I doubt it, we have a vanilla flavoured Pres.

 

I might be in the minority, but I like a 'vanilla flavoured' President.  He can do what needs to be done behind the scenes and let others, like PJ, Mahoney and Goody do the talking.  He's done that well so far and worked really well with all areas of the club.  We can't ask for much more than that.

Well he did address the camp situation so you would have found that exciting.

Okay.  I'll bite.  What did he say?

Yes, it was very diplomatically swept under the carpet...

As you would expect or hope.  He played it all down as a non-event, somewhat unconvincingly I thought, and mumbled about there being a camp in January.  The word 'boot' was not mentioned in respect of that so some here will think that means the will be sitting around a camp fire singing kumbyah while toasting marshmallows.

Oh good. I thought that negative supporters might bring it up after every loss we have.

Guess that won't happen now. ;)

The only thing he mentioned that i found interesting was, that PJ was put in place by the AFL, i always suspected this, but to hear it said from the Prez just shows how bad the club really was in 2013

If we get thumped by Jeelong in Round 1 at home, it won’t just be Melbourne Supporters remembering. 

Players had better win early games...

How will we ever cope with other supporters giving us grief?

Yes, and if we had done the bootcamp and lost the first round, no doubt supporters would be blaming the bootcamp for taking too much out of the players.   Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

That's surprising I have heard Board members very adamantly deny that. They claim he was put forward by the AFL and they looked at him along with other candidates and the Board made its own decision in the end. 

The AFL saying you either put PJ in or we cut off your money had absolutely nothing to do with the DEEcision.  :)

Low expectations have been a mainstay of this club over the last decade or so.

Other camp in January is the semi regular Maroochydore one.

Nope , unions been involved and toastings out.
Nothing more dangerous than throwing them at each other providing eye protection is supplied.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
