The numbers required to emphasize our support will not happen by chance. We'll need to make a concerted effort to reach the people.

Words of professed wisdom from the person formerly known as Range Rover; "Do not hand this club over any more of your $$$ or a minute more of your precious time until sweeping changes are made" Words that have infinitely more relevance from Satyriconhome; "Nineteen asked me to pass on our work tonight on yet another interesting day at MFC Turned up at the G unaware to be greeted by shattered staff, if the CEO is hated by some, the staff loved him 15 of us turned up tonight which was great, Jason, Daniel, Andrew, Cheryl, Geoff, Dave, Michael, Michael, Stephen, Anne, Chelsea, Judith, Trish, Peter and Geoff who had to leave early, thanks to everybody who turned up including the newbies Surprisingly we still managed 22 sign ups but importantly about 300-500 phone calls Some of us managed to chat to Cameron, who made the effort to come and thank us for turning up to support the Club, and yes I shook his hand again I congratulated him on a couple of things that will be a lasting legacy, the emblem and the blazer, the players all love it, and in case any of the doubters want to question, I hand out scarves on Match Day and we had 18yr old Nathan Stark with us last Saturday, I asked him what he thought of the Blazer and he loves it. I have made a point of asking the others as well...so thanks Cameron for giving us an individual identity back...and thanks for the thanks....and the joke about applying for job at AFL HQ The Membership staff really do appreciate the help, so next Monday or Tuesday if you want, contact Nineteen on here."

The real and obvious difference between Cameron Schwab and you is that he conducted himself with dignity

Well done to all the contributers to this thread on this page (13). This was an excellent debate without chest-thumping, or grand-standing. A high standard that others should aspire to.

I like your perspective Macca, and I agree. There is more to come, but in the mean time let's hope the team settles into a more effective playing style.

stuie, that Nicholson gif is sensational!

There is no such concept as 50 years a Demon... there is only A Demon For Life!

I like to rake a little muck on muck-rakers... The Ten Cricket Chuckers The Sunday Age Sunday October 28, 2007 Warwick Green 10. Patrick Smith (1970s) Best known in these parts as a belligerent columnist first with The Age and then The Australian, Smith was equally aggressive as an opening bowler for district club Prahran in the 1970s. He once copped a two-week ban for following through and chesting a batsman to the ground. Smith was also said to have a questionable action, although he was never called. In one Victorian second-XI match against Western Australia, he opened the bowling with Rodney Hogg. Leading umpire Bill Smythe, looking on from the boundary, was heard to declare that Smith was a chucker. Smythe went to Prahran training the next week, and after watching on from square-leg, suggested to Prahran and ACB chairman Bob Parish that Smith needed some remedial work on his action. Now, ask yourself, "is this the man that should be leading the chorus on sports ethics?"

You speak a lot of sense Supreme_Demon... far more than the (once) fast bowler.

the sound of one hand clapping

ingeniokinetic, beautifully (and accurately) put. What a magnificent contrast to RR you have provided in a single sentence that outweighs every self-serving statement RR has excreted on these boards for what seems an eternity.

I judge the quality of demonland posts by asking this question, would they wear their site name to MFC training? I challenge Range Rover to attend training on Friday morning wearing his moniker.

I have the same attitude as Don Scott when it comes to outside help!

Disgraceful Dees don't deserve their place in AFL by:Patrick Smith From:The Australian April 08, 201312:00AM .... If that doesn't motivate you to get to training on Friday morning, nothing will!

The thing I love about your avatar Range Rover is the top part would fit where you think the sun shines... that's the image I have everytime I read your powder puff revolutionary diatribe... Keep posting, I love a laugh!

Just watched the Ch9 sports news which featured Tiger supporters turning up at Punt Road to support their boys. How easy is it to roll up when your team is on a roll compared with turning up on Friday morning for our lot. I'm certain we can have an immediate effect on the psyche of our players if we turn up in unexpected number (is 200 too much to expect?) this Friday. Go Dees!

Here's an example of the negative spin we can expect from the sports journalists that inhabit our major newspapers... "McLardy said Schwab had divided the Demons fans and the club had to move on from a disastrous four years with Schwab in charge" - Jay Clark McLardy, of course, did not intimate that we had suffered a disasterous four years because Schwab was in charge. McLardy was referring to a wide range of difficulties the club had faced in the period (including the death of an icon). He was not holding Schwab responsible for all of those difficulties.

There will still be a lot of negative spin about MFC tomorrow and beyond. All the more reason now to show the players we are supporters.

Caroline Wilson asked McLardy why he said there wouldn't be sackings yesterday then decided today to terminate him... Now the answer was to do with Unity, but I would have turned the question back on Caroline. "Caroline, you wrote that Cameron was on thin ice in this morning's newspaper, how did you arrive at that position?"

Cameron Schwab = Class Act... If there ever was any doubt watch the whole presser. Class Act is a condition that is a Universe away from some who have posted here.

I know of at least one person who is intending to bring a "Sack Caroline Wilson" banner... I think that individual will be made far more welcome than an individual using the occasion to have a go at CS. Oh, and mjt, to envisage such an individual being representative of MFC people is a bridge too far for you!

It's actually thrilling to watch who posters are aligning themselves with during the witch-hunt. Reminds me a lot of Game Of Thrones...

Here is the training announcement. Upcoming open training sessions: Friday 12th April - 9:45am - Gosch's Paddock All systems go for Friday morning. An achievable aim would be 150 - 200 supporters. So let's go! This gives us time to mobilise family and friends. I am open to the Facebook idea as long as we attract like-minded Demon supporters. The focus should be a simple message to the players, "we will back you - we are in this for the long haul - we believe in you"
