Just wondering, I wasnt at the game and I didnt get to see what happened when the team song was sung?

Did Bailey join in and belt out a few notes??

I heard the song on the radio and could only hear the passion.

It was great feeling Knowing the boys finally had a chance to sing it I hope he joined in.

Been a long time coming, lets hope they get to sing it a lot more over the next few weeks

The Richmond game now takes on a whole new meaning and places a lot more empahsis on the boys

They have won their first game and now they Must follow it up with a comprehensive win over the Sad Tigers

    Bailey would never join in, as he stated the week before, it is the players who play and win

    Loved how Bails gave the supporters and members a pump-up too. Nice to finally get some public acknowledgement for those of us who have sat at the 'G week after week through hard, seemingly endless winters where there has been rarely a glimmer of hope. I, for one, will be walking around with that very same smile he talked about in his press conference last night. Hope it might last for two weeks when we pump the Tigers next week.

    What was the go with all of the supporters in the rooms afterwards?

    I was watching it on the tele and when they went to interview Brad Green, there was a mass of supporters off to his left-hand side.

    Is that normal?

    No it is not, it is usually a few family and friends, but believe Chris Connoly got carried away with the win and threw the doors open........

    That might be Baileys view but to me every person employed by the Melbourne football club is a part of that win, everything they contribute has some bearing somewhere.

    To the staff who help run the club,to runners on the field, to the individual coaches who help the players get to where they are on the day

    Let alone the coach himself. All are Integral parts of the team , all put in their bit of course all are not in a position to join in the song.

    Bailey was there and should have joined in and been as much a part of that song as were the players they may be the ones on the field as Bailey states, but it takes a lot to get them there and have them perform. Bailey is as much apart of the win as they are. Wether he has footy boots on or not, therefore I dont see anything wrong with a public display of passion

    Does anyone?

    Highlight for me; Jack Trengoves face. He absolutely LOVED the win! He was filled with joy and I have the feeling he will remember this game for a very long time.

    Does anyone think the fact that his first AFL win was against Adelaide will have any kind of relevance to anything at all?

    I love this guy. His character alone is employable, and his happy go lucky ways are immensly hard to resist!

    I've always been one for the players should be the only ones singing it but I agree that a huge number of people are involved in the whole thing and should enjoy it too... Maybe a 2nd larger circle around the players singing it every now and again...

    Same. I kept an eye out for the reactions of the likes of Trengove, McKenzie, Scully, Grimes etc and you could see how much it meant to them, which was memorable to witness as a supporter of the club during what is potentially a historic period.

    Not that I'm getting my hopes up.

    Maybe it just maybe it was the players who have decided that's how they want to celebrate the win. And fair enough too.

    If the others feel entitled then lets have ring a rosy around the inner group.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
