I just wanted to start a thread to express my thanks and support to the Melbourne Football Club, the Football Department and in particular Dean Bailey for the great work being done under difficult circumstances to deliver a more successful and enjoyable future for all members of our great club.

Go Demons!

HERE, HERE

Stynes has saved the club, DB and CS are now being ruthless. This is the first time I have ever seen the MFC do this, we have been the laughing stock for too long, but the laughter from the rest of the football community and public is about to drowned out by the roar of a club on the up. Especially if we get Scully + pick 2 and 17 and pick 1 in the preseason draft.

I think we should extend DB contract (assuming we win only one more game).

Our recruiting last year was excellent Prendi should

Absolutely.

I am extremely please and proud to be a Melbourne supporter. We are doing everything right at the moment, so well done to the administration and to Bailey for putting the club ahead of their own win-loss record.

Hopefully they know that the large majority of us are with them all the way, because we can see the bigger picture and the bright future that is ahead of us.

On a side note, well done to the players, particularly the young ones, for stepping up since the 3 weeks of disgrace that we had mid-season and putting in admirable efforts each and every week. Many of them have put their best foot forward and earnt themselves a position in the side.

Absolutely Old55. All in the name of the pursuit for success, a flag. Is that why the club exists?

oops. :lol:

Couldn't care less anymore...

As long someone doesn't say it exists to exist...

Oh, yes.

1 more week of intense experimentation to go, Dean.

And if Newton gets 8 rebound 50s, Valenti 9 clearances, Warnock 5 goals, and Petterd and Grimes 35 touches all over the ground and we win.

Well...

Que sera, sera...

Tank even harder against Freo

I'm afraid not my friend.

The things that would need to be done to lose to Freo involve the MFC asking members of the coterie to kidnap players on the eve of the match...

We will not lose to Freo.

This ends Sunday the 9th of August, one way or another...

I will add to this the moment we have secured the 2 picks in the top 3 :P

Yes, have to agree with you condemned, and lets not throw away one of those picks, which we do need for future success, on a dud like Sandilands.

There is nothing wrong with investing in youth!

Onwards and Upwards, DD

I admire Bailey more than ever. I'm comforted in the fact that we have a coach that "get's it" and will do his utmost for the long-term benefit of the MFC. If he fails, at least I'll know the club tried. I don't have to guess what he's trying to achieve, it's plain for all to see. And he still handles a difficult situation with poise and ease.

Thumbs up, Dean.

Great sentiments, Old.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
