That the club needs unity is obvious. It's a vital ingredient for a successful club and one that's been missing at ours for a long time. On and off for nearly 50 years. Nice sentiments in the OP. I'm

I was down at Sorrento with my family today (if you see the afl story Demons escape heat at Sorrento) my family were in the background. The best way for my four boys to keep the faith in the Dees in these tough times is to meet and talk with the players. I must say Jack Trengrove and Nathan Jones were really good with my boys but the stand out again was Jak Watts he was fantastic, kicking the ball with them and posing for photos, this is really good for morale. I know about all the negative talk and feeling and frustration, I feel it too. But to boo and turn our backs on our club at this point in time what does that achieve??

I have sent and email to David Schwarz to see if he can mention the details re training on his show. I am not sure if he will? It is worth a try.

Garry Lyon might be willing to mention it on the footy show/footy classified - is that on Thursday nights? (i don't watch it)

demondame, I suggest we aim to be there around 9:30 for a listed 9:45 start to training. As it is Friday, the senior group will probably train lightly for 45 minutes or so. Some may even remain inside. However, if our numbers are impressive, word might get around that this is a training session not to be missed. The idea is to simply let the playing group know that we are a resilient bunch who will support them as they find a way to turn the season around.

I thought this quote from Dr Who over at 'Ology very relevant to what were trying to achieve on Friday morning. It comes from the thread about the volunteer membership drive. (the underlining and bold text are mine)

"Go Dees
First & Forever

Just for the record this membership drive programme really opens your eyes to the real MFC. We have had ex-players (Stevie Powell) at our nights, Mark Neeld & Neil Craig. CS popped in and I got the chance to have a chat with him. You read so much rubbish about our club in the media - please sorry to take a Molly Meldrum quote - but "do yourself a favor" come and see the real MFC."

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
