Legends Lap

Was great to see the Legends do a lap at the 'G' today. (though I am getting sick of seeing relatives with players at every occasion).

Was particularly pleased to hear the cheers when certain players names were announced - in particular Shane Woewodin.

Though he did sweat red and blue, I agreed with the decision to sell him at the time. But gee, it was great to see him there and hear the fans give him a cheer.

Must have been great for the players to run thorugh the line up of past MFC players at the start of the game.

Well done MFC - it was a very well planned day - despite the loss,

Moose

    Can someone tell me where Garry Lyon was? He didn't call the game on MMM (or so I heard), but that shouldn't have prevented him from being there anyway.

    Did anyone else get just slightly annoyed with the constant playing of the theme song?

    I thought it was a bit much before the game, when we hadn't won anything.

    I thought the trumpeter going out of time was a bit funny. Everyone clapping along to the trumpeting Grand Old Flag tune then he does a bit of freestyle between verses and all the clapping has to stop and retime :lol:

    Was good, but my only criticism is that the club padded out ther affair with alot of players who had very short careers and certainly not "legend" or "hero" status.

    Me neither.

    I actually thought the MFC deserves some credit for the functions on the weekend and well done to all that attend the functions and participated..

    Apparently he was double booked weeks in advance - said so on F/C

    His kids were there though

    Did sound odd, because even on F/C he said that he only found out about the march a couple of weeks ago. Please. It's been paraded around by the club (no pun intended) since late last year. In our 150th birthday celebration weekend, with a game against Collingwood, odd he wouldn't think something was on.

    Oh well

    Makes you wonder how close Garry Lyon has been to behind the scenes at MFC in the past. Hope that changes going forward. Lyon could bring alot to the Club...if he wanted to.

    I was surrounded by Pies fans and they pretty much all cheered for Woey. So that might explain the loud roar.

    Yes, I agree.

    The game was a Melbourne HOME game. They should play the theme song 100 times before every home game in my opinion. They should also drape red and blue across every possible spare inch of space at the ground and they should fly MFC flags from every possible flag pole in sight.

    Call it a dream but it was nice to actually have a home game feel like one for once.

    Yesterday in general just felt like a real FOOTY day, in the sense that everything about it felt like you were really at the footy. Walking to the G in drizzly conditions certainly helped.

    Fights in the game, big crowd, historic conditions (because as if we get to play on a saturday on the G), tough game, close one, a few really good perfomances, overcast.

    Only thing missing was the result

    Why would i get annoyed hearing "It's a Grasnd old Flag" played on ouir home ground?? Haven't heard it much lately-Played while the "Filth Fans" had to sit and Listen. Doesn't get much better than that I reckon.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
