I can just see him in board meetings continually looking left and right. Yeah, let's get him. [censored], let's also get Patrick Smith.

And that Denham bloke!!!

How bout Greg Denham?? Ok ok...just kidding. David King then? He at least called the appointment of Neeld a disaster in the making very early! Anyone?

Where did you arrive at Mike Sheahan?

Mike Sheahan is a MFC member ( or used to be ) as I went in on the tram with him to an AGM. Think I would prefer Kennett as the high-profile President but I like the idea of Mike on the board.

I'd rather he just stayed on the couch

Ok jokes aside but what about Glenn Lovett? Is a very and I mean very successful businessman and had a lot of passion for the Dees.

Doesn't he work overseas?

I dont see how anyone can make a difference, the preisdent cant make the list play better everyone thinks that maybe jeff developed buddy roughy hodgy. Luck and good recruiting is the only way the list can improve, I think u will find that pederson will be a good pick up I cant fault his game yesterday, roden is good value as a role model for Dom barry, and he is a good trainer.

That is exactly what they said about Daniher and Bailey as well and changing them did not bring success. When does it become the playing list?

Glenn might have a bit of trouble sitting in the President's chair at Board meetings. He lives in London.

STRIKE ME PINK! (said in my best Alf Stewart voice) Are people serious? Mike Sheahan as president? Has he ever run a business before or NPO? David Schwarz has also been mentioned here as presidential material and as much as I like his passion, he clearly doesn't have the credentials. Mike Sheahan has even bloody less credentials. Are we that bereft of ideas and so obsessed with personalities and celebrities that we are willing to have anyone on the board so long as they have a media profile? Why not run it as a reality TV show? Melbourne Demons Survivor starring Garry Lyon, David Schwarz, Derryn Hinch, Mike Sheahan, Greggy Evans and Mal Walden. All six get locked into a radio studio with ample food, water and sanitation and the one who can provide the most media friendly soundbites to the members of Demonland gets elected president.

Get serious. It's our obsession with personality and a 'savior' that allows a nimrod like Kennett to stick his bonce into our club politics. While I'm not happy with what's going on on the field, we at least seem to have a tentative path forward in fixing our FD and board up. However, like a cat distracted by a laser pointer, we forget all that when the chance to rub shoulders with a celebrity comes up. Stuff process. Jeff is here to turn things around. Or maybe we can get Mike Sheahan on board? How about getting f***ing Fat Cat out of retirement to lead the board? He should be popular with the youth demographic we need.
Rant off.

    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
