, which you entitled to.

I disagree.

We've been through one of these dances before, you and I.

You are equating HWFUA to my view that we should wait for more than one rounds evidence before we push for a board challenge, the firing of the CEO, and the removal of the coach and your view that we should do all those three things now?

Don't waste my time with that.

My issue is not who you wish to remove but when, if we dish up a few more months of this then I doubt anyone at the club would be safe.

And my point to show your 'faux alarmism' is that you are hitting a raw nerve you know you are hitting. You are getting wyl riled up with this stuff and he is taking a couple with him over the cliff (note: that is a proverbial cliff...).

If you think, as I do, that this club will endure, don't put forward that we are headed for the same fate as Fitzroy.

It is disengenous and, despite the scoffing from the Demonland bleachers that this we recieve, it is beneath you.

It's the 102L - 32W that's hitting the raw nerve, Rpfc. People are upset and rightly so.

And give other people credit for forming their own views.

Some of the views wyl comes up with can only be credited to him. You are fueling this pipe-nightmare that we will soon not exist.

That is a sh!t record you keep bringing up. It's not that much different to Fitzroy's. But that is where the similarities end. I happen to have a few family friends who knew the state of their finances in the last few years. They were not doing well at all while paying approx 70% of the cap at the time. There are reasons other than W/L record as to why Fitzroy went the way of the Dodo (what, to Queensland?).

The record under this Board and Schwab isn't pretty (to say the least: 24W and 65L), and after the offseason relaignment that promised more than Sunday we have good reason to ask for new people IF what happened Sunday is to repeat itself often this year.

Happy for the criticism but when it is pushing reason, I will push back.

The board and administration are very very quiet......gutless lot have not come out in support of Neeld.

Wait til round 4

It's actually not that big a deal to change him out. The club is 150 years old, he is a footnote, just cut the weed out and lets move on to the next phase of this great football club we all love so much.

5 or 6 people on this Board are upset including you, the rest of us are looking fwd to tomorrow night, think you are a fan of The Manchurian Candidate...keep saying the same thing loudly over and over and over again, in the hope you can beat everybody into submission, this is me forming my own view, do I get credit Rangey, go on I dare you

Satyriconhome, I think you'll get credit when your views differ a smidgen from Mr Repetitive himself, Stuie. Your relentless pursuit of RR smacks of a child demanding attention. Ie 'do I get credit Rangey, I dare you'.

An opinion is a lie is it? Think you have trouble with basic vocab. Strange for a pseudo-intellectual art-film watching lightweight. Then again ...

Say no more. I'll be directing the mods to address your baseless personal attacks. Disgraceful.

Jens Lehmann got the boot for good. You're next.

I can just imagine the board meetings....

Prez: "So, Range Rover, what do you think is our biggest challenge?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Ok, so what do you think we should do?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Riiiight, got that already, how can we improve?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Yes, you said that already, what productive suggestions do you have?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Geeeez... I need a break, let's get lunch, Rangey what do you want to order?"

RR: "102L - 32W.... No lettuce."

That's weak RR. Someone has a go at you the SAME WAY you do at EVERYONE and you go crying to the mods... Very weak, even for you.

An opinion might not be a lie, but it's certainly not a fact.

I have been attending AGMs since 1988. For mine this Board is the most talented board we have had over that duration. Now you may say that is saying both a little and alot. If they were to be kicked out then I would fear for the future of the MFC. Look at the resume of our Directors and offer me some alternatives of similar business standing.

Keep up the good work RR, you and WYL and others are doing a terrific job going toe to toe with these posters that appear to be here only to deflect, disturb and discredit anybody willing to ask questions of this admin.

I've got no problem with anyone forming an opposing opinion Stu. You annoy the hell out of me but you have a right to your opinion.

But I draw the line at a punk like Satyricon saying that I am spreading lies. It's not on.

Jens Lehmann went on the same track. Now he's permanently banned. Suggest you and anyone else who wants to go down that track take note.

Exactly mate. Their game is to deflect from the issue and attack me in the hope of getting the thread shut down. Just like they did with the Schwab thread.

They won't succeed.

Listen RR, as much as we disagree, we both quite often have a very attacking style of posting here. With that territory comes some heat back the other way, granted there's a line, but you shouldn't go running to the mods as often as you seem to be doing in the last week or so, it's gutless.

I cop my fair wack here, plenty from you, I fire back usually but I accept it as part of the passion that is Demonland.

Fire back with some proof, smartass cracks, polls, whatever you like, but don't be a sook.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
