Well I was up early today awaiting a call from Neil Mitchell but it seems the James Hird story took over and there wasnt enough time for a quick plug. A bit disappointing considering his assistant called me twice yesterday to make sure I was available for a chat. She did say however that she will do her best to get Neil to mention something about it.

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......

Excellent stuff

Will be there

 

Messaged the FB page too.

Let's do this


I will be there tomorrow.

I have never been to training before in my life, but this is spmething that has to be done.

I urge any Demon upporter to get down there and show full support to to Don, he players and coaches.

A big crowd will mean a positive news story and show that the MFC has many people willing to fight for it.

Weather report for Friday 9:30am..."Mostly clear, 17"

Even if it's pouring rain, it wont get our spirits down. I'm pretty sure we all still adore our football club. I've been a member since I was two years old, my dad has been a member all his life too, and we'll be damned if this club folds. I think everyone on this forum will be damned if this club folds, and im sure our 30,372 members WILL BE DAMNED if this club folds.

Let's show our love, lets give these boys confidence

Get around the dees

 

Man I'm on a social networking rampage at the moment. People are going to hate me for spamming. Oh well


Sent Emma Quayle at the age an email with the story, including the official hashtag. Hopefully she can post it on twitter or raise some awareness. Quite a talented writer. Looking forward to tomorrow! Go dees!

Tagged about twenty or so players in my instagram post, a couple of which have already 'liked' it. Hopefully they can post about it too


Anything inter-state fans can do?

Okay, am arranging to sack work tomorrow to be there for the boys and am going to add to the social media snowball campaign now.

Let's do this.

Top effort from you guys, and I really hope that get some good numbers there as a show of support to the team!

... gonna be a lot of good training reports coming back I hope!!! :)

When you arrive at the recreational land south of Swan street tomorrow morning, take a few seconds to look out on the fenced off oval adjacent to Punt Road known as Gosch's Paddock. Be aware that it was Charles La Trobe (lieutenant-governor) who in 1839 showed great foresight in reserving this land for recreational purposes.


The first game of Australian football was played in the Richmond Paddock, on the other side of the railway line to the north, in 1858. A year later Wills and Harrison drew up the first rules for our game in the Parade Hotel (now the MCG Hotel), which is just a short walk up the hill from the Paddock. This was only a few days after the Melbourne Football Club had been formed.


So there you have it... Our great club predates the rules of the game under which we compete. Need I say anymore about our right to be here and our purpose in supporting the young men who now wear our colours?


FIRST & FOREVER!


The Fatman will be at his first ever training session tomorrow in support of this GREAT club - Go Dees

Even though I have been as deflated as a Collingwood-supporting-dentist over the past week, and have posted about no longer being able to emotionally invest... I just can't help myself. I will rearrange my day tomorrow and get to training somehow.

Red and Blue until I die.

Edit: I just posted it on my Facebook page. Heaps of my extended family are supporters and/or members. Can't wait to get there.

Love it Maldonboy!

Some of you folks who are on the fence look like you might be coming down with something which could impede you're ability to work tomorrow.

There is a red and blue flu going around ;-)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
