I own a set of Dees racing colours.

Clint, wish you all the best and now go and beat it and get back to good health. Kudos on your brave choice to warn and help others. Thats True Demon spirit.

Yes praise be to Demonland. We are back bigger than ever and we are all invited to BBO’s manor, to watch the draft and see if we trade up, or take two future champions and another good player in Brown. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on Kynan. See how I put some footy discussion into my post. I think we all need to do that here and there, to remain on the footy thread. WJ and I were discussing today whether we use a rookie spot on a mature ruckman for a year or so, any thoughts? PS: can’t wait to celebrate with a banana daiquiri.

Yes thank you Demonland and please restore the NO T$ thread to the footy board.

Bring back the No T$ No BS thread and the AFL is losing its little credibility that it has retained.

I think we all need to post on every thread in the Football and Trade threads demanding this great thread be restored to the football thread, it’s rightful home. Post some footy content every time too, like this for example, I think Tracc should play forward for parts of the game. Clearly it is therefore a footy thread not a general one.

And Perovic tonight.

I think JT has done a great job so far, as we haven’t a clue who we are taking, or even what picks we might end up with.

We don’t need no education.

Well unless Brody lied in his interview yesterday, that is what he said. I am not a polygraph machine.

Yes agreed and poor kicking. A few things we have to fix.

He wanted to play finals with us, yet we selected a bloke we wouldn’t even bring on for a few minutes. Clearly a FD decision. You could easily argue that cost us a PF.

You think he acted alone without the Board. It was 90% actually, $2.7m of $3m, still the biggest single donation ever given to the club. What revenue streams back then, would have got us the $30m approx he left us, for Bentleigh and Oakleigh, plus his $2.7m. What have the last few Boards added to what he left us? He may not have been the President I personally wanted, but his contribution to the MFC was huge, in addition to helping save the club from a merger, which would have seen a different club today.

Unbelievable. The guy got us 2 facilities we sold for millions, I think in the order of $30m and personally threw in $2.7m of his own and you are having a go at him, for not begging the members for money, for a facility, that several previous and post MFC Boards have promised and to this point have failed to deliver. Wow!

You mean the ruck forward that we didn’t play for a single minute, when sub in the Semi, even though Tom Mac was possessionless in the second half and couldn’t even get to a forward half ruck contest? FD obviously think he is a good option!

Grundy wanted to leave us and we accommodated that. We can still rookie a ruck backup like Lycett, or whoever, for next year. I agree with Slartibartfast that list decisions need to be looked at in totality, not in isolation. There are many more factors that go into list decisions, beyond thinking a player may not be at his best in the final year of a contract. FWIW, BBB’s knee is apparently better, so he might be able to provide another key forward option next season. Personally, I see Tom Mac and Schache having little input at senior level next season, which I see as their last with us.

That’s actually not true. He would get his contract amount whether he played or not and was delisted or retired. Usually retiring players compromise their salary, given they are not providing any service, or doing all the training, thereby allowing them extra money from different sources, like playing at a lower level, coaching, or a new income stream of some sort.

Forget the culture of the MFC, maybe we need to discuss the culture of Demonland.

Their loss, it is the biggest, most posted, most read, longest lasting and best thread ever on DL, never causing a problem either and yet for some reason there is this desire to end it. Football is discussed, yet it is put on a general discussion board.

Who moved the thread off the football board? Clearly wants the thread not to discuss football and to effectively whither and die.

What can you expect from a back pocket?

If it bends, it’s a banana.

And I think it is only fitting that a statue of the creator of the thread, be erected at the MCG and also another at the new home base, which will thereby encapsulate his two sporting loves.

Best club in the AFL, but we have no culture.

Thank you, I will try.
