I'm sure this isn't news to most people on the forum, but the poem that Rupert McCall wrote for the unveiling of our new emblem, is simply amazing. If you havent seen it, definately, should check it out in the mfc site, in bigpond videos.

    Thanks for the heads up, MM! Didn't know anything about it!

    Just watched and listened. After seeing the video presentation on the explanation of the new emblem, this presentation by Rupert is the perfect icing on the cake! Truly awe inspiring stuff!

    I sure hope they play it on the big screen to the players in the rooms on Sunday just before they run out on to the MCG...!

    I can't believe more people haven't commented on this. It is just SOOOO inspiring! If you haven't listened to it, be sure you do! If you have a dry eye at the end of it, you better check your pulse, because you must be dead!

    Could listen to it for hours on end and not get sick of it. Stunning work by Rupert, bloody magnificent.

    Like others, I had commented on this in another thread Vagg. It was a wonderful poem by Rupert. Great idea launching it with the new emblem for the Mfc. Adds to the nostalgia and rich heritage of this great club.

    Love it!!!!

    Heard it on SEN on Thurs arvo - listening to it gave me goose bumps and a huge amount of pride to be a Demon man - had a silly grin on my face while listening to while driving the truck! lol. Just watched it again - again with the silly grin!

    Would love it if the club put it on the screen before the game tomorrow - told my old man about it & he wants to see it.

    this is so good! I want to get an emblem with this poem underneath framed and put it on my wall!

    I'd certainly buy one of them from the Club.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
