This is the (good) flip side to all the Mad Mondays and other behaviour that can go wrong with 'Brotherhoods'. I know for a fact that each player is only compelled/contracted for very few non sponser/ compulsory events and these get taken up very quickly - this is very much a player driven in terms of wanting to be involved and JW and NJ stand a few inches taller in my eyes for it. Not everything has to be about cash, taking time and showing respect have worth too. I think the club if it has a social policy (not sure will check) should put its cash into engaging with youth, its where with a young group of men (our footballers) you will get most value for the most people. There are other services to help these guys of which they are most deserving. And the former CEO may have been a bit of a nong at people management, but he would have made sure cases like this got game tickets and the club i know and love has always been good at looking after special cases (and i don't see why it would have changed with PJ.

 

I did & I loved it... I certainly don't want to pour cold water on a great initiative...

my post is about the club following this up with support for Sam... remember, its Sam who is sick, & the interests of Sam's son, is best served by us helping Sam.

....... lets not put the cart before the horse.

We continually devalue life, by making everything about the romance of the so-called most vulnerable, (kids) & then once they're 19 or 20 the romance is over & we then tend to demonise males.

Hence, to me this should be about Sam in his hour of need, which inturn helps his son. by all means give gifts to the boy... but its Sam who needs the help & support. he is the one out on the limb by himself

Perhaps seeing the joy on his little boy's face is just the tonic he needed. If cynicism is your first option, perhaps you are best off just saying nothing. To me your words are totally redundant in this instance.

Well done Nugget and Jack and I trust Sydney and his dad will see more Dees wins next year and well into the future.

What a beautiful kid. Have a read of the comments on the MFC website and read what opposition supporters think of the video. Well done Nathan and Jack you did us proud! Jack was so big brotherly or even fatherly when he played with young Sydney and so gentle leading him onto the ground. I have always loved the mighty demons for more years than most of you (maybe even you Old Dee). This little story has made me more passionate than ever. Go Dees, go Roosy 2014.

 

For all the [censored] Jack cops on here you can never fault his relationship with kids. To see that beautiful child's face light up when he saw Jack walk into the living room with a cake is a moment im sure he will never forget.

That kid has a twinkle in his eyes its a beautiful sight to see.

Surely us supporters can donate some sort of donation to help these guys out?

St Kilda's entry has more views than us how can this be?

We need to get everyone you know to watch it and share it.

we are killing them in the shares and comments but which is great!

Excellent but lets really nail this one.

I hope Virgin offer the kid and his dad a holiday somewhere.


If we win does that mean we basically win a free trip to some altitude training?

Surely Riewoldt's used all his bandwidth by now, back to the mirror big fella. Nobody else would watch the crap

Yes

In reference to the person that one visit isnt worth that much.

I'd like to remind you that Colin Sylvia does this is in his spare time, he visits hospitals.

Colin is very big of his charity and finds it valuable

St Kilda's entry has more views than us how can this be?

Because more people enjoy watching footballers being tools than being charitable.

There is no doubt that our boys deserve to win, and that their video is head and shoulders above the other dumb entries made by foolish footballers.

If nothing else, I hope Virgin sends this adorable kid and his dad on a well deserved holiday.


I had my car washed this morning and this big bald guy covered in tatts who was also getting his car washed saw the MFC sticker on the back of my car and asked me had I seen the Virgin clip about the young Melbourne supporter with the sick dad. He was a St Kilda supporter and told me he had a quiet cry after viewing it and hoped they won the prize. He said the St Kilda clip was rubbish (he actually used more colourful language than that).

I have watched the clip so many times and send all of my love to this beautiful boy and his brave dad.

I started the topic on this Vid the other day. It's a beautiful, moving slice of what impact football has on our culture.

Now, in short. If we share this enough Virgin will pay for altitude training flights to the US.
The most likes and shares by Grand Final day gets the prize

We're in a tight race with St Kilda and Fremantle currently but we really are in with a chance here.

Go to this link https://www.facebook.com/virginaustralia , like the Melbourne post and share it to your page.

Who knows what it will lead to.

Go Dees.

Yeah, its the top 3. I said 'the most' as not to be too precise. If i said top 3 people might have been less enthused.

You see i'm trying to be a bit manipulative. I'm a bad person you see.

Which should also mean don't be a dill and have a look or share of the OTHER clubs vids like some twits I've seen on Facebook. Go back and have a look after the comp is over if you're really that keen. I mean St Kilda players rapping WGAF! That's Mad Monday schoolboy stuff.

Well sometimes you just have to be bad to be good.

Not for Saint Kilda it ain't. I see no dwarves being set alight in that vid!!!! They should honestly be too embarrassed to submit an entry considering their behaviour.

The saints one is absolute trash. No wonder they are the laughing stock of the AFL!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
