A courageous club - by Dandeeman (Demonland)

  • Author

Melbourne Cricket Club and Melbourne Football Club - 1st April , 2009.

The relationship between the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Melbourne Football Club is as old as the game itself. Our clubs share both heritage and heroes, sparked by the spirit of Tom Wills in 1858 as he sought a means of keeping his Melbourne cricketers fit during the winter months. A game was born, and so was the Melbourne Football Club.

If the MCG is 'the paddock that grew', we cultivated it together, through hope and hardship, with characters and colour, and with a shared heart that always beats true.

Let it be known that, on this day, the clubs again unite for the greater good, and with a spirit of mutuality and reciprocity.

Great job pulling this together HT. Fantastic reminder of just how far we have come in such a short space of time.

I have to say, seeing that sort of thing does make you realise that the club is puttng together a fantastic narrative.

It is very deliberate, but the choice to start at "base camp" and sell the journey was a gutsy one for the oldest club in the world. In relation to the things within our control, it is being executed brilliantly.

Stynes, McLardy and Schwab in particular deserve enormous credit.


Nice work HT, thanks.

April 1 2009 is a day we should all remember. April Fools day for some, But for us it was the First step towards stability and success. B)

+ 1.

Actually, the first step was when Jim decided to put his hand up. I've updated the first two posts.

I knew you were going to say that! Jimma putting the hand up goes without saying. April 1 2009 is when it was all set in stone, and a moment most will forget.

Note* - Have been adding/collating links, etc in with additional events over the duration of the journey. Will continue to do so, so we have something to remember and use as a resource.

I have included dandeeman's post.

After McLardy's interview on 3AW yesterday, I was curious to where the 'Red & Blue Print' could be found.

(Interview here:

)

This thread was the only hit that was returned by Google when I searched for it. Anyone know if this document is available to members?

Sorry if returning a 20 month old thread to the top of the most recent list aggravates anybody.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
