How good is it being represented by Glen Bartlett and Peter Jackson at the GM you can now start to sense the strength that is steadily growing at the MFC. After our last two faulty starts we are about to become a meaningful Club again. Wahoooo!!!

Plus Roos, Goodwin, McCartney, Mahoney and Co. also help (without neglecting our recruiting team)!

- A/c was working!

- Paul Roos not there.

- Big round of applause from all in attendance when GB mentioned 2 year contract extension for PJ

- Club was aiming internally for 7 wins this season.  Didn't say they were satisfied with that, as could/should have won many more, but just that it was their target. 

- PJ went through financials, happy with progress. Expects profit next year in the range of $300-$400k. Provided reason for slight drop but dont remember specifics. Was something to do with extra costs related to the refurbishment of something, somewhere...

- Life members presented. Rivers & the Skipper got up to speak, Sylvia absent as he had shoulder reconstruction yesterday.

- Only question of note from the floor is why the AGM is being conducted a week before Christmas rather than the usual early Feb.  Answer was that it is a better time of year to do it as in Feb (2016) we want to be gearing up for new season, rather than looking back.

- New players introduced.  Olivier is quite a bit taller than I expected.  Melksham, Weed, Bugg & Olivier all did a quick interview with Goodwin. Oliver a bit like a deer in headlights. Poor fella looked very nervous. Made reference to himself being a dead ringer to Jordie McKenzie which got a good laugh.

- Goodwin is a very funny man

- Saty has spray painted his hair fluro orange

Thanks for report. I'm not sure if it was deliberate, but to name our number 1 draft pick after one who many would say was the greatest at his craft of all time works for me. I'm quite happy with the nickname of Lord Olivier.

Well, I don't know if it was spray paint per se....  but otherwise, 100%

Saw something on Twitter about some limitations on questions.

What was that about?

I was there WJ and no limitations.

They asked for questions and only three were asked.

Have no idea what that was about.

Plus one attendee got up to ostensibly ask a question, but stated that she'd now like to hear from our coach in waiting, thus brought an end to the Q&A component onf the night!

No real revelations for me from all this, I did not when looking through the Annual Report that we extended our Lease at Aami Park for another 5 years midyear, not sure

if that was reported anywhere, with an option of another rolling 6 year lease after that.

Extensive renovations to the Leigh Oak had been delayed, and thus part of a debt to the Westpac for this was not included in this years financials, so expect that to hit our bottom line next year.

Cash bar afterwards was exorbitantly priced as usual.

Yeah, I saw him at training with the orange hair. He also painted his beard blue too (no joke).

I can imagine. Loved him in Spartacus.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
