Great Win But?

Recommended Posts

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
