A question came from the audience with regard to the Away Jumper and basically we are restricted to what we can have by the AFL. Incredulously there are seven or eight Clubs that the TV Media say we clash with - St. Kilda, Richmond, Adelaide, Carlton and have forgotten the others. The Club has put several options forward. PJ said the Club hate the away jumper and he knows that the supporters hate it as well. Also he was upfront in saying that although the supporters get cranky with the AFL they did listen to the Club's proposal that we do not play anymore home games at Etihad. Great to think of what the relationship with Casey has now become. Put the right people in place and good things happen. Simon Goodwin is not a "come with me on a journey" type of speaker like Paul Roos but certainly very down to earth and obviously passionate about his job. He spoke one on one to Hannan, Johnstone, Hibberd and Lewis. Jordan Lewis got one or two rousing ovations - a very clear favourite"son" now that he has chosen the destination Club. Simon asked about his decision to come to Melbourne and it certainly was his relationship with Todd Viney that clearly was the determining factor. He said he knew other people from other Clubs but he wanted to go to a Club at this stage of his career where he could make a difference and that it was a Club that was "going places" He spoke very well with Simon saying the first time he spoke to the other players he really made an impression. A good night, succinct, not over the top but definitely there is a certain finals feeling in the air. Be excited. CBD Get well - I thought you might be there in your hospital nightie!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the repeat but just read other posts.

Saty, for you the world. Worcestershire Sauce will be on the table.

I dont think that happens anymore at Gosch's

Sorry no brioche, tofu or vege sausages but delicately flavoured and cooked snags and white bread. Club might go the whole way and offer brown bread as an alternative to white. No expense spared.

If you are a member and haven't received your email yet or just a supporter, the Club is having their annual end of year open training session at Gosch's Oval on Friday 16 December from 9.30 to 11.30. There will be the usual BBQ, Santa and Checker to entertain you all. If you haven't already purchased your membership the Membership and Demon Shop tents will be operating. All monies raised at the BBQ will go to Demon Army to assist them with purchasing new "heads" and other items for 2017.

That would be a corner office with huge windows overlooking the peasants scurrying around on the pavements below. Isn't that from where all legal eagles ply their trade.

They have to be good at something.

I don't think there is a nicer, more genuine and more giving person than Jack. His passion for the Club and his role was obvious to anyone who met him. I admired him for the way he played his role at Casey. He showed maturity beyond his years and as LH has said "integrity plus" If he does get picked up by another Club he will play with as much heart as he did whilst at Melbourne. However if he doesn't get to another Club, I am sure that he will succeed in anything that he takes on. I hope that there will be some role for him at the Club at a later time.

Dazzle, I think we are arguing over semantics. He injured his wrist against Richmond and was given very limited time in the Dev. league because of his injury. None of this matters as like you unfortunately I too believe that Max maybe looking elsewhere in 2017. If however the Club do decide to keep him on, they obviously see something in him and I would trust them as they are far more experienced than you and I.

You do know that he has had a broken/chipped bone in the wrist and is tryng desperately to get back into the Seniors to play finals despite being on limited time in the Dev. team. None of this may have any bearing if he is rerookied next year but he wasn't dropped as you stated.

Coaches Award!!

Try the Club 1300 336 667. They may have some left.

Everyone who can should try and go this year as the room will go off if Maxy wins the Bluey. His speech will be "noteworthy".

Hawthorn are very good to taking everything to the limit. They constantly impede opposition players in a marking contest. On kick outs they go so close to the marking square. When opposition players on standing on the mark a Hawthorn player is always next to the opposition player who will then block to not allow the opposition player from challenging the kicker. I know all perfectly legal but just really on edge and generally just like their aggression - always on verge of thuggery but OK in terms of the laws of the game. We need to learn a few lessons if we are to become a force of the future.

There is a reason why in the NRL a spear tackle is illegal and reportable. Lets wait and see what action is taken against Cyril. I am not holding my breath waiting.

I dont believe that you can be too hard on players. It is more about how you go about It.

Bern - great effort despite his broken nose. You are forgiven for last week.

Hopefully they will stay together. Anyone hear the troll Hawthorn supporter purporting to be a Melbourne supporter who rang the radio station to say that Hawthorn were already into Petracca. They apparently have had talks with his management re coming over to Hawthorn once his initial contract finishes. I hate Hawthorn supporter expectations that they will just keep topping up on other teams good players and keep winning finals.

Given that Essendon is traditionally a difficult Club to deal with during Trade, a standoff with Goody is more than likely.

Just as I was getting a little bit more comfortable.

"If WE can all stay together......................"

ALERT Jesse coming up on Chan 9 news

Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there. Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

Just a reminder to you all to come and enjoy the cold weather with the boys at their training session before Queens Birthday. Warm up with a sausage and hot coffee. There will be plenty of selfie time for the kids to have with their favourite players. Training should start at 9.30am. Also a reminder that Yarra Park will be closed for all games over the long weekend.

Thank goodness. I was worried about the shark
