The Urge to Merge
Its good to be remembered, I was banned correctly for 3 months for using multiple tags. I was ,am still computer dumb, I had just moved home and had an EMAIL change. I thought my old tag wouldnt register with DEMONLAND so I invented a new one, my mistake. I am old school still as I dont even have a mobile phone and just use cash All I am saying is I got the tag wrong and I was rightly banned for 3 months. I still sit in the same seat but just greyer, so on to Saturday for a demon win.

Demon supporters are pathetic…
Do we go to the footy or dont we. Is going or not going important? To me as I said last year, the biggest problem at the moment is the AFL looking to get games off the G for hawthorn home games when they exit Tas. Already we have one home game at soulless city. With the lack of supporters at the G the AFL dont look at reasons only numbers. That is why we should support the players with our attendance.

Simon Goodwin Herald Sun Interview.
One thing touched on, injuries. We had a few, some major, but they were made worse by us having a short list, Missing two , Brayshaw and Smith with Spargo going down ten minutes into the first game. These had the effect of restricting our response to in season injuries.

The AFL 2025 Fixture
This has been asked before, so I am sorry if I missed the reply. Where does a MFC reserved seat get you at docklands? Please dont say free on the top level.

PREGAME: Rd 23 vs Gold Coast
What do we want out of 2024 at this late stage? Our season is cooked, so how do we get the best result from now for the MFC. Do we know if Fullerton can play at AFL level or do we just leave him at Casey until we delist him. Drop Gawn, in for medical, Bring in Jefferson for 2 matches after telling him this is what AFL is like and strive over preseason to get there Use the remaining 2 games as a positive for 2025, if in doubt play them. Whats the worst that can happen? Lose 2 dead games, have a look at players and possibly improve our draft position. It wont matter to the vast majority of our supporters, they wont go anyway, Petty will still be a forward, at night, cold, dark or just couldnt care. Let us see the possible future and enjoy the DEES at the G. For now!

What was your excuse?
The AFL dont care about a disaster for the MFC. There will be 19 teams soon, it would solve a few problems if one team fell out. I am sure interstate teams would cry if a Melbourne team went under. I am sure they would About 10 years ago we played GWS at docklands and drew about 8000 people, a complete money and look disaster, lost approx $120000. too many of those and we will be broke. If this happens we [ the supporters] can blame nobody but ourselves. As I wrote in an earlier post about possible moving of home games in favour of more for essendon and carlton at the G, I forget about the 4 games hawthorn will need to relocate in the ending of the Launceston games.
-
What was your excuse?
My information on the break even figure was a conversation with Cameron Schwab about 10 years ago. It was during a walk to the G on a queens birthday game. He said that different grounds have different break even figures. Waverly was 14000 G 20000 and docklands 30000. Now those figures have changed, no Waverly, lower at docklands now owned by AFL. But as I said above I am more worried by other teams wanting OUR ground.
-
What was your excuse?
As to the finances, we would have had to write a cheque to the MCC for not getting a break even crowd. Approx 20000 people, we pay or collect approx $10.00 for each above or below that figure. So in the last two home games we would have had to pay approx. $50000. Another point which I am much more afraid of both carlton and essendon want more games at the G. Which clubs attendance do you think lends itself to being moved to docklands, to enable more home games for the above teams?

Goody is a genius!!!
If in the words of our coach, Fullerton couldnt win a ruck contest, WHY draft him? We could have kept a Harmes or Jordan on the list and been no worse off in the ruck as the bloke we drafted to be a back up for Max cant ruck A real simple question . why draft him, didnt we look at his previous games at bris. Also as I recall we gave him two years, for a ruckman who cant ruck.

Stuff drafting a kid, poach a key forward.
How often have you heard the coach say ' our forward line is a work in progress. Dozens I bet. I think the airport rail link is closer to finish than our forward line. We worry so much about the forward line that its coach is a ruckman. Here is a left wing idea employ a forward line coach who was a forward. How about Jack Reiwolt. Just retired kicked many goals, in successful team. On thursday night sitting at the city end watching the forward line up close, the number of times with the ball approaching into our forward area, JVR and TMAC standing shoulder to shoulder next to each other. For gods sake split and offer multable options to the on coming ball carrier. Learn how to kick over the preseason at a 21 mtr wide target because simply we cant.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs GWS
The problem isnt about connection between mids and forwards, get kingy in and he will throw dozens of stats at you Its all bum fluf. Our one problem is we cant hit a target 7.5 metres wide often enough. We are getting plenty of shots on goal, plenty. Alot of them set shots from good angles. Our scores show if we can hit that 7.5 mt target we will win most games. They are prof. footballers who canr kick. Thank god they arnt surgeons, dead everywhere.
