Arguably there is no-one more passionate about the plight of MFC than Schwarz, certainly not in media circles.

He has just recently returned to the club and addressed the playing group, but is it now time to make his association with the club more full-time? Honestly at this stage I couldn't care less in what capacity, whether it be in an FD role or behind the scenes, I just think we need some real Melbourne people around the club. Ones that bleed red and blue.

Could he do it? Would he do it? How can he be of assistance in what is a desperate hour?

No we don't. We need leaders. real leaders.

We have no effective leaders in the team, and none in the coaching staff.

The senior players will not stand up; the coaches clearly have no effect/impact on the players in gametime.

Schwarz has passion for the club and this club lacks passion. Pretty logical really.

Obviously his presence alone isn't going to turn this club around but It can not hurt. Having someone who has been a part of a somewhat successful era and has worn this jumper before with honor may have a thing or two to pass on to this mob.

In fact I call on any ex Melbourne player who thinks he can bring something to the table to visit the club. All input should be welcomed at this stage.

Save us, save us! Oh won't you save us Mr [random historical figure of Melbourne Football Club]

Surely Steven Tingay, Shane Woewodin, Nathan Brown and Jeff Farmer should all come in, too.

Think he would be the perfect person to bring in right now. Too drunk to give any more than that. Will post more on this later.

Decoy out of the square, ala Carey at Adelaide.

Neil Craig is a genius! Why didn't we think of this?

Sad thing is even with shot knees and a decade out of the game,, Ox would still have Sellar and Pederson covered.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
