Lets get a big crowd to the MCG next Saturday night vs Bulldogs



Recommended Posts

Posted

No excuses.

We have a new coach, and one that doesnt accept 6 goal losses let alone 15 goal ones.

Peter Jackson is here now and he is getting the place in shape.

Whether you hated Neeld, Schwab, McLardy or anyone else it doesn't matter anymore. Thats ancient history.

The club has been bleeding financially and a lot of that is thanks to small crowds.

This week is a home game under lights at the G, 7.40 Saturday.

The boys are coming off a good showing where the result would have been only a few goals if not for cheap free kicks in front of goals to St Kilda.

Neil Craig had us playing a proper brand of footy, and for once we matched the opposition in disposals.

Jimmy Toumpas was very good and will just get better. Mitch Clisby was a revelation. Jack Watts is on the verge of a monster game. Could it be this week?

We Melbourne supporters must get to the MCG in droves to show Neil Craig, the players and the AFL that we mean business and we are ready to watch this club rise again.

This is a 50/50 game and the extra support will help the players, help the spirit of the club and help financially.

GET TO THE G THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AND OUTNUMBER THE DOGS SUPPORTERS 2-1!!! GO DEMONS!!!!!!

Don't mean to be a negative nancy but its the night of the Wallabies and British Lions tour at Etihad... but I'm sure the AFL didn't realise that when they were sorting out the fixtures - like how they forgot to give us a Friday night game.

I mean its a pretty spontaneous event, only once in every 12 years, and not really a big deal, just a sell out crowd of 55,000

Ah, that's unfortunate. Will definitely have an impact on the crowd at our game, I'm sure.

We're safe on that front. As if Melbourne supporters would go to Etihad.

Mrs Frankie will be accompanying me, Frankie Junior and the two daughters - one of whom, I regret to say, goes for the Doggies. I can only put his down to a cosmic ray phenomenon - no family influences, nothing. Just decided she liked them when she was about 5, and stuck. All of us will be there for the women's game first.

slack frankee boy

should've belted the kid until she understood the terms of contract DEE family for life

see you on the weekend, hope all goes well

I will be there......

As this seems like our most likely chance of a victory in Melbourne, perhaps the shock late inclusions of Clark, Grimes and Viney are necessary. We could drop them into the ground with a helicopter an hour before the bounce..... Clark wearing a sumo suit to prevent any further injuries, Grimes in a giant inflatable bubble and Viney sporting tissue boxes for footy boots.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
