2020 Financials: Reduced Debt Despite Loss
Demons1858 replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Fair enough ... I think I'm more annoyed they claim to be paying off debt while making a loss without mentioning they had sold down assets to be able to do that -
2020 Financials: Reduced Debt Despite Loss
Demons1858 replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Don't like the fact that the Leighoak sale isn't mentioned in any of the financial updates, a bit deceiving and trust takes a bit of a hit as a result. They also liquidated their assets ... more information please! -
Good to see we get our 2 blockbusters as home games in 2021 given covid ruined the 2020 plans $$$
-
Perhaps even Ben Hilfenhaus

Alot of the posts on here suggest we pulled a rabbit out of the hat by signing Williams. Reality is that no one wanted him and he was desperate for an AFL job to the point he was ringing around. Having said that it doesn't mean he isn't the right person for the job and with the new footy club softcap you need coaches that have multiple facets. Have high hopes he can instill belief and a winning mindset that sees us embrace must win games. Also prefer he does his job in the background away from media

l was invited to read out my question on zoom and was happy to do so. l. believe the club chose me on the basis that my question followed a common theme of interest. Having a succinct question and being a 25 year member may also have helped

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - FRASER ROSMAN
Demons1858 replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
never needed fixing. nice pick though and looks to have some tools to work with -
he said he was in the last 3 in his sacked podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/sacked-mark-williams-the-power-to-win/id1470557961?i=1000447367888

jackson pushed for him as ceo only after failing to attract a successor with matching experience
-
Excellent coach and can push a more ruthless approach, just needs to shut up sometimes
-
l think the 1st year can be a learning year to understand what is required. so still see him as a quick adaptor given he did what he did in the 2nd year and went from fat to fit very quickly
-
Some players 'get it' earlier than others like Oliver, Viney and apply themselves from the beginning. Not just at training and the extra sessions many do but well above that. Petracca perhaps took longer than he may have but is there now. Gawn by his own admission took longer for it to click.Its when you know you have an emerging A grader. some don't ever get it like sylvia
-
moving him up field is good in theory and mfc have tried him up field a couple of times and his deficiencies show through. maybe he has matured since but lacks a yard of pace, instinctive thinking, and is very. one sided. love him at half back
-
If true, I imagine MFC have said he needs to get the 2021 preseason program set up and going and also handover to a 2nd in charge before they consider terminating the contract
-
Doubt he has the motivation to move states and find the new and smart tricks you need to stay relevant at his age
-
Still find it a bit odd that we traded next year's 1st round pick for this years given the club has said they thought the draft was weaker

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN

You could interpret that as being a last call for bidders to try and leap frog back into contention after being told the house was on the market and above reserve price -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Demons1858 replied to Dee tention's topic in Melbourne Demons
ben held out for a better deal pre covid after getting a good offer from norf, why expect any different now. trade period hasn't even started and clubs always up the ante when they get nervous -
Benefit is he can fill two roles as a backup forward or more importantly a backup ruck. Mitch Brown is only a back up forward and would move on if we acquire him in my opinion. Good move
-
Pretty good coin for a 24 goal forward. Don't think gws really want to pay that much for him but they have called the cats bluff after they committed to him. Awesome to see.

... edited as the post was meant for the jeremy cameron thread -
Norf likely to have to pay for some of his salary if he moves ...
-
With the soft cap coming down and the team under performing, staff will understand that change is necessary and that keeping a job (almost any job) is the most important thing. Mahoney will get his head around that if he hasn't already.
-
Training or motivation was never an issue with Jessie while a MFC. He was always super fit despite what might have been going on behind the scenes and with the his and his dads health. He has had two significant foot injuries in recent times and the risk of getting another would be high I suspect. Probably gets easily frustrated with being in rehab and lets things get to him and does some silly but mostly harmless things
-
I feel like we don't have the complete story on his reoccurring ankle injury as he has been super competitive for us prior to that when playing in defence and in attack. Looks to have lost confidence in his movements as much as anything. Is a favourite player of mine and hope if he stays his body gives him the chance to get to his best again
