The funniest "I wish I hadn't said that" line tonight goes to Nathan Jones who on accepting his award said.. "And thanks to my girlfriend for putting up with a little [censored] for a lot of the year

The main thing about Beamers speech (and I regret not filming it) was that he is gutted not to be playing finals and that it kills him to watch the finals each year and not be apart of it. He said he

Seems kinda strange to me to clash with one of the Preliminary Finals. (Did we schedule it deliberatley, so our new Coach wouldn't be tempted to go to the match...? LOL)

Prediction - Moloney easily from Jones, Sylvia, Martin, Watts, Trengove, McKenzie, Garland, Gysberts, and Frawley. The last nine in no particular order.

As an aside - I had trouble editing a post. Wouldn't do anything when I saved changes...

I don't know... I get the feeling it could go either way between Moloney and Jones - Jones has been Mr Consistent this year, while Moloney went through a very quiet patch mid-season. Too close to predict for mine (but then again, I'm usually wrong).

If you haven't been to a B&F before you don't know what you're missing.

It's always a sensational night (I've been the last 20 years or so).

I guarantee the hairs on your neck will stand on end when you hear Cam Schwab speak.

Unashamedly passionate, no notes, all from the heart.

Great night. Was scheduled for either early september or 2nd October depending on whether or not we were in the finals. Got a bit tricky when we were still in with a chance up until rd 23. In the end this Friday was the only date available. Not the best night to have it. Unfortunately I have a prior commitment that night and am unable to attend this year. Have a great night all that are going. I'll be checking here for updates.

My prediction is Moloney/Jones (can't really split them) followed by Watts, Martin, Trengove, Frawley, Sylvia, Gysberts, McKenzie and Garland. Times like these I wish I was in Melbourne. Would love to go. Have to start planning now to go to next year.

I will be there. My brother sponsors one of the players, and he would be taking his lovely partner, however she is a mad Hawk, and has to go to the game. So I get the call up!!!

Went last year and had a ball.

Had a good chat to a few players, but I felt a bit strange standing around in a line of 10 people waiting to chat to the players.

I am hoping that JT wins, I am a bit biased. However I think Jonesy may get it this year.

They do have a top 5 tipping comp on the night and you need to get them in order. I am not sure if anyone got them right last year.

There was a winner last year. It may be a tad harder this year.

I used to go when I lived in Melbourne many moons ago as Johnno was my fave player and he often featured in the count.

Now I would love to go but its a bit out of my budget at the mo when I have to add an airfare from the GC on top.

Hope you all have a ball and yes, I think Moloney will get it.. I would love it if we could get a video of his speech as it would be from the heart and quite spine chilling too..

Good luck to all players..

It's sure to be a strange atmosphere - genuinely bitter sweet with the gloom surrounding a poor season, a sacked coach and departing young star meeting the optimism generated by the appointment of a popular new coach all set against the backdrop of a seriously ailing and much loved president. The club is at a genuine crossroads (when hasn't it?) and the tone of the B & F will reflect this. Wish I could be there.

It's been an emotional roller coaster ride from the Cats game right up till now. I went last year and loved it, but couldn't get fired up for this one, with all the DB sacking stuff and TS circus. But I'm rapt with the recent changes. Still, it takes a while to get over old relationships, so I too definitely feel it would be strange & bitter sweet. I'd rather get along to the B&F again when the recent past is a memory rather than a still-healing scar.

Would love to get highlights throughout the night if any posters can oblige please. Any mention of Jimmy gets top priority.

Vice-president Don McLardy addresses the 950 Demon faithful. It's been a tough year with a lot of challenges. He takes a shot at Scully - we dealt with the situation with professionalism and integrity (implying GWS and those associated with Scully didn't). Don says Jim won't stand down as long as he can stand up. He's not the type to surrender. And with that, he introduces Jim to the stunned fans.

Jimmy simply continues to be inspirational.

Two players on crutches Austin Wonaeamirri and Lucas Cook. Of course, if a certain former player who departed a couple of weeks ago was here, then I reckon there's a chance he might need them as well. OK, let's move on!

The new coach is about to make his first public appearance.

"It's been a big week in my life."

"I'm going to keep doing things my way".

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
