Why haven't you got the guts to call yourself Dr Who, Whoey?

He used to be then he got banned from memory.

EDIT: What ever happened to Jose Mourinho & Artie Bucco anyway (there was another who I can't recall as well - posted fervently for about 6 months then stopped funnily enough just as Artie started posting - then Artie stopped and Jose began...)

This is a well-run organization we're talking about here. Exposing it to the current Melbourne board would simply spread the infection here.

With apologies to the mods thought this board was more of a kakistocracy

Trying to justify your previous post, bit late isn't it.....that is not the context you used it in..........nut job...very gratifying, really getting under your skin aren't I.....thought you were going to ignore me, bit hard to do, anyway written about you on a couple of posts, go check them out, back to topic.......dedicated and passionate supporters, surely there is some misguidance when using those words to sum up Demonland posters......whingers, whiners, insulters etc would be more appropriate.....I am sure the Club can sort the wheat from the chaff

I haven't been one to criticise your contributions to date but this one is a disgrace. The context the expression "lurking" was used was entirely appropriate and a reasonable discussion could have ensued. Instead you've chosen to flame another poster and another thread will get cluttered with crap.

Now, credit where credit's due. I'm not one of RRs biggest fans but be has succicntly stated why the OP is a bad idea and provided a more useful forum for supporter interraction with the board

Your post further validates his argument. Read. Absorb.

The Board have more pressing issues than join an Internet forum site.

I would have thought that attendance at functions like the recent Trident function would be a more sensible and productive avenue for supporter interaction than some of the toxic soup that served up anonymously on this site.

A huge NO for me.

E25 was my all time least favourite Demonland poster.

Apparently he isn't - some poor bastard on here actually knows them both, in the flesh - can you believe his bad luck?

I think we should begin taking donations to the cover the frontal lobotomy he will no doubt be requiring.

^^what he said, about everything...

Looks like there is a new contender for that honour...

E25?

Yes, him. He was pretty handy at evading bans, and as mods we hardly had the energy to keep up with him. I took a fairly heavy handed approach last time which has either worked, or he's just laying very, very low now. Given his propencity for not just dying gracefully in the past, I'm guessing the latter.

This thread really unravelled, but there was some useful advice, which I appreciate. I followed this up, and there have been three Board members posting in recent times. They posted under their full names, which makes them official in a way, and maybe the Club could go a step beyond sort of semi-official post and answer selected topics officially.

So clearly the Board, or at least some of them, do read the posts here, or at least some of them, as Dj said. They might be surprised by the language and attitude, but what shows through is the posters' passionate support for MFC.

There were a couple of good one-liners there - the 00 one was a ripper.

Thanks for getting this back on track, michael.

This board seems about as united as the team and club appears to be at present.

I for one believe the board or the 'powers to be' as I like to call them have alot to answer for. They appear to have alot good intentions but little understanding of how to run a successful (on field) football club. What value would they add here as they are more likely to just give the supporters simple spin and ot what we all really want to hear, THE TRUTH.

Its time for not only a change of coach but also the board. Since the 10 goal loss to the Sun I have little interest in what the President, Board, previous CEO or Senior Coach has to say.However that may change if what they say is SORRY just before they resign or are FIRED!

MFC has accepted second place for far too long. Lets take this opportunity to make a clean out in the club so the 13th premiership is just around the corner.

    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.

    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.

    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
