Enjoyed a great night at the Bentleigh Club last Saturday night watching the big win.The meal before was great value in pleasant surroundings. Didn't know we had so many ferrel Dee's fans. It was great fun particularly yelling at the umpires who thoroughly deserved it once again. ..... as if the umps could hear us. I thought the TV was lucky to make it through the night. The despondancy four minutes to go was thick and painful but on the siren we certainly sang the song with incredible gusto.. probably better than the players ... despite being as exhausted as they were. I reckon the club could get us a better TV, nevertheless it was my first time there and will certainly do it again.

Ventured to the Leighoak myself and enjoyed dinner and the game amongst a good crew of Demons supporters.Staff there weren't expecting the amount of people(even though there weren't tons) however were very accomodating.Supporters there were very noisy especially towards the end and made for a great atmosphere.Very enjoyable!

Only downside for me were a few "doom and gloom" supporters that you get at every MFC game ,bitching and moaning when Port were making there comeback.One woman in particular was bagging Melbourne players throughout the game at their lack of skills.I think she must have been a triple Brownlow medalist herself however I didn't recognise her as being in the AFL Hall of Fame.

Did anyone else hear about how Carlton hired a cinema at the jam factory and screened (I think) the port v blues game last week? Sounded a very good idea as would love to watch a game on the very big screen when interstate. Apparently it was free too! Obviously costs etc have to be worked out, but I think it could be a good thing for the club to explore if the interest was there. I'd certainly go along.

It wasn't Carlton who hired the cinema per se, but instead part of Channel Seven's trial of 3D broadcasting of AFL games. The Carlton fans were invited on behalf of Village and C7.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the evening at the Bentleigh Club. Screaming at a box can be so cathartic, especially when 50 other people are doing exactly the same. One guy became particularly vocal with about 6 minutes to go (what a surprise), might have even been a Demonland poster?! He was later sighted outside yelling 'GO DEMONS' to anyone who would listen.

That TV seems like it has been there forever. Maybe worth investing in a high quality projector and using the pull-down screen??

That was more than likely me, hit the frothies a little too aggressively, should have concentrated my efforts on food as well. Felt very unwell the next day, but better for the win

I think everyone else found it amusing so I wouldn't worry too much.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
