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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
