Be careful sitting on the fence dc the splinters can be awful.

true od, but in this case i find it hard to get the balance between objectivity and subjectivity acceptable

as for splinters....pfffft.... what's a bit more pain to a dees supporter

i think we should more correctly refer to it as "the abomination"

and....any numbers concerned with mfc victories are so infinitesimally small as to be considered lacking in any significance

Versus the Red and blue milestone that has been around our neck for fifty years dc.

We will win no more than 6 -7 games next year and all will be in the New MFC colours.

As an order of priorities the "old one " should be dispensed with before we worry about JW IMO

In fact I think he maybe responsible!

I had an interesting phone call this morning.

Melbourne United Team rang me to ask if I was going to pay my membership for this season.

When I said No that I have never been a member before they said but you were a member last year.

To which I answered that I was a member of the TIGERS NBL team but as that entity no longer existed I could no longer be a member.

And I had no intention of joining a new team, the Tigers no longer existed so my interest in the NBL had been extinguished.

After a little bit of light banter the person admitted this was a common story.

It will be interesting to see how this re branding of the Tigers goes.

I suspect that they will struggle I have been a member/ supporter for 30 years but I have little interest.

It ain't the Tigers!

A Mut does not a Tiger make !! Did you tell them theyre barking mad if they thought youd re-sign ?

No bb

first I am not as clever as you the MUT reference and

I wanted to keep it fairly light as it is not the person who had to rang's decision

They just get the crappy job of ring a Tiger members like me.

A bit harsh imo. It's still the same club, same players, same people, and it's considerably different to what any potential change to MFC there would be. The Tigers' change was part of a broader problem for basketball and the NBL in this country, and tbh I think they were the only group prepared to make a hard decision. Tigers support and NBL support were dwindling. I was a Spectres, Giants, Titans, Magic fan and then turned off completely. The whole point is to "unite" everyone under the same banner, because having 2, 3, 4, 5 clubs in the city divided what is a pretty small support base interested in domestic professional leagues. The NBL and particularly the Tigers as one of the league's stalwarts need to make major changes.

To be frank I think they expected people like yourself to drop off and people like myself to jump on board.

Then the plan is working perfectly

But one and one off not much of a gain IMO.

The reason why I posted it is just to show what would happen to any side that changed significantly.

If the MFC changed to the Tassie devils and where green and yellow it would be just that to me the Tassie Devils not The Melbourne Demons.

My team has gone so have I.

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    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 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.
