I signed my 15month old up last week -the question I pose to you is , am I a [censored] of a father, or will I be teaching him some inherent valuable life lesson in resilience?

He'll thankyou for it ;)

    Is that what Good Friday's for? I've often wondered.

    Not any longer the AFL's greed killed it.

    Not sure I agree, Old dee. I don't think it's greed. In this instance I think the AFL could argue that they were responding to the wishes of the community. I'm confident that more in the community support a game on Good Friday than those that don't.

    Of course, if that argument holds up, there shouldn't be a twilight Grand Final. And, to be fair, so far there isn't.

    You can justify every decision with " we are catering to the community wishes" I don't know a single person who has the desire for a football game on Good Friday. 

    The community wanted the AFL to sanction the Essendon players but did they?

    Not until they were dragged there by ASADA and WADA.

    The AFL is a veracious money beast pure and simple IMO.

    That's why you sign them up straight after birth while the wife is still in the hospital. Come back with a baby size Demons jumper and scarf. Deal done.

    I did that and ended up with a Richmond supporter!

    I have a simple deal with my kids: food and shelter is only given to Melbourne supporters. They'll thank me for it someday. Or put me in a really dodgy home.

    Seriously BD?

    You need a little realignment.

    I'm not a fan of Good Friday footy. The Easter Bunny died for our sins that day, and we should really do nothing that day but eat buns decorated with his murder weapon.

     

    Hmmm. Just thinking: should they be called Hot Cross Bunnies?

    Sounds accurate to me UF.

    I had never considered that they should be Hot Cross Bunnies

    Let's get this thread back on track and focus on record membership numbers! I know that there are many Demonlanders content with breaking last year's record, others who are targeting 40,000, but personally I feel that we should go all-out to go for 45,000!

    There is no reason why we can't get to 40K in the next week (after a decisive win on Saturday) and a further boost the following week after we dispense with the Top-of-the-ladder Tigers. 45,000 is not a pipe-dream so let's chase up the numbers!

    Can't quite understand why some wouldn't want footy on a Friday night or any night for that matter.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
