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.

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.

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
