2 things that stood out for me;

1. How good could Trapper have been? We didn't get the best out of him. If there has been a player on our list in the past 20 years with silkier skills than him, I'd like to know who they are. Regardless of your personal opinion of him, his best was every bit of a superstar, just a shame we didn't get to witness it enough.

2. Has any Club had to deal with as much crap as we have had to since the merger days? While I take a strong interest in all clubs, I can't remember any of them having such a roller-coaster ride like we have had to deal with. Maybe the Kangaroos have put up with a fair bit, but we've had proposed mergers, finals every 2nd year, flogged in a grand final, 2 wooden spoons in a row, the Broadbridge tragedy, 186, $cully.

I was very emotinal watching the youtube clip (bugger you Muzza!!). I support the Demons because of my late father who passed last year, and sadly, we never got to share the ultimate success with each other. Looking at the ride we've been on, especially since 1987 (I, like many on here, was at the Western Oval, and sadly at VFL Park), you have to sometimes ask yourself "why the bloody hell do I barrack for these guys?" Doesn't take long to realise that you only have red and blue blood running through you, and that question of why fast becomes a question of why not. I had a friend's Mum ask me last year "who is your 2nd favourite team", my answer was simple, "Melbourne". I don't have 2 teams, I am Melbourne and only Melbourne. I can't imagine what it feels like to win a premiership, but I have a feeling that it will be the most satisfying and emotional day ever.

Billy, I was at our last GF win in '64 and as an11 year old could not appreciate it fully as we were always in the finals those days. I would do anything to see another one and would not be sobar for about 4 weeks. Brought a tear to my eye

Almost 900 views... Wonder if any converted into memberships... Not enough tho if we want to smash 40000 members. Anyone have any ideas on how we can get this vid out there to even more supporters?

Well I've sent it out as an email link to everyone I know . Well received too . Getting comments back like "Wish my club would do something like this" etc etc . 'Spose if all our email recipients then send it on ...................

Cheers

 

Just linked to your video on facebook, which probably won't do much. But hey, at least I'm getting the word out there as best I can!

Every little bit helps! At the moment we are tracking behind the members we had last year by about 1500 we are going to have to do something to get 40000 for Jimmy!

Recent events have taken me back here viewing my vid again remembering why I started this project. The idea was to capture the good and bad and show that through it all the club with its members and supporters by its side could get through anything, just as we will get through this and come out the other side stronger for it.

We have over 1000 views! #Target40000

Didn't Cameron Schwab tweet it? It'd be great if some of the players did the same, or the mfc facebook group threw it up

Recently I've noticed quite a few people have begun to lose their faith in the club (all over again), so I thought this video deserved a timely bump. All credit to DemonMuzza for creating such a great tribute to the team we love.

Go Dees!

I dont know how many times I have watched this and each time the emotions that it stirs amazes me. The team walking off together is the most provocatively emotional scene one which the boys should watch today in light of Greeny's 250th.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
