I was down at Sorrento with my family today (if you see the afl story Demons escape heat at Sorrento) my family were in the background. The best way for my four boys to keep the faith in the Dees in these tough times is to meet and talk with the players. I must say Jack Trengrove and Nathan Jones were really good with my boys but the stand out again was Jak Watts he was fantastic, kicking the ball with them and posing for photos, this is really good for morale. I know about all the negative talk and feeling and frustration, I feel it too. But to boo and turn our backs on our club at this point in time what does that achieve??

    gbhill, thanks for passing that on... It certainly speaks volumes about the character of Jack Watts, our young Captain and the Jones boy.

    Loving the energy around this guys. Most positive stuff I've read on this forum for a long time :)

    Can't wait till Friday.

    I have sent and email to David Schwarz to see if he can mention the details re training on his show. I am not sure if he will? It is worth a try.

    Garry Lyon might be willing to mention it on the footy show/footy classified - is that on Thursday nights? (i don't watch it)

    Last days of school hols, I'll be there with my short suffering demon supporting kids! Great idea, so good to read some positivity. Details anyone?

    demondame, I suggest we aim to be there around 9:30 for a listed 9:45 start to training. As it is Friday, the senior group will probably train lightly for 45 minutes or so. Some may even remain inside. However, if our numbers are impressive, word might get around that this is a training session not to be missed. The idea is to simply let the playing group know that we are a resilient bunch who will support them as they find a way to turn the season around.

    Great work with the tweets. Would suggest sending one to Neil Mitchell, just for the ppl that may have missed what was mentioned on his show. Also SEN, if they have an account.

    I thought this quote from Dr Who over at 'Ology very relevant to what were trying to achieve on Friday morning. It comes from the thread about the volunteer membership drive. (the underlining and bold text are mine)

    "Go Dees
    First & Forever

    Just for the record this membership drive programme really opens your eyes to the real MFC. We have had ex-players (Stevie Powell) at our nights, Mark Neeld & Neil Craig. CS popped in and I got the chance to have a chat with him. You read so much rubbish about our club in the media - please sorry to take a Molly Meldrum quote - but "do yourself a favor" come and see the real MFC."

    A request to moderator / site manager... I would like to insert the word "Rally" in the heading for this thread, as in

    Ellie McKenzie is going to make sure the Training gets tweeted today, and corresponding with Burgo to get it up on website, we need a few more twitterers......Good morning to the 2 musketeers WYL and Dr Gonzo, do you think Caroline Wilson will make our efforts out to be delusional......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
