If all you care about is profit and inflated and shallow numbers like membership and total crowd numbers then yes. As @Redlegintimates; if you have a brain and integrity - it’s in an awful state.

Luck. Luck isn’t the way we move the footy in a stilted and unimaginative way. Luck isn’t recruiting a premier ruck when we needed a 3rd tier fwd/ruck. Luck isn’t creating a forward line of part timers and experiments and expecting that hubris to ‘work out’ next to our Rolls Royce midfield and Red Bull Racing backline. When you leave things up to chance - that’s called gambling and then we really are relying on ‘luck’…

CLOSE THE BOARD Ok then, with the GF, about two teams we either hate or are indifferent to, over. We can now close the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board over the summer. Therefore leaving the trading and drafting board, and the ‘AFL Womens team’ (whatever that is) board. Because if we can’t talk about the only ‘Melbourne Demons’ team playing in a concurrently running league on the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board - I don’t really know what the point of the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board is.

Not to pile on you but what was the difference between regular season MFC in 2021 and last few rounds/finals MFC in 2021? Positive and confident ball movement would be right up there. It’s what Binman and a few others seem to think is a spigot we can turn on whenever we want. Its learned and trained and we have work to do.

3 seasons ago. We adapt or we find ourselves ‘choking’ our window shut

Of course we aren’t far away. But we play cagey boring footy and that is not what wins flags. Also, wrong thread for this.

For the hawks email:

‘I hope I am wrong’ The clarion call of the overtly negative and unfair.

They way he left? Burgo basically said his hamstring tightness was in his head and then he did it. So much for Burgos resilience. He’s a good player that we will get cheaply.

Shunned to a different board many don’t know exists…

Percentage came down but

The Dees just won a game in Mordor. Absolutely sheeted it in. Who cares about the GF?

Methodical. Its so commanding - you get annoyed when players aren’t perfect. The connection they have with each other on the counter is pure gold and glory. The men’s team can learn something from this group when it comes to decision making and using hands and not panicking around the 50. Decent crowd on the camera side and that Aimee Mackin move off the back flank toward centre wing was absolute dynamite.

At worst? ND20 at worst? Prepare to be disappointed

Not if it’s more than 45 mins from the CBD we won’t! Rah rah fart

Again, why does it matter that it is away from the ‘supporter base’? You’re not welcome there outside of open trainings ahead of our patented straight sets exit from finals.

Paul Connors says it is a deal between Coll and Grundy for the life of the deal. Coll won’t agitate and risk pissing off Connors. He’s one of the most powerful people in football.

And we are on this board… FMD.

Big game this Thursday for Kate Hore and her Demon Queens. I know there is a ‘AFL Womens League’ board but I don’t want to talk about that - I want to talk about the Melbourne Demons on the Melbourne Demons board. The dominant, amazing, and humble team that deserves eternal hellfire and idol devotion. Also, no one goes to that board and there wasn’t even a match thread…

Viney with 24 votes. Should have been AA.

Yeah, you play to your cattle - every FD knows their players best - our fwd line need healthy, ‘forwards’, in their prime, and in form. A lot of that will come from Kozzie getting older and wiser, Petty and Fritsch coming back, and hopefully Chandler showing more consistency and aggression with the footy (love the fact he cares about the zone, but mate, pointing doesn’t get you kicks). I would love another tall and a small but it’s a hard game. JVR is about to enter his third season as a KPF possible back up ruck - he is gravy - we can’t expect he holds up a post in flag contending team.

Im not your friend, pal. I have said this before and you choose not to get it to move on with your life - ‘administrations’ should be just that. They should get who they want for what they want and then they can get turfed out when they get turfed out. Democracy needs that to function - your ideal of elections of ‘diverse opinions’ of mates of yours just destabilise the board and cause issues. So you can stay in your naive little fairyland if you want to but there is no flag, no 70k members, and no stable club without this admin being able to be a unified group - and yes, unified enough to knife a bad egg trying to ruin a coach and deal with the consequences in court that you love to hang them with.

Sued for defamation by a person that by now you know @Demonland will not let anyone mention. A person whose own ego is driving a vendetta against your coach. And by extension your club. To drive home a point that humans are in fact human. That we are defined by the empathy we show or we don’t. And here you are pontificating and posturing with that person’s activities and proclivities as the damnation of the board. But memory and history are the same on this; that person was removed and then the club unified and galvanised. But those with little to say but plenty to whine about have to yell something don’t they? Oh, and my god you’re an easy bite. I kiss you and throw you back - I have had my fun. Have a good swim.
