Confirmed by the club that the stars are gone. So too the ridiculous collars. The Schwab cleansing is almost complete.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH
Chook in Perth replied to e25's topic in Melbourne Demons
His father told me recently Billy's goal for 2014 is to play 'a' senior SANFL game next year. Didn't pursue it as I'm sure he gets enough questions from strangers. Seems a fair way off to me, but more to do with size than abilty. -
Operating net profit of $73m, up 13.4% on 2012, on revenue of $4.3b Some of the brightest minds in the country on the board. They're good for it.

No its alive Ronnie. But if you think this place is Strawberry Fields, then those clowns are about to turn Ology into Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory. It will be dripping in saccharine. Your brand of caustically holding the club to account will not be welcome. Give this place a chance. Its not the starry eyed teenage retreat we thought it once was.
-
Didn't post as Mikey on Ology by any chance, Stuie? Similiar levels of.... well everything actually.
-
im not panicked. I don't think Dr Who having my ology password is going to result in my properties being sold to Nigerian gangsters. But I, and many others, spend years and years contributing to the site. Forgive us if we're miffed that its been destroyed. For a bloke who claims not to care you've spent all day posting in this thread. Take a breather fella.
-
Stuies annoying me more than the NWO next door.
-
Skills Im concerned about I care about Ology as much as anyone. But if you think anyone other than a few hundred footy nerds gives an Emmanuel Petit about this, you're mistaken.
-
seems clear to me that Demonology will become the forum for d2d. They'll "help" the club by pushing membership whilst pocketing any cash generated from page impressions and ad clicks. Blokes this shady always have an agenda they don't share. Judee and Nineteen are decent people with years of service to the club and Ology. Im certain theyve been sucked in by a pair of used car salesmen.
-
After 8 years, and 10,000 posts, I won't go on the site again whilst these blokes have the keys. quickest way to kill them off is to ignore them. Its a travesty that so many great threads and data will be lost, but so be it.

More explosive than Murphy. MM probably more polished though.

Brian Royal and Dale Weightman were unstoppable as rovers, changing in a pocket, for Victoria in the mid 80's. Very good player. Spectacular mullet too.
-
Yeah thats not true. In Perth (as I guess Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney) coaches have exclusive deals with TV and radio stations to appear a couple of times a week. Fringe benefits for coaches outside Melbourne much better.
-
The rumour that Roos had bought a house in "Wembley Park"? Wembley Park doesn't exist.
-
Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen.
-
Normally that would be funny. But I've been waking up in the night to check the Hun, Age, twitter, Ology and Land for any news. My nerves are too frayed for any shenanigans. But well played sir.

He's not paying his membership.

In the Twitter era its all about being first, not right. The world moves so quickly now that no one remembers when false truths are uttered. This is precisely the reason semi literate knobs like Jon Ralph have managed to eek out a career.

Work before kids? Good bloke.

Tony Sheahan broke this a long, long time ago. In fact Neeld was still in the hotseat. he was widely derided on Twitter for this http://ynotmedia.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/paul-roos-a-demon/

This is the genius of Roos. His reputation alone will breed success. All of a sudden we're attractive to free agents. The Josh Caddy types who tell their manager "anyone but Melbourne" will view us very differently. Tangent - When James Packer buys stock, the market reacts. He could buy into Enron and they'd jump 30% that day. Doesn't make Enron profitable, but the Packer stamp is enough for the sheep to follow. Translate that to the football field and you have the Roos Effect. Yes, we're one of the all time worst teams. But that will be forgotten. When we go dangle $700k under (for eg) Daisy Thomas' nose we won't get an immediate, if polite, rebuke. We'll get careful consideration. you can't get out of the gutter with a financial advisor working out the Eastland carpark, which has effectively been Melbourne for 7 years. We have our Packer.

I've learnt in times like this to not buy into all the "inside" info. The tips to trust are those out of the blue and unremarkable. I like to think I've got some pretty decent contacts and have been close to the mark many times. But when the bush telegraph is covered in hubris its hard to know what's legit and whats eminated from the mind of 15 year old on Facebook. Literally everything is pointing towards this being a fair accompli. But we wouldn't be Melbourne supporters if the excitement wasn't tempered with some nervous pessimism.

Either it's all lip service delaying the inevitable, or you're right.

My father in law is a Superintendent. He's not,that's the extent of my knowledge. Most of the population is Australian last time I checked Sensus.

Mum and dad take you to Perth on holidays once did they? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
