This one pumps me up everytime!

Allen Jackovich features Three times in this... he was a legend. He was my hero when I was younger!

 

Very funny choice of song....check out the lyrics:

Dropkick Murphys

I'm Shipping up to Boston

I'm a sailor peg

And I've lost my leg

Climbing up the top sails

I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

I'm a sailor peg

And I've lost my leg

Climbing up the top sails

I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa

I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

This one pumps me up everytime!

Yeah may be a pump up song, but reiterates to me that we were and still are a 'pissant club' - to take a phrase from Aurilio Vidmar. How many times are Melbourne fans or players featured in that clip? Compare that to collingwood, Essendon, Carlton and even Brisbane. Our lack of success over nearly 50 years has cost us dearly and we are basically a nothing club at the moment. In fact we have been since the 70's. I'm sick of it. Nothing short of a premiership in the next 5 years will change this. Unfortunately, I don't share the optimism that this is possible in the current AFL, where the rich have the resources to buy success (with sports science innovations and paper bag payments to players), whilst the poor struggle to just survive.

Relating this back to the current AFL advertisement, we will only be seen as a major player in the AFL when we produce the big name stars who regularly play in big games and big finals, and produce highlights worthy of being edited into official AFL advertisements. I don't think we have had one of these since Robert Flower. Schwartz came close before rogering his knee, but that's about it. And I'm not talking about your Jakovics or Daveys, I'm talking about your Judds, Kernahans, Abbletts, Harveys, Hirds etc. Why? Discuss...


i dont like how it shows adam cooney shrugging off james mcdonald..

:lol: Agreed! Given that Davey hit a pin point pass, there has to be some graphic imaging!

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
