I think this is a great move, even if we consider meeting for a Demonland wake after the event. I also think we should consider getting Jaded or others to design a suitable tie or neck scarf for Demonlanders to wear and be noticed for this type of event.We could recognise each other and be a voice for each other.

Isn't it enough just to wear our scarf for Jimmy.

In thinking about tomorrow, I thought, it may be great to have a united front for this occasion. Your thoughts?

No offence, but I would have thought that every single person attending the service would be united in their grief?

Definately no offence taken, just thought we may consider a meeting place.

I just wish I could attend, but being in Sydney means I will just have to be there in spirit... I do however, hope to make it down for the round 4 clash with the Doggies. Are there any plans for some sort of a meet-up on that day?

I agree, we will be Melbourne supporters, united to honour a great player, President and person...it is not about us

Its fine to plan to meet afterwards but its not appropriate to draw attention to yourself at a funeral. Its time to honour and pay respect to someone who has an important place in MFC history. Wearing the MFC scarf should be sufficient.

They are expecting a crowd of 10,000 at Federation Square tomorrow. I think it would be very difficult to find anyone.

With all due respect to savoydee there was no turning of attention to oneself she wassimply suggesting to meet up with some demonlanders and mourn with them. No different to meeting your family at the wake... Fine if it's not for you but don't make it out like she's got sinister intentions.

For me it's an appropriate time to celebrate his life where I truly believed was where Jimma start came from in Australia and that's this weekend. An MFC game at the !Mecca of football MCG

A united walk to the G from the Cricketers Arms would be a good time to celebrate his time on earth and the holy ground across the road!! And would be welcomed to meet other brethren b4 the season proper

I will post later in the week on this, when the times appropriate and hope you'll join us

All the best trow to the humble loyal brethren out there and RIP JimmyS

How on earth did you get "sinister intentions" out of what I wrote???? It was simply the choice of the words "united front" that I was responding to... I certainly never insinuated that savoydee had any "sinister intentions" in saying that... but I have no issue with saying that yours is an overreaction.

Chook you obviously knew Jimmy personally & well. And if you did you should be front and centre ! Were all grieving mate

Me on the other hand other than meeting him a few times felt that my best MFC times was together with my fellow demons brethren watching and cheering the incredible feats of the great man. Funerals are to share & remmbere good times with friends and reflect on life So get off your high horse & stop being a morose twit

Wow a lot of fussing over semantics in this thread guys.

But it sounds like we've sorted things.

A drink after together sounds like a great idea if someone wants to make a suggestion, unfortunately I can't be there.

Otherwise we can band together for round 4 because I can't imagine the great man disapproving. Everything he did in life was about getting people together.

No more picking on each other either way, it's ridiculous. Funerals can mean whatever you want as a personal thing, as long as you respect others beliefs.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
