I am going and hoping to take along my 14 year old niece who has just arrived from Egypt. She lived with us for a year several years ago and back then we went to every home game but she has never seen us win a match. How bad is that?

Very hard to get her attention for tomorrow, she remembers our last game together where we both got drenched in the rain sitting with the cheer squad watching MFC lose yet again

For the record as well, my bespoke tailor requestes payment for his services! Apparently this is a problem for BBO who expects it is more payment and enough to be a model and walking advertisement for anything my tailor produces.

Hardtrack doing the 1030 am seconds match at Olympic Park but not the ones at the Gee? I would love to be at Olympic for Casey but had been pre-booked for a brunch unfortunately. Oh well.

I will keep a look out for a Day of the Dead tee shirt at the Gee. But if we lose "Don't Blame Me!"

Just a ...misunderstanding Earl Hood. I'm sure I sent a cheque ....... must be Australia Post's fault.

Had to buy a Helstra on demand account so I can watch the MFC play in 2015.

Downside is I can only watch the game on mymobile or tablet.

Luck I do have a 22" tablet somewhere in the house.

Sounds good, jazza. Have a great time, and no durries at half time (or any other time).

Actually had the port bottle passed around on a cold day at half time,and durries enjoyed by most.

Afraid those days are gone R@B.

Best of luck to all those bravely venturing out today. I won't get any further than where I left the remote last night.

But here are a few things you might like to try on the way to the G (inspired by Old Dee's many references to wet tram tickets):

Stones Green Ginger was the favoured heart starter when I played. Usually a 3/4 time booster.

Typical softkok romesy beetles attitude.

3/4 booster,hahaha,try putting your head over the footy,that usually works.

No wonder our club is buggered with this attitude,out with the soft and lets get some tuff buggers with coconuts in here to help us climb back to the top.

Back in my day we passed around quite a number of things.

That was in the amateurs of course so we never lowered ourselves to drink that swill. Top shelf only.

These days I believe the ice pipe is the must have accessory for the country footballer.

There was a time when a snort of snuff was de riguer during the break, but that was back when ol'dee had hair.

I will be there today. No fishnets for me. In fact, no balaclava either. It tends to get the hackles up of the security monkeys.
I'm wondering where I should sit. The newly minted Robbie Flower wing is tempting but seems a bit removed from the action. I tend to sit near the cheer squad which is great if we are winning but if we are down, it is the depths of despair.
If we win, who knows? I might upgrade to an 11 game membership. My work situatsion and the general stinkitude of the MFC has forced my hand on a 3 gamer this year.
I am sure Uncle Bitter will look quite fetching in his get up. Of that, I can guarantee.

I am shocked!

Did it actually happen?

I sat up near the Robbie Flower sign for the first three quarters, and then down into the dry area (left forward flank to the Punt Road end) for the last. Was almost level with Watts when he lined up for the set shot goal. It is a great spot when we are kicking to the Punt Road end and scoring, as you can hear the players calling (and the thump of the tackles). Up top definitely gives a better perspective of the overall play, and was a great place to watch Tyson's goal in the 2nd quarter unfold.

I presume you have upgraded by now ... :)

I was there DF -- it did happen!

yes i can vouch for that

although for a while i wondered if mandrake was practising his mass hypnosis

I too had difficulty believing and thought some of the "Health Substances" Biffen supplied me with were Hallucinogens!

BTW. As I was walking back through Fed Square there was this Canuck sheila putting on a stand up show - total nutcase. I'm wondering if it was Mable Demon!

cheers to hardtack and son making the trip down from sydney town

seeing two victories must have made it all worthwhile

od, would like this. got on a bus after the game (train bus) and this middle aged geezer got up off his seat and offered it to me

he must have thought i looked close to a hearter, which was probably true - lol

or maybe he fancied me?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
