There was once a great club feared by all its rivals, without fail this club would be top 4 every year and had just experienced the most succuccessful period of all AFL clubs racking up premierships like they were bargain rolls of toilet paper after a large meal of spicy indian curry. Yes this club was our club, we owned the top of the ladder.

Then Barassi left and we treated Norm Smith like dirt, we pretty much changed overnight no longer were Melbourne continually sitting above all others, instead we were down the bottom all the time, looking to fill each previously won cup with a big lumber spoon, MFC was out of place, the world had turned upside down!!

So, the snow joke was born, when Melbourne were doing badly we were all off to the snow, the true meaning has been lost over the years but the joke was we were upside down,.. why snow?

get out your crayons and write DEMONS on a piece of paper, turn your paper upside down and you have the MFC snow joke.

Carry on! B)

    Ii can never understand why people want to go to snow, you go outside fall off your snowboard and your soaking wet, your better off going down the ISLAND and go surfing, and it dont cost a 1000 bucks, thats probably why i live in cranny.

    JtR, you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you can get a nice cold beer for $9 a pop near the beach, easily done at the Snow

    Is that true? Where did you get that info from? Because the affluent Demons supporters really do go to the snow. Does it just work on both levels....

    Meh. With all this global warming going on we only have to listen to that tired old joke for a couple more years.

    Also with the push into Casey the joke won't quite fit any more. Not sure how many bogans head up to the snow ?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
