BB had been warned multiple times not to bypass the profanity filter. Perhaps that rule will sink in over his holiday. 

The filter is there for a reason yet BB continually felt the need to show everyone the exact curse word he wanted to use. 

That is your right as owners/ controllers of Demonland.

I know you are very controversial at times OD but I never took you as being so provocative it would result in BB getting banned!!

Not sure what to make of that RN.

2019 is a strange throw back year.

The MFC seems to have regressed back to the bad old days both on and off the field.

Oh well it is not as though it is a new experience.

There is always next year.

an advocate for getting rid of Hogan.

We did do the correct thing in this.

Unfortunately Hogan was not the answer,  for Us.   We will come out of all this,  a stronger team and club.

Anyone can see now,  that even with Hogan playing with us as he did last season,  we would be nowhere near the top eight,  with so many players down and injured,  or NQR in fitness.

All of our players including Gawn have been off in form early this season.

We need this Gap season to refresh our list...  and add to it.

You can tell a thread is dead when all thats left is posters getting stuck into each other.... ?

I think a topic is dead when Nazis, Hitler or Eddie McGuire is mentioned. EG, Some posters are like Hitler and they think Eddie is a Nazi.

That should do it!

I’ve said in other posts I have a cousin who played at GC in same era and he was told he knew what he was doing and given no training program.

Hey Wrecker - I'm struggling to comprehend this post. Can you rephrase and switch out some of the pronouns? Or just like if my assumption is correct: I’ve said in other posts I have a cousin who played at GC in same era and May was told by the MFC that May knew what May was doing as a professional footballer and given no training program by Melbourne?

His Cousin played for GC and was told (I’m guessing during the off-season) that he knew what he was doing and he didn’t need a training program given to/created for him (whilst it was off-season). This is how I read it.

Thanks for highlighting my deficiencies in English. My spoken language.

My cousin played for GC with May. I see my cousin a few times a year and every Christmas Day. A couple of years ago when he moved from another club to GC, he told me on Christmas day, (over a few beers! that he had been told by GC to just continue what he was doing. The GC had no program for him. My cousin was professional the Gold Coast weren’t.

That this is a ‘breaking story’ is the stuff of Working Dog’s Frontline television series. It seems pretty clear it was not actually ‘a big drinking session’ as claimed by Tom Morris on OTC.

I reckon Steven May will turn out to be a bloody good player for us. And this is not a big deal, albeit it is an issue that the club seems not to have not handled particularly well.

It all points to a quiet news day in Melbourne on Monday.

 

I loved Frontline. There should be another series done now. There would be an overflow of good material to choose from. The culture of media is getting out of hand. Some people with a phone in their hand think they have a right to spy and report on anyone who is in the public eye, no matter how far down the "celebrity" chain they are.

A few losses and Mr president of the mfcss old dee says we are doing bad of field. How are we worse off field then last year?

I agree, when you’re hated by the opposition ( including myself) it means you’re doing something right

Yes look at the hate for Hawthorn, I would love to be hated that much with all those flags over the last 50 years. Remind me how many have we won in that period?

Ditto.  Eddie occasionally blubbers on a little and puts the odd foot in it but mostly rolls ok and has good intentions IMO.  Some just talk the talk (yes Eddie does that with aplomb) but Eddie walks the walk.

Speaking of drinking sessions, thought this might lighten the mood a little...

Brilliant. Deep, concerned, focussed conversations. Absolute mutual respect maintained. Good to see blokes having an exchange at this level of thoughtful communication. Thanks, Beetle.

When even the 'Nosy Vicar' of the AFL, Damien Barrett, says an behaviour incident is being blown out of proportion, you know there's not much to see.

    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

    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.
