Thats a quality pick up.

Well done MFC?

Agree and not bad for a club that finished 2nd last in 19. To obtain New Era and keep the others is a great thing for the club.

I'd really like to see the Demons be innovative with New Era and come out with some new designs as opposed to the traditional emblems. 

In the US they have so many great hat designs for the different sporting teams and I think we can be a trend setter in Oz.

Yes agree the Partnership Team is doing a great job given the on field performances and the negative social media some of our so called supporters post last season.

Are they? I think they have been a big disappointment and underachiever. Very little value added for sponsors or clever leveraging of club assets. Stability a massive issue too.

This is one area the club could greatly improve on and desperately needs to.

Worrying about over-commercialising our assets is idiocy. Not sure what they think we’re protecting; all we’re doing is stopping ourselves from being successful off-field.

So you feel that there are a number of companies out there that are willing to part with 6 figures or higher to a club that finished seconded bottom? and what assets do you see that the club is holding back on? It looks easy when you are sitting behind a keyboard.

Mate, you'd be surprised what I'm privy to. The sad fact is that we're severely underperforming off-field, culture has taken a downward turn under Pert, and the excuses of under-resourcing due to budget-cutting won't wash as the same issues were present last year.

The place needs more good people and operators, and to stop making amateurish decisions.

It is my strong opinion that it is fact. However an intangible like culture can never be proven as fact. But certain events and attitudes are fact.

Maybe a difficult concept for some?

Either way, you should be concerned about the direction of our club.

I'm not saying you're wrong mate, just trying to clarify.

FWIW I do have concerns about certain things in non-playing/coaching departments, hence why I was pushing for more information.

Cheers.

I’m not going to state it outright. More scrutiny is required though.

I wasn't trying to bait you. You made a statement which now appears to be only an opinion of yours.

    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.
