Thanks for your contribution and support, Demon Stalwart

Not on AFL site yet

Do any of you revolutionaries ever ask yourselves why Caro wants CS sacked? Do you think it's because she has the interests of the MFC at heart? I'm reluctant to join her parade because she has been lose with the truth and she has bagged our Club and our reputation beyond my tolerance!

nicely put jnrmac...Sheedy is already on his superannuation plan!

"3AW's Neil Mitchell has become one of many high-profile Demons calling for his sacking." ... High profile Demon? Oh paleease!

Let Sheeds prove that he can turn GWS's fortunes around!

OMG, and I thought Ralph had The Pulitzer in his pocket!

Well Frickme, Ralph reckons we will be 500,000 plus down because the AFL is taking that amount off us (I heard they were going to stagger the fine!!!) and our attendance numbers will be down because we are predicted to have next to no wins in 2013. That guy Ralph should be nominated for The Pulitzer!

I can only think of Grimes (for grit) and Howe (running ability) as possible close-down-Watson options. Anyone else got any clues?

GL was very clear about why he got involved previously and he said he stood by his decisions on personnel... Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Caro asked for CS's sacking and referred to the demoralising effects of positioning the team in the best place to receive priority picks... Well what a surprise!

I don't suppose McKenzie dropping out one minute before the game had anything to do with a lack of pressure on the Brownlow medallist... Oh that's right, there must have been a heap of teams who had trouble holding Watson to low figures in 2012

Strapping Young Lad, you have made my night! Great contribution by you when so many others are bagging the family! Welcome here and enjoy the beers, whoever is buying!

Ok P_Man... that's the sort of dis-connect that can be alleviated without a with-hunt and a hanging. There were times when the message from one of the most highly regarded coaches in AFL history wasn't getting through (ref Shane Zantuck incident circa 84)...

Range Rover, I think you will find that both Connolly and Robbo were suprised by the number of Demon supporters who are prepared to stick up for the Club and Club personnel . They have subsequently watered down their initial comments. You may be surprised to find that there was a peak in membership sales tonight. That's what being a supporter is all about... getting behind the front-line when the heat is on.

Great post Webber!

P_Man... "He raised the apparent disconnect between the coach and the players" Are you sure this is not a beat-up? I haven't heard a current player speak poorly of Neeld. I haven't heard any evidence that the playing group feels disconnected. Are you merely drawing this conclusion from physical evidence presented as 'the pre-game address'? I'm hearing that that piece of video was shot a few hours before the game. This may be incorrect, but what if it was shot quite a bit before the players ran out? ... Wouldn't that go part of the way to explaining the players being laid-back? I've also heard commentators referring to Neelds twitch and strained facial expression as a sign of his crubling under the pressure. If they had done their homework they would be aware that he has had corrective surgery for a damaged nerve and he has some involuntary muscle contortions.

I have taken the liberty of pasting nineteens membership report from another thread as it highlights what is possible when a group of supporters team together to make a difference, even in the darkest hours. "Coming in on the train [Monday] I figured for maybe 5 volunteers .... & two would be crying before the night was out - I was going to be one!! Arrived after 5.30 to a meeting area full of volunteers, plus two in club colours. Saw Mark Neeld & Neil Craig in the group & turned around thinking wrong office. But it was us. Mark & Neil really mixed into the group [team' photo will be posted] & boosted our project. Punch & Judy wanted to sing the song, but fortunately ......... The night took off from there & we achieved 40 sign ups - nearly best for the year. Great under the circumstances. Three new volunteers joined 'in our darkest hour' & Catherine, Cheryl & Dave did beautifully. Tim, Julian, Geoff, Pete, Judy, Michael & Anne made up the quorum. My feel is that many volunteers & supporters have traditionally been sitting on the fence. These 'dark cloud days' have shuffled the balance to the extent that we have many more deciding now is the time to sign &/or volunteering. [No doubt the despair group has also grown]. The net benefit is our group is stronger & growing. Tx to Mark & Neil for coming along & genuinely getting involved. Great night folks - well done. Lets go again."

It's highly amusing to hear wannabe rebel rousers complain that another club seems unified
