It’s all been a bit too gloomy on the board in recent weeks. So, given the call by many posters for the MFC Board to be replaced, who would you like to see on the (hypothetical) Demonland ticket?

Personally, I’d be happy with Whispering Jack, rpfc, Daisycutter, Nasher, Redleg and Jaded. Each offers wisdom, humour and passion without the need for vitriol. I’m tempted to add Bitter But Optimistic although perhaps I just want to quell the stereotypical image most people have of Melbourne supporters.

I can’t find a spot for Why You Little or Ben-Hur although I don’t doubt their passion. I just feel they might struggle with the need for a unified voice. And Rhino Richards might aggravate the supporters a bit too much with his, er, biting commentary.

Who would you choose? (And lets keep it friendly, OK?)

Rangey has to be on the ticket as club communicator.

Look at all the polls we can engage in.

nooooo not redleg, refusing to drink whisky cognac and brandy automatically precludes them from the old boys club

saty would be the logical person to keep the meetings going ooooonnnnnnn into the wee hours of the morning

bbo would certainly lift the tone of the room for me and could also work the footbridge selling raffle tickets pregame, who would refuse

maybe one other could be a mn fan so the meetings had a touch of eveness i was thinking GNF

not sure about the biff , liqueur cabinet would need to be locked

thanks for starting a fun post and smile. were all dees

Biffen.

There is no other choice.

Thanks for your support Choke-

I'm not sure if the time for my ideas has arrived .

First thing I would do is allow women to vote.

Then I would lift the White Australia policy,

Eddie will hate it .

And. Furthermore. How can you have any sort of reasoned discussion without vitriol? Dland would lose half its members.

Extremist.

Keep your regional conservatism to yourself ,

us city slickers are ripe for revolution.

I'll ban fox-hunting and then you'll only have football and corporal punishment to keep you occupied.

I am currently working on the Australian Banana Board to sponsor us. We could also make millions, selling banana smoothies at games, instead of beer.

I imagine I'll need to raise my profile if I want to be elected!

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
