    All I'm suggesting is that there is clear reasoning for the major gripes.

    If the membership issue is a major loss, I suggest you volunteer your time for the club in order to better position the club.

    The easiest method of communication is via Twitter I don't see how anyone can see that, they probably didn't have very much staff in the office due to a public holiday.

    Yes it's not ideal to change the time on the day of the event, but I think the outcry it has caused is laughable.

    I still maintain that the large majority dont actually care and this majority stayed and were able to enjoy training

    none of my family or children use twitter. i'm struggling to think of neighbours and friends who do

    enjoy your laughing mm

    I don't use Twitter either, but I can still read it as it appears on the Melbourne football club website and app.

    so as i'm driving to melbourne you expect me to start up a browser session via smartphone to the mfc site then browse their twitter feed and understand all that shorthand hieroglyphics to check and see if someone has made a perfectly understandable, minor error that would only upset some cranky, negative, precious, demonland poster

    gotcha

    In one Daisy, my words to my lovely lady as we found out from Nev Jetta, (don't have a smart phone, can't stand em)...."this should be worth about five or six pages, if not a whole topic on Demonland"

    When the training is on at 9.15 I usually get there about 9.10 and do laps on my scoot for a bit of exercise until the players stroll out between 9.20 and 9.40, so was used to it

    Not sure if you are serious.

    BB is a player sponsor at the minute and has been for at least 10 years. He is also very generous to the club. I understand he spent a year volunteering his time to the club only a few years ago.

    Try aiming at one of the posters who donate nothing to the club except advice on Demonland. There are a few about, but you couldnt be more off target with BB.

    saty i didn't go, i was thinking of going and bringing my 5yo gs but unfortunately he was otherwise tied up

    i would have turned up at 11:30 so we could have had a little kick to kick on the ground

    so, i would have had to wait around for 2 hours and there is no way a 5yo would have lasted

    i then would have had to drive home with a bitterly disappointed toddler who had got a bad impression of the "demons" and try to explain it to my wife who thinks i'm a hopeless tragic anyway

    i needn't add that his mother is not a mfc supporter

    Chap was having a go at you, totally understand where you were coming from, that is why people who were miffed should have complained to the club which they did

    Good to hear of his contributions and whilst it was directed at his response it was targeted at the issue as a whole, and a majority of the people complaining would not have offered up significant time or resources to the football club

    Problems with anonymity in a forum I dont know the fella from a bar of soap.

    Exactly, though it makes it fun

    Any chance of some feedback on Hogan? Preferably before bitching about the club returns to chipping each other?

    He didn't pull up sore - he was given a couple of days to stay behind and see family in Perth.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
