    Surely the hangover has worn off, or are you going to the bank to check you have the amount you drunkenly donated to DD :lol:

    Yeah I went on Saturday night it was a ripper of a night. I ended up buying something in the silent auction. Can't tell you how much they raised for the night although I would assume it was between 100 - 200K. They had a band play and some light entertainment (Lazer Man). The cover band was good, they played that song "Tonights gunna be a good night" which was a hit. All the players were there and alot of hot girls. They sold a Volvo for 33.5K - which was a bargain. The main was a porterhouse stake (very tender). Tables service with unlimited amounts of Carlton Draught Stubbies, Wines and Champas made for a good evening.

    Sounds like a great night. Were there any guest speakers or anything like that?

    Would've loved to make it, but, $195... way too steep for me. I'm barely getting by as it is... lol

    Was a great night. Highlight for me was seeing Matthew Whelan bid in the silent auction for the seat in the 2010 team photo!

    Priceless - Nice to see he has a sense of humour.

    Thanks for the feedback

    Went to the ball on Saturday night and it was well attended and run... There was probably about 500-700 people there including all the players (although I didn't see Watts but he was probably on the otherside of the room)

    The club raised maybe 120K from the auction items (i'm guessing) which I assume were all donated... I tried for the dinner at Riva for 5K but got blown out of the water when it went for about 7K something.

    It was great to go to a club function like that (it was my first) but hard because you want to talk to these players like normal people but you know exactly who they are and want to talk to them without making a douch of yourself... Most of the players were great with only Brock seeming more intersted in getting [censored] than having a chat with the attendees.... I was really lucky as my missus actually went to the devils advocate function early this month and sat next to Chris Connelly and a few of the players like bennel and Frawley at that dinner so I was introduced to all of them and they were just excited about were the club was heading...

    Although it was expensive I can recommend it to all (maybe try for a cheaper event)... Attending an event like this just makes you feel like part of a suburban footballl club with everyone just there to have a great time and support their club... I'll be trying to get to another couple of events as I rated this one highly

    I have the silent and main auction items in a pdf file but it won't let me upload them.... I have to ask the administrator about the upload directory.... If anyone can help I'll put the files on the site

    Probably drowning his sorrows after another poor outing I guess.

    HAHA probably... I was talking to nat jones who said that his role has changed in the last eight weeks and they wanted him up forward to help with the contested work... It looked like Brock had his job and didn't like it much

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
