Straight Sets Simon

As far as a training ground (not gym and other facilities) goes, I think it would just about be fair to say that Melbourne have gone from the worst to just about the best (within Victoria anyway).

Like Collingwood with their pubs and their other venues... Whilst I agree to a certain point, winning games of footbal, increasing memberships and crowd numbers is still the most important way of sustainability for any football club.

That's annoying, I can't go now because I have to work. I was really looking forward to the game too.

Valenti > Jones.

In my best 22.

Is that you Juddy? No, Jurrah didn't play.

I like the alternate thinking, but no. It really worries me that everyday punters on internet forums (Demonland, Demonology and BigFooty) can create very good alternative jumpers very quickly, yet for some reason just weeks out from the NAB Cup the MFC are still to finalise a design.

No, Essendon.

They were originally planning to use Casey Fields but Melbourne didn't want them to use it.

I really like it.

You won't get detail like this is the papers. Thanks again WJ.

Thanks WJ. Any questions about the clash jumper and the possibility of bringing back the blood red and darker blue from the 1950's?

I just thought it would have been "come". You learn something everyday.

According to the Melbourne Football Club, Dunn is a "forward-cum-tagger". I really hope that's a typo.

Seeing as the club as all but written off the season, I think their aim should be to try and win the NAB Cup and the money.

I've never really understood the point of web logs (blog is such an ugly word), you may as well just write your thoughts on a Demonland thread or start a new thread if it is a new topic.

Sydney still have one of the best coaches in the league, they won't do too badly.

I was told they did train yesterday.

Very rarely as a forward line was often non-existent. But he isn't a Ryan O'Keefe type player.

Correct on all counts.

Apparently they have five years to improve their skills. Why do it now?

Does he "bleed red and blue"?

I just renewed my own and my girlfriend's membership today. I also put my $50 towards the Demon Heartland, got The Age subscription and put $50 towards the Debt Demolition.

Get on Snickers MFC. I really hope the MFC at least considered this idea after I emailed them.

The Demons, fighting to erase a $5 million debt, face the grim prospect of running on to Aurora Stadium on February 21 without a logo on their jumper. The Demons have signed 18,000 members, 4000 more than at the same time last year. The club's debt is now about $2.5 million. FAIL
