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

    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!

    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.

    • 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.

      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.
