WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
We are not the most enticing club to come to right now. Tomlinson is about the best we can do right now. How do you sell a team that finishes 2nd bottom, has no real place to call home, survives on the coat tails of the past and doesn't have any fight off the field let alone on it.

Frosty needs to tidy his sprint form, arms are to wide.

When big clubs stop being big clubs
Be worth the MCC members to stay away from the players race when we lose. Clapping the players off when they put in a good effort but lose should not be tolerated. Is it too much to only want wins? Auskick kids play to have fun, professionals play for their future.

Minor rant
Yep, "Learnings" bugs me. But not as much as "I am Humbled and honoured" What [censored] started this. Humble is an outside description someone gives another. To describe yourself as "Humbled" tells me you are an absolute illiterate [censored].

Jones Re-Signs for 2020
And Hawks to win the 2019 premiership... oh wait.

Get Neita to release a Rum. That stuff is more of a "Demon drink".

The Stephen Coniglio Thread
Correct, Gold Coast have a failed Rugby League team that even had King Wally Lewis playing for them. The team had 4 name changes and nothing brought the fans in for the long haul. Clive Palmer had the soccer team and he only opened 1/3 of a stadium during a game to keep staff numbers down. Team was making a profit but FFA kicked them out as it didn't look good seeing so many empty seats.

Sam Powell-Pepper, anyone?
I have watched him a couple times and Channel 7 is into him. They can have him.

Official Delistings?
If Jones was not with us next season we would have known before the game against Sydney. He at least deserves a farewell game. I thought he played well against North Melbourne, giving good service to the forwards. Not in our best 22? Tell me how many times we had our best 22 out on the field this year?

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Kangaroos
That game epitomizes our season. A few good moments over shadowed by too many [censored] moments.

Jack Viney
Viney doesn't inspire much as a captain. Infront of the MCC members in the 3rd qtr, he didn't chase a Sydney player, he jogged. Yes the season is over but I want a captain with a never say die attitude. How can he lift the team around him if he cannot lift himself.

PREGAME: Rd 22 vs Sydney
I agree with selection, need to know who isn't AFL standard. We can't go higher or lower on the ladder. Give a few lads a game in the AFL before you show them the door. I'll be there watching them play tonight and signing up again for the next year. And if they dish up the same crap again next year as they did this year, I will lay the boots into them again. Always Melbourne no matter how [censored] they are.

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Oliver over Parish was a good decision in my book.

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Remember when we got Trengove and Scully at pick 1 and 2? They were awesome for us. How about Jack Watts? He is really tearing it up at Power now with Jack Trengove. And when we picked up Jimmy Tompus/Toumpus over Ollie Wines. Who's laughing now?...

PREGAME: Rd 20 vs Richmond
And yet I still sign-up every year and I have signed up every year since 1997. Only fair I get to lay the boots in once in a while.

PREGAME: Rd 20 vs Richmond
Can we put Red n Blue cones out against the Tigers? No one will notice.

Sam Frost - Contract status
Frost is out of contract and playing good football. He is driving his own price up and probably the interest of other clubs. I can't see Melbourne keeping him. We have May, Lever, Jetta, Hibbo, OMac is cheap and we look better with Lewis in there somewhere. Probably bring in a fresh defender.

Darren Burgess officially our new fitness coach.
Not sure if anyone esle read an article on the Arsenal site. 2017 they paid Port Adelaide 7 figures to get Burgess. Gunners had 3 fitness guru's and 2 got cut to make room financially. Dare say Burgess was not cheap, I wouldn't argue that we don't need him either.

We are due for a Rebuild.
The club is too "nice" and I don't mean the players. Management need to fix their attitude first. Sure we can rebuild but the club have to set the rules. What happened today to Max needs management kicking Gills door in for a please explain and not accept anything other than Daglish or whatever his name is to go back to the WAFL for the rest of the season.

POSTGAME: Rd17 vs Bulldogs
Terrible game all up. Umpires were woeful bit didn't influence the result. Bulldogs were also shocking, they should have put us away in the 3rd. Players lacking pace like Nathan Jones and Jordan Lewis get exposed when the rest of the team are struggling with poor decision making and inaccuracy with their ball movement.
-
POSTGAME: Rd16 vs Carlton
We were 3 short on the bench. With a game that has so many rotations I was not suprised Carlton came back. They did the same to Freo the previous week. Fortunantly we were able to muster up what was required in the end. A bit of luck doesn't hurt either. I took a lad from Spain to see his first game ever. He knew nothing about the game. Going home he didn't want to stop talking about what he just witnessed.
