Gee we can really pick our CEO's. My brother is a lapsed Demon follower who is a golf tragic. He used to play golf occassionally with a former MFC CEO of a similar era to Ellis at his club in the mid week comp. In the end he refused to play with him because the said CEO had a habit of moving his ball out of a tough lie when he thought no one was looking.

I suppose golf is the ultimate test of your integrity. And that value has been in short supply at the MFC in recent years, at all levels. Jimmy and the present regime exempted.

Interesting isn't it?

I used to see my ball in a tough lie as a challenge I relished, to play some sort of creative shot around the tree or around & over with a draw to the green.

some, are only interested in the perception of success they get from others seeing their scorecard. I take pride in doing the difficult well.

I am just sad that my best shots come from those types of lies, which I put down to a wealth of experience from positions like that.

From an angle of attack POV a fade might be less of a challenge.

A few tickets in the car raffle offering if you can help return your brother to a Demon tragic !?

I wasn't aware that Ellis landed such a prestigious position after leaving Melbourne in what was virtually disgrace after the lost tax bill fiasco. The stars must have aligned for him to get the position and he must have learned some lessons to stay there for this long.

Anyone know what's happened with our other recent CEOs after leaving the club?

Wish people would make their own money and not through the courts. That whole story stinks of bull droppings.

Couldn't agree more.

A woman person scorned, can cause a heap of trouble.

Some CEOs see cheating without getting caught as the ultimate test of skill.

Golf is a good test of low characters.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
