Niknat will take 2 to 3 years to be ready to play. Warnock should be right Round 1 2009. Missing Warnock does not mean we will go for Niknat.
If it's going to take 2 to 3 years for Niknat to be ready to play, then how long will it take J. Watts?

Carroll was involved in bar fights in Greece and Germany last summer and was at one stage locked up in jail.
Greece, Germany and now Holland.
My advice to Nathan is that, in the future, he should stay away from anything to do with Europe

This is all very silly IMO. Didn't Richmond just beat Hawthorn a fortnight ago?

For many people, the membership itself is a donation.
Furthermore, even for people that have a 'spare few bob', there are plenty of worthy causes.
Anyhow, $2,905,681 is the total raised so far.
Surely, we'll collect another $94,319 in the next 48 hours?

Ruined my day seeing these 2 designs, looks like as long as the AFL are handing out money we will bend over for them.
I'm going option 1 though, bring back the demon. Option 2 looks too much like a rip off Carlton guernsey. Don't worry if you think it's outdated, it'll be gone in 2 years when the AFL decides Melbourne must introduce all the colours of the rainbow into their clash guernsey.
This is a great way to kill off our brand even more, no wonder we are insignificant to the rest of the league.
Surely the red jumper we had a few years back was enough evidence that it solved any clash problems.
I don't like either of them but I voted for "A" although I'd like to see the Demon with sharp fangs and blood dripping from them.

White is finished regardless of what DB does.
Warnock is no certainty until the deal is done. It aint done yet.
Agreed. Never presume anything is a done deal in the football world until the deal's been done.

All,
Friday was a fantastic success raising around $6500 for the club with around 60 members, supporters and friends in attendance. With a bit more time and effort next year I have no doubt that we will double our numbers here in Adelaide.
Jim, Chris and Don McLardy told it how it was without pulling any punches, took the hard questions and answered them candidly.
Feedback from all I spoke to was overwhelmingly positive and passionate towards our cause.
Will see if I can get a chance to post some more info and some photo's during the week.
Still trying to come to grips with another AAMI debacle the following day ...
Gary
Great work Gary and all of the Adelaide Demon fans who made this happen!

Jim Stynes has copped a fair bit of criticism from some quarters but I'm impressed by his persistence in getting a quality candidate for CEO across the line.
When Cameron Schwab indicated that he wasn't in the race for CEO, it was reported that he chased Stuart Fox of Geelong and even rang him five or six times in one day to persuade him that he was a wanted man. Although that didn't work, he then continued to show that persistence and finally got his man in Schwab.
You have to admire this because, over a very long time, that does not appear to have been a feature at the MFC.
I hope he continues to go hard like a dog at a bone when it comes to securing other assets needed by the club.

And of course, i purposely placed a 4 instead of a 3 throughout my calculations to see which supporters are on the ball...
Not going through it all again, but it still means about 2% of our fans have donated 83%+ of the Debt Demolition campaign.
And yeah, I agree Rogue, many of those fans probably put in over 500, meaning their total may have reached 2,401,000 haha
Just spoke to Finks' Senior who went to the luncheon and he described it as an overwhelming success attracting about 380 people. He thinks the figure thrown around was $2.67m before today's results but he's not sure. All he seemed interested in was getting his souvenir footy autographed by Ronald Dale Barassi.

press conference this afternoon at 4:00....
thoughts?
No doubt the appointment will create an avalanche of consternation from those who aren't exactly his "mates".
Hopefully, he'll do the job for us this time.

I also have a soft spot for the Peace Team, a mixed Israeli-Palestinian side, initiated by Israeli NGO and the Peres Center for Peace (peres-center.org), in cooperation with Palestinian NGO and the Al-Quds Association for Democracy and Dialogue - Football promotes peace for rivals.
Here's the team list for the Peace Team -

could be Danny Corcoran(spelling?) too
I don't think Corcoran was ever an AFL CEO.

