The No T$ No B$ Thread

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.

Will be at the Gee as well...this is my son's birthday trip to Mlbourne to see the Dees, so he gets to see as much as possible. Footy overload tomorrow :-)

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 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 ... :)

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?

Don't ask why, DC -- just take the seat and smile ... :)

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
