Also Satyriconhome... definitely follow up the Matt Burgan connection... He has been sensational on the Club's site.

Satyriconhome, I know you are having a bit of fun but I thought I would add an explanation anyhow... Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, who was frequently a featured writer and speaker in the mass media throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Margaret Mead was a woman who blended knowledge and action. Time, in fact, named her "Mother of the World" in 1969. Fearless in the face of controversy, Mead refused to temper the passions of her positions on the (social) issues of the time.

leehow, great move!

Jerry Lundergard I like the way you are thinking. You might also be able to use the club's Facebook page to remind others that a special training 'event' is planned for Friday at Gosch's Paddock, 9:45am

Fantastic effort champagne football!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead.

Is there some way we can get a coffee van there?

Good ideas from Chippy and champagne football

Let's swell the numbers... Bring your kids, it's still school holidays. Hell, bring the whole school! I rang my sister and she's coming in before work. It's also a good idea to contact other friends who barrack for the Dees. Most people will make the effort if a friend asks directly. Don't leave it to chance... make the call!

Love the feedback... special mention to those prepared to take time off work. I usually park under the Swan St Railway Bridge (2 hour limit) and walk a few hundred yards to the ovals. This area fills in by about 9:30am. If tomorrow is busy, might have to park further East along Swan St and catch tram.

I'm over Caroline Wilson, Jake Niall, Mark Robinson, Jon Ralph, Jay Clark, Neil Mithchell et al... writing the MFC story. It is time we took control of the MFC story.

old dee, that's further motivation to rally. How surprised will the blood suckers be as they realise a new story is developing

I believe an achievable outcome is 150 - 200 supporters... but, just for a moment let me dream... What if 1000 supporters turned up? Wouldn't that create unprecedented publicity and make the football world sit up and realise that the MFC is alive and well and able to deal with it's problems and move onward and upward? 1000 supporters at training on a Friday morning... what would that mean to the playing group? How would that galvanise the group? Are there any other dreamers out there?

Just posted this over at 'ology "If anyone knows of ways to advertise this 'event' widely, now is the time to tap into your resources. It is about gathering around our boys in a show of solidarity. It is about support. It is a symbolic gesture intended to communicate that we will see this through together. "

Wizza... explore every option!

Goodvibes, that was a killer!

I attempted to post on the MFC Facebook page but it seemed to be blocked. If anyone wants to have a go at this, be my guest...

Excellent Wizza!

Well spoken Irish Demon. Today is the day for ideas and action. The task of attracting a large number to what will be a short training session on Friday morning is challenging. Any ideas are welcome here.

Yes Striker 475... I don't know if James could be the answer as midfield coach but the sooner he is back in the MFC fold the better.

I like your analysis Outside fifty... and your advice!

I'm with you Demon_Chef

Caro has a direct line to AFL. She relies on a wide network of informers and insiders. They use her to pull a few strings, she gets [censored]-bits in return. That is why her grand-standing about corrupt practice is so hypocritical.

I would like to encourage all Demon supporters to attend training on Friday. Whatever our opinions and feelings about the current plight of the MFC, I'm sure we can agree on one thing; we'll always be Demons! It is obvious that our team are playing without confidence. Many of them are young and inexperienced. Several are new to the club. When big things happen it is easy for rank and file supporters to despair about having any influence. I believe if we can get 150 - 200 supporters to training on Friday morning it won't go unnoticed by the playing group. It will give them a lift! It will send a strong message of support, a sign of unity, "We will stick by you through thick and thin". I believe it could have an immediate impact on how they perform on the weekend. Here is a rare opportunity for the ground roots supporter to make a strong (and public) statement about our love for our brand. Give it a try, be part of the turn-around!
