Brad Greens letter to members
Outside of addressing the online post; that is a pretty toothless response when some serious action is needed.

Time to go Goody?
As much as losing like this really socks, surely this result will start the ball rolling in some coaching/staff changes.

POSTGAME: Rd 20 vs St. Kilda
What's Nathan Buckley's ph number?
-
Where is Fritta going
At 28 and based on his body of work this season I would not be making a massive offer (give up a first wound selection) if I was a rival club.

NON-MFC: Round 19
Tipping the Dogs as my upset for the weekend.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
My Demonitis has a bad feeling about today.
-
State of Origin
State of Origin was great in the 80/90s but it's has lost its cache.
-
Wildcard Weekend
I dont know if the AFL comes up with these ideas themselves or pay consultants to come up ideas that a five year old could devise. I’d prefer that my team sell a home game to Antartica than participate in whatever they come up with.
-
Josh Mahoney to depart Essendon.
Would have him back tomorrow, he is a great operator and we need his skillset to return.
-
Time to go Goody?
Bergman would be a walk up start but otherwise yes we had more than enough talent to win this game.

Umpiring standard
Option 3 would destroy the aesthetics of the game, just look at VAR in Football/Soccer. If you watch state league football you will notice the depth in umpiring does not exist and the AFL does seem to want to invest the millions required due to other priorities (whatever they happen to be). I would agree returning to 3 umpires and simplifying some interpretations (ie: Deliberate. HTB) would be the best move forward.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
We lost because we cannot convert I50, a problem that has been ongoing for the last 3 years. Umpiring was average but this is not on them.
-
The Alice Game
I was at the game and was surprised to see as many St Kilda supporters as dees fans, particularly when it came to merchandise sales too. It seems that after 10 years we have made minimal community impact which is really disappointing. I think it's time to find a new location (country Victoria) or as members pay a little extra.

The Jake Melksham appreciation thread
Value for money he is one of the best trades the club has pulled off.

NON-MFC: Round 12
I think the Big Lady entered when Brisbane ran through there banner, lol.

Geelong to be fined over 3rd party payments
Please tell me this is not fake news???
-
Jordan Lewis
Unless Brayshaw or Serong have a sudden burning desire to leave Fremantle then its a simple no. Love Jacko but if he does want to return to the Dees, this can be done via a separate trade.
-
Short Boundary Throw Ins
Watch state league football and the standard of Throw Ins is even worse. I think as @binman has touched on during the Demonland Podcasts, there is simply not enough investment into improving the standard of umpiring and encouraging those to pursue it as a career path. And for some reason the media do not want to talk about this?
- WTF – only one game in Melbourne next week?
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Sydney at the MCG has often been a real banana skin game, hopefully today is not that day.
-
The Soccer thread
Well done to Big Ange but not sure if this result will save his career. My gut tells me Tottenham will be looking for another manager next season.
-
AFL Betting
There are a lot of things on phones which needs to end, including betting and gaming. If only someone could end Tik Tok as well.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Amazing result and peeved off a tonne of Essendon fans at the same time. Perfect weekend :)
-
4th Quarter blues
You can also cannot underestimate mental fatigue particularly as putrid goalkicking does not help the situation.

CLARRY IS NOT A TAGGER
Sadly I dont even know if Clarry knows who he is these days.
