    SCOUT BOOST

    As the Dees sweat out pre-season on the track, they have had a boost off-field by adding experienced footy head Shane Joules to their recruiting team.

    Joules spent 16 years at Collingwood in various roles including an opposition analyst and pro scout under coaches Mick Malthouse and Nathan Buckley, before running VFL club Northern Bullants, and most recently a stint working at the AFL as a conduit between schools and AFL HQ.

    He boosts one of footy’s most experienced recruiting and list teams, led by list boss Tim Lamb and recruiting head Jason Taylor.

    The Demons lost recruiter and AFLW list head Todd Patterson to the Tasmania Devils midway through 2025.

    ned guy effect?

    Next stop... ban password sharing and bring on more ads.

    password sharing banning is inevitable and that's when i think it'll be interesting to see what decision people make about how important 'seeing' the footy on tv actually is

    we might be going back to the 90s where if you didn't go to the game, radio was yr best bet

    no ads siren-to-siren is one of their major marketing callouts that you'd think they would be reluctant to lose

  3. this one belongs to my mother, but i've adopted it, used it as my own...

    in mid-air, there's one person going up and one going down

    the one going down says to the one going up, "excuse me, but do you know anything about parachutes?"

    the one going up says to the one going down, "no, sorry... do you know anything about pop-up toasters?"

    i have no idea why, but it's always amused me

    This is the new world, with everyone moving to subscriptions. Everyone’s paying so much a year for all their various things.

    and this is why piracy is on the rise, again

    I know people want to keep things positive, but our last formal update was september 24. Paid up members are in the dark and its just not good enough.

    people want to keep things positive? that's very un-mfcss

    I put some sadness in it.

    What a place to be in; high paid CEO who requires development and training in THE INDUSTRY HE WAS HIRED FOR.

    It’s laughable really.

    yes and no - i mean, obviously ever senior exec / ceo i've had the (mis)fortune to deal with has had some sort of mentor / consultant that they have used as a leadership guide etc. etc.

    but it's still hard to disagree with what you have written

    They should all just shut up until they have something to announce.

    They are just the most naive when it comes to messaging and their own image with their stakeholders.

    Nearly every time each one of them talk - I cringe. For I know ‘that was not what they meant to say’ or ‘they can’t say more than that’ or they are ‘not across it entirely yet.’

    SAD!

    they kind of HAVE shut up about it tho

    "nothing to announce, hopefully more soon... now, moving on to our next item of business..."

    But I will say I like the current emblem a lot more than the monstrosity that Cameron Schwab came up with

    and no white either

    we're melbourne, red and blue, not red, blue, and white - that's footscray colours

    chalk me down as another who is looking at the 'rehab' group and seeing reasons to be concerned

    the general rule of thumb is that in order to prepare for a good season you need to have fully completed 80% of all pre-season sessions

    we look set to go into 2026 with a lot of players who won't come close to that mark

    And you'd think the team would have taken some key learnings on how to win a close game since the semi final of 2023.

    Instead we've somehow managed to go 1-9 in games that have resulted in 6 point margins or less. And that even continued after Goodwin was dismissed as we lost 2 close ones to the Dogs and Collingwood.

    We might jump up the ladder if we can address that fine line of losing close games instead of winning them.

    put simply, the team has a history of bottling it in the big moments since mid way through 2022

    Well the President did say "we are really close and we will share more as soon as we are able to."

    I guess that means that we are not allowed to announce anything yet and I assume that is because one of the stakeholders has told us not to.

    Caulfield will happen and it will just need a bit more patience before it is officially announced.

    It is disappointing though that the President couldn't elaborate a bit more, without making an official announcement.

    I am as frustrated at that as everyone else on here.

    this was exactly as predicted

    no update outside of 'more updates soon'

    frustrating, but better than 'it's dead, and we're back to square one'

    No announcement available as per the new President, Steven Smith. Disappointing but no real surprise.

    the important announcement is that the possibility of caulfield is yet to be snuffed out
