There's a nice symmetry, a poetry, to it. Schwabby and I departing on the same day.

Like him, I've become a lightning rod of late for the frustration, anger and disillusionment of online MFC supporters struggling to come to terms with what's happened to this once great club.

This is understandable. It's bloody hard to face the reality that you support a football club with an ingrained culture of failure of over 50 years standing. One day, when things settle down, I'm quite sure you'll look back and appreciate the efforts I've taken to help you wake up, recognize and acknowledge the situation. If you haven't already.

Today was a watershed day for us, no doubt about it. The day the MFC 'proletariat' fully woke up to its plight. It's a bitter pill to swallow to have the The AFL step in to assume the running - by proxy - of the club, but as the sick patient that we are we must accept that this is what must take place for true healing to occur. It's our only shot at survivial at this stage.

It's certainly better than the alternative had drastic change not occurred ... extinction.

So, good bye fellow Demons. Keep up the good fight. And try to listen and take note when you can of the likes of OldDee and WhyYouLittle. Posters like these men (and women) represent the wise and knowing elders among you ... they are the online conscience of the MFC.

Go Dees. Now and Forever.

So long old chum. Although I never engaged in battle with you, if I had of, I am in no doubt that you would be a more than worthy opponent.

See you under another pseudonym soon, or perhaps when the dees next make finals. Or maybe not at all.

Whatever comes first.

I look forward to walking past you at the G' without even knowing it was you.

Caio'

Words of professed wisdom from the person formerly known as Range Rover; "Do not hand this club over any more of your $$$ or a minute more of your precious time until sweeping changes are made"

Words that have infinitely more relevance from Satyriconhome;

"Nineteen asked me to pass on our work tonight on yet another interesting day at MFC

Turned up at the G unaware to be greeted by shattered staff, if the CEO is hated by some, the staff loved him

15 of us turned up tonight which was great, Jason, Daniel, Andrew, Cheryl, Geoff, Dave, Michael, Michael, Stephen, Anne, Chelsea, Judith, Trish, Peter and Geoff who had to leave early, thanks to everybody who turned up including the newbies

Surprisingly we still managed 22 sign ups but importantly about 300-500 phone calls

Some of us managed to chat to Cameron, who made the effort to come and thank us for turning up to support the Club, and yes I shook his hand again

I congratulated him on a couple of things that will be a lasting legacy, the emblem and the blazer, the players all love it, and in case any of the doubters want to question, I hand out scarves on Match Day and we had 18yr old Nathan Stark with us last Saturday, I asked him what he thought of the Blazer and he loves it. I have made a point of asking the others as well...so thanks Cameron for giving us an individual identity back...and thanks for the thanks....and the joke about applying for job at AFL HQ

The Membership staff really do appreciate the help, so next Monday or Tuesday if you want, contact Nineteen on here."

Good riddance mate, I sure will miss your arrogance and self righteousness.

I feel like you might have been better suited to pre-revolutionary Russia, though they might have just shot you instead of kicking you off an Internet forum.

Ciao

Please mods, can you lock this thread poste haste - any comments (both negative and positive) simply serve to feed his insatiable ego. Cut off his oxygen now.

As much as I actually agreed with some of what he wrote, especially on our ex CEO, which also just quietly had me doubting my position because of who I was agreeing with, the only thing to say is...what a spanner.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
