Yeah I don’t see it that way - I think all he ever does is try and share his love for the club. Now, Saty and his partner have not always seen eye to eye with me either - but I think I was more at fault there. I’ve learnt more from meeting him than he knows. But each to their own

Ok fair enough well said, but I’m not walking away from saying Saty is one of the most loyal, passionate Demons supporters you will ever meet. He and his lovely partner go to nearly ever game for as long as I can remember- he bleeds red & blue. So he is 10 x a better supporter than I will ever be.

Yeah but some people have been saying that for the last 4 years - it’s the same small group in nearly every thread - same tactics - just they attack another poster. I don’t think they will ever learn. Saty, is one of the most loyal passionate MFC supporters you would ever meet - he is 10 times a better supporter than me and may I add the “trolls” attacking him.

Yeah interesting reply - thanks for taking the time.

Thats the glaring problem when you just focus on pure numbers. The only meaningful number from memberships should be - Net Profit. What I've always wondered is ... How profitable are Armchair Memberships, 3 game MFC members and MCC Demons allocated members.

Shame CB did not have the ability to sell himself optimism - but such is life.

Fair enough - However, in todays game coaches love players that can win their own football - winning the contested ball is everything. Funny enough I reckon our position will be strengthened or weakened depending on what we decide to do with Lewis & Vince. Fun times ahead.

Or exactly what I said we would pay before the trade went thru ( I even made a bet on this site ) and exactly what Peter Jackson confirmed after the trade went thru. Adelaide opted for the 2 x first rounders due to the fact this years draft in full of talented SA kids - so no go home factor - and we were more than happy to oblige. Lever was a bargain due to the Crows internal player payment structure - but that payment structure has worked well for them in the past just in this instance we took advantage of it. Wines needs to be our priority this year, followed by Gaff as a free agent. I think we will easily have the cap room - Port wont have, but Ollie is very loyal. Gaff think the salary would be similar on either side of the country - just a matter of does he want to come home.

The longer you wait the more likely they will all be sold out - every club has only a limited allocation. Ball is in your court - if you miss out you can really only blame yourself. But, I’m sure some will blame the club or the AFL such is life.

Port can only demand the equivalent compensation to what they are paying him - last year we got Lever for equivalent to pick 5. Wines is probably not quite to the value of pick 5 but it would be close - so easily doable if he nominated the Demons. Dont “lock it in yet Eddy” but Port have taken a huge gamble and it’s not paying off yet.

Don’t disagree Gaff has to be a target. But our number 1 target needs to be Ollie Wines - Port have bet the farm and at this stage things are not going well.

Consider this, what are the things they did right. Write a list if you have to - only write positive things on the list. Then how many things on the list can you personally change? Then start working on those ie buy another membership, donate $10, start a thread talking about what you liked about Charle Spargo etc

Yes, for sure but you have to realise you can’t always be right, you can’t always win, not everybody will like you, you will make mistakes. But when you are positive you will see opportunities others can’t - just do the best you can and again do more of what you do well. Our players are very committed and are learning and improving every game. Now all we need to do is support them and give them the resources they need to rise and repeat more consistently.

As an optimist you will live longer, earn more money and builder longer and happier relationships. Football is only a game your life won’t change if we win or lose - don’t worry about all issues out of your control. Football is not life or death. Are you still breathing- then it’s a good day. Focus on today, focus on your strengths and do more of them every day. But have balance recognise you will win some - you will lose some. Ignore social media , ignore negative people - they will try to bring you down because of their problems in life. Go Demons
