NO excuses just go.

ALL THE BEST TO JIM AND HIS FAMILY.

    Good idea. I'm dragging everyone to the game on Saturday (even those that make excuses) & showing my support for Jim. A large attendance would be a proud moment for the big fella to witness.

    I think the big push for this Saturday was that everyone should come, and they should wear their MFC jumpers, no matter how old the jumper is. So pull out your Drake woolen jumper (or earlier - pre-dates me!) and be there.

    No...you've got a virus. If you tell'em it's a Hammy, Calf or Quad they might expect you still to show. :blink:

    Not that I've ever done it. :huh::lol:

    Attending this game is a no brainer...the symbolism will speak volumes of the CLUB we are...time to for the 22 boys representing the club on Saturday to dust off the old trident and hit every contest against the Weagles like the great Jimma did when he was in their position during his playing days.

    Heard Jim at his press conference pulled out his 37 guernsey he wore that fateful prelim Sat in '87 to represent challenges are things he relishes. Now that is stirring...lets hope he makes a speedy recovey.

    Just saw a pretty emotinal Garry on TFS telling how he feels & his reaction to Jimma & his condition. Can honestly say there was a lump in my throat watching Gaz talk about his great mate - cannot beging to imagine how Garry & other close mates feel about having to watch their great buddy go through what he is going through.

    Garry also implored to all MFC supporters/members to get along & also to wear their MFC jumper as a tribute to Jimma. He also held up his old No 3 (was bloody great to see it again!!)

    I implore EVERY MFC player to leave nothing on that ground - give everything. And everone else - get along, yell, scream, stamp your feet - do whatever you have to do to show your support for the big man.

    Yep never seen Garry that emotional.

    When he stared down the camera and implored the players to play for jim and the jumper to get up this week i couldnt help but think if Garry did decide to coach i want him as my coach, cause that message struck fear into me and gave me shivers up my spine.:)

    COME ON DEES DO IT FOR JIM AND DO IT FOR THE GREAT MFC, The place that Jim has helped stay alive!

    I'm absoloutly shattered I have work Saturday. Took a sicky last Saturday, so thats a no-go as well.

    I got a little emotional watching the great Garry Lyon strut his stuff, watching him talk about his good friend Mr Stynes in the way he did, also when he held up his number 3 jumper, i couldnt help think to myself "WE NEED YOU BACK IN THE FOLD GARRY",

    Please come back Gazza!!!

    Get Well soon Jimmy!!!

    Thats why he was a bloody great captain - he had that fierce aura about him. Saw him up close on game day often (in the rooms, in the race & on the field before the bounce) - bloody fierce!

    Everone who loves the MFC is right behind you Jimma - we know you will stare this down.

    Couldn't agree more, its been a long time since the Melbourne players have been fierce at every contest and shed blood for the jumper.Well if they don't tomorrow for Jimmy I don't see how they can look at themselves in the mirror!

    Come on boys you can do it.

    Be good to get a couple of choruses of "You'll Never Walk Alone" going for Jimmy at the game.

    i'm a massive liverpool fan, used to be a season ticket holder, this song SHOULD be played for jimmy on sat, i met him a few weeks ago and had a chat about playing gaelic football against his brother sean years ago back home, who knocked the [censored] out of me by the way, and he was such a genuine man. i wish him and his family the best

    i cant be there on saturday, much to my huge disappointment.

    come on Demons, show us what you're made of

    You'll Never Walk Alone Jimmy

    Lyrics for "You'll Never Walk Alone" below:

    When you walk

    Through a storm

    Hold your head, up high

    And don't be afraid, of the dark

    'Coz at the end of the storm

    Is a golden sky

    And the sweet silver song

    Of the lark

    Walk on, through the wind

    Walk on, through the rain

    Though your dreams be tossed

    And blown

    Walk on, walk on

    With hope, in your heart

    And you'll never walk alone

    You'll never walk alone

    Alone

    Walk on, walk on

    With hope in your hearts

    You'll never walk, alone

    I have to work too but I told the boss I'm leaving at one o'clock like it or not. Every MFC Memeber/supporter/barracker must show up and support this truly GREAT LEGEND on and off the field.

    I'll be wearing Graeme Yeates old long sleeve training top with Drake Personnel on the front !!!

    P.s I understand if circumstances don't permit but try your best, There is no law about being sick two saturdays in a row !!!!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