I can't see Port Adelaide finishing behind West Coast given that the Eagles play Hawthorn and Geelong in Round 22 so their prospects of getting Naitanui will be dependent upon them finishing 14th and WCE taking Rich with their selection. I'm not that certain about their decision being all that cut and dried.
Based on vision I saw of Port playing Carlton on Saturday I would even swear that they're tanking except for the fact that Andrew Demetriou says AFL clubs don't tank.
-
for sure
the positive aspect... we are actually learning
bodes well me thinks .. No, Bode's not that well. He might be out with the concussion he sustained at Sandy on Sunday.
-
Million dollar sponsorships don't grow on trees at the best of times, let along the period of economic uncertainty we appear to be entering. And with all due respect to Jimmy's team, it won't be easy thanks to the fact that for some reason the AFL doesn't like fixturing us at times that would be attractive for national brand sponsors.
If the Board can swing a top notch new sponsorship for 2009 and onwards it will be one of its biggest achievements.

I used to run around with number 10 on my back as a kid. Anyone care to guess who that was?
My guess is a little rover named Ken Emselle.

I was going to post this as a new topic but I reckon it is best served here...
Alright my name is Dave, I am not a Demons supporter, I support Collingwood, yesterday I put forward an idea on a forum I am current admin of, I have called this "TAE's Fight to Save The Melbourne Football Club" we as a forum are looking to collect as much money as we can to send to the Melbourne Football Club. I am setting up an account for the members to place the funds into an account and will pass it onto the MFC.
Good work Dave.
I remember contributing to both Footscray and Richmond's fund raising efforts when they were in dire straits and it's fantastic that supporters of all clubs are willing to chip in and help one another.
PS: Hope the stuff about Didak, the Shaws and other Collingwood stuff around here last week weren't out of line
-
It was a fantastic gesture for the club irrespective of his annual earnings and let's just accept it for that please folks?
-
That's grea,t make sure you post us a full report. This place feels more like a club every day now...
You're doing a great job for the club there dworship. Keep it up.
Just wondering if your group is in touch with former player Stewart Gull who was in Melbourne this week for Tuesday's Debt Demolition function and was a team mate of Robbie's* in the late '70's.
Stewart lives in your part of the world, is doing well in the retirement village industry and would no doubt have some connections and possible local knowledge of other prominent Melbourne fans in the Ballarat district and, in any event, I'm sure he would be interested in the function.
* PS: He played the game somewhat differently to Robbie.
-
Brock has also made himself available, along with Isaac Weetra for the Ballarat Demons Debt Demolition Function on Wednesday 20 August 2008 - AN EVENING WITH ROBERT FLOWER.
His contribution and commitment to the club is very impressive (not just in the form of the donation) and I'm sure all Collingwood people hope that their own can make as impressive a comeback from their off field indiscretions as Brock has done this year.
Congratulations.
!
bodes well me thinks ..
The dynasty is over ...
in Melbourne Demons
Posted
This week's Sandringham reserves squad has just come in and (probably for reasons related to insurance issues) Melbourne has not given permission to its eligible players Cheney, Weetra and Zomer to play. I guess that means that the dynasty is now officially over. The squad is:-
Calder, Anthony
Cannon, Jack
Cleeve, Stuart
Curcio, Michael
Dean, Thomas
Eaton, Andrew
Fleming, Andrew
Gilchrist, Rennie
Gilder, Brad
Gileno, Adrian
Gravina, Stephen
Gribbin, Daniel
Hardiman, Maddison
Hine, Matthew
Johnson, Will
Johnston, Marc
Lckwood, Scott
Liddell, Brett
Lyall, Nicholas
McConnell, Andrew
Monaghan, Sam
Sargent, Daniel
Shakaib, Hiwad
Summons, Justin
Torcasio, Christopher
Williams, Jake
Barry from Beach Road hopes to cover the game and I'll be writing an article shortly on the alliance and on the characters of Sandy who helped enrich the 9 year experience and on the future direction most likely to Casey ...
