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!

#demonunity

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.

Edited by Maldonboy38

 

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 ;-)

  • 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.
