First of all, gday everyone, long time reader, so id thought id sign up and join in on the forums. I just jumped on youtube to watch the tribute to Sean Wight(been meaning to watch it for a couple of weeks now). That has to be one of the most inspirational things i have ever seen. The will to play football and win at all costs. Everything in that clip showed what it should be like to play footy for the red and blue. How come some (most) of our boys dont play like this for 4 quarters? I know this has probably been asked over and over again. But i just don't know why! To play for Melbourne is to be a DEMON. Play hard, play with mongrel. Make teams fear you, Make other teams supporters loath you. I would love to see that effort to get to that player before they kick the ball, even if it might look impossible. Run at the opposition, run hard and tackle or bump them as they kick, even after the kick, make them know your there. Sacrifice your body to show your team who you are, why your wearing that red V. I could go on, but week after week, i know, if this happened, there would be vast improvements in the Melbourne game, and more confidence coming from those efforts. (Green No.1 candidate to need to do this in order to be respected by both players and supporters)... so hopefully this can start happening soon, for 4 quarters so i can stand in that stand and Scream, "Go Demons" Because theyre playing like DEMONS!

    The boys dont play like Demons because the boys don't seem to give a rats clacker.

    They are young, and immature and would much rather spend the night preparing for a game (Last friday) by going out to a local Geelong pub (although for dinner i must add) and wrecking each others hotel beds (see Mortons twitter: http://yfrog.com/h7opmyhj).

    And these are the "adults" who are going to have a crack and push us to our next Grand Final.

    Sean Wights era' occurred in a different time, with different values, and obviously with a different youth culture.

    A hard working culture.

    Where as now everything is expected to be handed to them on a silver platter.

    I'll probably get shut down for these views, but damn that felt good.

    Rant.

    Ends.

    Here.

    Because they get monstered by teams who have an average of five more preseasons into their bodies and can run, and tackle, and "bruise" them into submission.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
