Ugh even that one-minute vid was too much. I only got to 15 seconds before wanting to kill somebody.

Sooooo… I’m a moron? Is that what you’re saying QD? And here I thought we were besties. 😭😭😭😭😭

Having my heart broken twice in 24 hours is, well, heartbreaking.  💔 

Expand  

No, not at all WCW. That's what I meant when I said "that would be okay". Anyone else - not okay. And yes, we are total besties. 

Actually, in the Positives from 2022 thread, I was going to mention that a positive for me was getting to know a couple of 'Landers somewhat better. You're definitely one of them.

I have confidence in Goody and the Club. After the horror of 2019, a significant number of hard decisions regarding the list were made. The side that won in 2021 was quite different to the ones we took into the final rounds of 2019. The Club turned it around then - I see no reason why Goody won't make hard decisions over the next couple of months and we reset for another run at it in 2023.

Yeah so thats the coaches job to that, not Kate's. Players are in capable hands under some very good. coaches there.

I'm just asking for an update considering both Kate and Gary Pert said there would be an official announcement end of last year/start of this year.

We've been waiting since.

Just on game day “entertainment”, has anyone ever actually won a prize for one of the competitions on the field at quarter time or half time?

Seriously the adulation for Kate on here is nauseating ... we get excited that she spoke to someone nicely ... where and when is our base being built? Can someone ask her that when they next have a nice chat to her?

Demonland is like any other community WCW. We come together because we are all Demons, but there are many different experiences within the Demonland community. And most people's knowledge, including QD's, is at best, partial and incomplete. Our respective horizons may be opposed dialectically. What in one is found intelligible, in another is unintelligible. What for one is true, for another is false. What for one is good, for another is evil. Each 'Lander may have some awareness of the other's viewpoint and so each in a manner may include the other. That's what we do. But we are human and all of us, at least in part, are seduced by wishful thinking, to an acceptance of myth, to ignorance or fallacy, to blindness or illusion, to backwardness or immaturity, to bad will and to a refusal of truth. Humanity is in this boat together and it's virtually inescapable.

Someone won the New Balance run against a player thing at the Collingwood game I believe (could have been Carlton). I was legitimately shocked.

I realise that. But she’s heavily invested in all MFC teams. Why should she be expected to address this issue when the firsts are no longer alive, but the seconds and the girls still are?

Expand  

Because her role is specifically to deal with off field matters.. Our coaching staff are equipped to deal with on field matters.

She can still support the teams that are still playing, im not questioning that at all.

But the silence on this matter has been deafening from both Roffey and Gary Pert. We were advised that there would be an announcement around the time I've already outlined and yet, we've heard nothing since.

Supporters are getting fed up with the lack of communication while clubs like Western Bulldogs and Richmond are approved for recent funding to upgrade their their already existing home facilities. 

Heard anything @george_on_the_outer?

Where the bloody hell were you this year? Our first finals series since winning the grand final and the club didn’t come up with anything special. Every finals game just get like another home and away game. 
 

In the past, I can remember numerous promotions run by the club in finals. In 2018, they gave out Zurich supporter flags. Years before, it was demons flashing horns for fans to wear. 
 

There was a missed opportunity this year, to do something unique and different. Many have talked about the lack of atmosphere from fans at games. Here’s an idea, get some of those inflatable clapping sticks like the do in US sports. Some will say “no thanks” - but I’d take it over novelty music between goals. It would have been better to manufacture participation that way. 
 

I can’t remember a day this year where the crowd were offered anything different, or a novelty experience. After running the premiership celebration so well, I thought we’d see something this year from marketing, but I reckon they botched the opportunity. 
 

 

Expand  

The music between goals was gross. Something bottler teams like St Kilda do. Doesn't belong in AFL, maybe an NRL thing but not AFL.

[george_on_the_outer 7,875]

Nothing. 

Given there have been announcements about Commonwealth games and Womens soccer world cup from the state government, with NOTHING about AAMI park, I suspect that NOTHING is what we are getting.

I'm expecting window dressing to cover up the " we can't tell you anything unless the politicians say so" line we have been fed for the past 2 years.
