What makes him an overlord and what's with bringing in stockbrokers and insurance salespeople?

We need more lawyers on the board :lol:

I think Howcroft was very entertaining at AGMs for a while and then things stopped being funny.

Not often you are wrong WJ but on this occasion you are way off the mark.

Clearly there a need for more Accountants on the board.

After all the Pen is mightier then the sword!

Plus it may stop the Club giving out all its money to incompetent people as our lawyers seem to be unable to prevent.

Steve Morris is a very close family friend of mine, so naturally I'm ecstatic about his appointment. He's been involved with the club for years, and is just about as passionate as you can get. Might be a biased view, but he's a good acquisition - Very smart man.

Can't even get both his kids to support the club...

Just starve the kid, Steve! That'll learn him.

Yes, young Sammy is a St Kilda supporter unfortunately. Might be the best time to try and convert him!

Howcroft out, Morris in.

As always, we thank him for his service, and welcome our new overlord.

Forever, will they be tied to the critical mass of our shared failures.

Huzzah!

Good to see...

A bit more regeneration to go and I would like to see someone representing our younger and future members on the board with the next appointment. We need people who are right on top of new media and in touch with young peoples viewpoints. With an older membership base we really need a different perspective to help us move forward.

I'm reasonably young, rjay...

I think we just need to start winning to entice younger supporters.

That would be a start, but it would also be good to spread the age profile of the board.

I just think I'm young 'rpfc', my birth certificate keeps adding years on though...it must be lying or else I might, just might be deceiving myself.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    Champion ruckman and brilliant leader, Max Gawn earned his seventh All-Australian team blazer and constantly held the team up on his shoulders in what was truly a difficult season for the Demons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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. Date of Birth: 2 June 2001 Height: 171cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 106 Goals MFC 2024: 36 Career Total: 161 Brownlow Medal Votes: 3 Melbourne Football Club: 4th Best & Fairest: 369 votes

    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
