Come on...

Get real...

When Carl Ditterich lead Melbourne to it's worst ever defeat...

he said "next week", and left the changerooms without another word...

the team that defeated us that day was Fitzroy, remember them?

Later, we were humiliated by another team called South Melbourne, remember them?

I have lots of mates who were Fitzroy and South Melbourne...

They have not really enjoyed the premiershps, because they have not owned them...

we were born or converted to the red and blue...

no way we can change our tribe...

Get real people...

Regards to all,

Rollo

 

Nice one Rollo. You're so right about South and Fitzroy. I know this because I was a South supporter. My father used to take us to the Lake Oval rain, hail or shine. My cousins son now plays for Sydney and I follow his progress but, like many others, we felt betrayed and so left.

"we felt betrayed and so left"

Yep, same way I felt when some corpoate bastards swayed the vote to merge with hawthorn to create "deeks" or 'dawks"...

We owe our life to the the guys at Hawthorn who refused the merge...

Joe Gutnick stepped in to save us then,,,

Time for us remaining members to weather the storm on our own this time, I guess,,,

I've often wondered what might have happened if we'd won that round 22 game in 1996 vs the Hawks. Remembering that the Hawks would have missed the finals if they hadn't have won the game against us by 1pt.

I know that they hadn't voted on the merger proposal yet and them making the finals might have given their voting members more hope to stay as a non merged club (you'd think so anyway)

Had we already voted in favour of the merger before that game? 1 point might have changed history ... 1996 Season

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
