50th on Sunday...Whilst at school kids laughed at me for being a Demon in the 70s.

Now they laugh in sympathy, & we are told to be patient.

Why do our players not seem to be up to AFL standard?

Why should we accept this season after season??????????????????????????????

Congratulations, yes mate it's time for change, where obviously in the hands of the AFL now, I personally believe that no one apart from Kennet has put there hand up for the job, all I want out of the MFC is to be able take my 8 year old boy to the footy without losing every single time, I don't want to win every time, but when I get off the train Punt Road I would like to think we're half a chance, the last 6 yrs has been utter garbage, every season you buy your membership and the seasons over in the first round, this current board offers no hope.

Happy to take as much money from the AFL as we can get, after their contribution to our financial position, in always giving us a totally unfinancial fixture.

PS. I concede our pathetic performances have not helped either.

PPS. Interesting post earlier, that because of our position, other club's revenue is also being affected. People not coming to Dees games from both clubs playing, because they don't expect a contest. To that end the other clubs want us to be helped and to be competitive, as it is better for everyone.

Which is why the AFL will not let us fold.

My view, is that things will change , led by Peter Jackson.

He will ensure, we have some new staff, who are ruthless about winning, and excellant at what they do.

However, it will take time, and money.

He will see the AFL with a plan, next week, they will hopefully accept it. Then things will start changing.

A number of our issues go back a few years , most important, being our list management.

This will take time to fix.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
