Great work by PJ.

I know Andrew Demetriou is not popular here and I expect to be howled down but if we get a PP we should seriously think about an award in his name.

1. Denied we tanked, then hosed down the tanking wildfire started by Adrian Anderson in his absence as best he could so we ended up with feather duster penalties and AA gone.

2. Organised PJ, gave us the necessary special funding, was instrumental in the Roos signing

3. PP?

All of that is true. What tends to be overlooked though is that AD was also instrumental in the Schwab signing so perhaps he's just trying to square the ledger

Did anyone see the bit in the press conference where he said that the last 5 years the MFC have been spinning on about success yet not delivering on field. Talk about going WACK! I loved it!

I have a feeling he does not like Cam Schwab.. :cool:

Don't think you will be howled down.

AD has said often the best thing for the AFL would be a strong MFC. No one on Demonland would disagree.

The PP will be decided by a sub committee but AD hopefully can assist.

We need an immediate player injection, Roos and PJ know it and so does AD.

Financial assistance will not immediately improve us onfield and that is the important thing for all of us.

Is there any way that we can show our appreciation?

We all rocked up to training that time to show support for the club but what can we do for Sir Peter Jackson The Great?

I don't want to bombard his email address as I am sure he has much to do.

Any ideas?

Make him a life member.

Yes i have often wondered about the hand over period and discussions (if there were any!!)

Jackson must have just shook his head.

As for CS i wonder if one thing went wrong, and it all just slowly fell from there no matter what he tried.

I am sure his history lessons were put in place to shield us from reality.

How many times have Landers been convinced, just convinced, that the AFL wants us to fold, merge, relocate, or any other awful thing...

The AFL don't want us to struggle, they don't want to move us, they just want to only have to worry about GC and GWS and they would be happy.

I'm thinking add him to our midfield...!

Roos has other ideas.

PJ you bloody ripper. A true brawler/bulldogger but also a very smart/fast operator. Must keep.

Posted

He's contracted till the end of 2014 right?

Hopefully he gains an emotional attachment to the Dees and sticks around longer.

If we have some success, so do I, if not I'd hate to see him become an emotional wreck like the rest of us have.

leaders don't become emotional wrecks

they work out problems

Jackson is the man entirely responsible for making the Paul Roos appointment happen and for that I can't be anymore appreciative.

There are very few out there who could walk into this club in the state it was in and make that happen.

It's pretty clear to see why he was hand-chosen by the AFL.

    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.

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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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
