The pressure on the Board will be enormous. Do they stare the media down or do they accept that the truth of the matter is the media are right. I hate the muck-rakers being right so I'm prepared to stare them down like Hird did (to date). Neeld gets the year!

Tommy fumbles too much, but he fronts up for the next contest and doesn't drop his head or blame others. He is a keeper but not The General. The General is missing! We lack at least one big bodied gun in the backline NOTE: recruiters.

6 N Jones 5 Sylvia 4 Clark 3 M Jones 2 Viney 1 Grimes Terlich was a goer and holds his place Tapscott may have got a vote but for the three clangers in a row in the third right in front of me. Cheers to Davey and Howe for a couple of highlights that got me off my seat!

I am also critical of the 5 or 6 free kicks WC received inside their forward 50. I can't remember any for us (although my son remembers 1) even when there was a passage of play in the third where there were two blatant free kicks denied. I'll watch it again... but I also noted that WC got an 'ify' free out of the centre to start both the First and Third quarter.

I put this angle on it. First & Second quarters = respectful / competitive. Final quarter = overpowered by bigger, more experienced opposition / hung in there. This brings me to Third quarter... Everything expressed in this thread is valid. I suggest we (and the coaches / players) focus all their energy on the Third quarter. Everything we need to learn should be evident. I would appreciate fellow posters watching the third closely and providing a detailed analysis.

"... like seagulls following a fishing boat" I love that image. Good read providing a balance as always

Well, positive publicity on both Ch9 and Ch7 news. That is not only a good story for the MFC, the AFL will be breathing a sigh of relief as well. My 200 friends, you have achieved something that money can't buy. You have restored the vision of LaTrobe, Wills & Harrison when they formed the rules of this great game or thought that Gosch's Paddock would be a good place for people to recreate!

posdee, great minds think alike! The Demon Army were sensational in being loud and proud. I dips me lid to you all! This is what Unity is all about, bringing the various Demon tribes together to change the way we are popularly represented.

frankie_d, awesome! Hey mate, how do you imbed the video and not just the link?

Here's the video from this morning's Training if you haven't seen it http://youtu.be/6eCCb6HCrdc

I want to congratulate everyone who got down to Gosch's Paddock this morning. Particular thanks to the family who bought the floggers and led the songs and chants. I have been listening to the positive press that has been generated and it has brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. This is a clear example of what 200 dedicated supporters can achieve by remaining positive and finding a voice. Imagine the power of 30,000 if they all turn up at the MCG tomorrow and practice having a united and positive voice... what could our team achieve then?

It'll be a few hours before the video is up.

drdrake, spot on!

Now I'm going to edit my film... stay tuned!

fatmanblues, I use iphone app called photo transfer to get pics onto computer. Then I upload them to a site called Imageshack. Once they are there you select an image to get a direct link (a complicated set of letters and numbers ending in .jpg). You can copy and paste this link on Demonland by clicking on the image button where you write your reply to the topic. Hope this helps
