2005 losing the last 5 games after being on top in round 18 was the WORST of our culture.

Right there.

That was 2004. 2005 we sneaked into the finals by winning our last 3 games against Geelong, Bulldogs & Essendon by a combined margin of about 14 points.

That win against Bulldogs was so special.

I miss that feeling.

Yep 2004-05-06 were all finals bound. My point exactly.

But never back it up the following year.

^Right there!

the real point is we limped in there when we had far more talent than what was shown.

Redleg is my nomination and I need all Demonlanders to second the nomination

We are in the position we are in, not because of Schwab, McLardy or any of the current Board it is purely the neglect and absolute incompetence of many of the previous Boards and their appointed Managers.

We spent years in the wilderness because we put up with 50's and 60's style Boards/Managers who were well meaning but so far out of their depth it didn't matter.

We should never have been headquartered at the Junction Oval and that caused the club to deteriorate, almost to the point of extinction.

You obviously have no understanding of the history of this club and it shows in your ignorance of past issues.

We now need to hire someone that isnt a melbourne person, doesnt have mates at the club and he can be from another sport. We just need someone new and fresh.

Don at least could have had a tie on. You can tell the last few weeks have been dragging him down and lets face it he probably didnt want to be president but sadly circumstances forced him to be.

Finally Schwab admits the club handled James McDonald wrong and should have kept him. Well duh

You stood up for the past issues, and then you blame them on past administrations, your a laugh a minute, you cant even remember what you post, you have zero credibility.

Did you actually read what I said and do you have in fact the intelligence to understand what I referred to? Talk about zero credibility you have zero competence.

I referred to previous Boards, you know the ones who allowed the club to fall in to a state of disrepair in the late 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Do you have any understanding at all of our history?

Why do you think we fell from being the most powerful club in the VFL to the worst in the AFL; do you think it's all Schwab's fault?

Get a clue.

The CEO doesn't pick the President. The Board picks the President. The Board also picks the CEO.

Thanks Roost it I think your time is up.,,,,

Yeah i do have fair grasp of our history, you are a very slippery customer RF, the other day your bitching about CC and CS,but a few weeks before that you were putting your balls on the line through the tank investigation, then you blame the past administrations on what ever you can, your a comedian, whos fault is it, the 60,s was 5 decades ago, why dont you blame the current board, you backed Schwab through the tanking investigation and eventually YOU lost.

I think was right you haven't got a clue and talk about slippery, I also mentioned the 90's, want to talk about that or weren't you around then?

Remember 1996 when we were so broke the Board wanted to merge the club to save it? I stood up for the club in the tanking issue I guess the difference is you didn't.

Remember the 70's when we had nothing, hardly won a game and our supporter group started to die off? How many Boards in that time let the club down and allowed us to slip in to oblivion.

But it's all Schwab's fault.

We used to treat Hawthorn with disdain and now they wouldn't [censored] on us.

Your last comment sums you up; YOU lost. No idiot, the club lost you just can't see the difference.

Now [censored] off I'm not interested in giving you a lesson in our history; look it up.

Are you Peter Slipper, you backed CS and CC all the way through the tanking investigation, then you bag the crap out of them for not taking into account for what you donate to the club, WHY dont you tell people what you want,then you bag administrations from 50 years ago, your a laugh a minute, who do you back RF,your all over the shop. you bag them for not realising your dollars contribution,then your with them, its laughable.

I backed CS and CC over the issue of tanking, I expressed my disappointment over the fact they they and THE REST OF THE CLUB, didn't even acknowledge the contributions of their members.

Now even a fool can see the difference but I guess you're not even a fool.

Want to talk about the 90's Pete?

When your wrong old timer you abuse people, YOU were wrong,THEY WERE THE REST OF THE CLUB, admit defeat, you backed the wrong horse, the whole of demonland have read your posts, Baghdad bob proved you wrong, at least have guts to admit it.

Old timer; that the best you can do? Maybe get your mum to read my posts to you and perhaps she will be able to explain them in a way you'll understand, although I doubt it.

Fanbob ran off in to the night when Schwab was cleared in the tanking issue, what you're doing is trying to rewrite history.

As I said you haven't got a clue and the more shrill you become the more stupid you sound.

Mjt, now that yourbmate schwab is gone I can't see what you bring to the table in any discussion. Please don't revert to slagging foundation heros just because Schwab is no longer a issue for you to [censored] about

    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
