50 years straight as a member is huge

The least the club could do is give the poor bloke a premiership!

    Is it possible that this guy is the curse?

    He has wasted much of his life.

    His sanity must also come into question.

    The club needs to cut all ties with this man immediately.

    For his own benefit.

    Club needs to provide free counselling for pain & suffering...

    Goes to show how far off the mark the club has been in the last 50yrs in getting things right across all departments...

    No reflection on current regime, but recognition of milestone members would not be the highest thing on their list....

    Why wouldn't it be ? No members, no club.

    I have received my 50th year recognition a certificate and a pin. I really appreciate the acknowledgement.

    I'm a believer in the famous words of JFK ... "ask not what my country do for me but what I can do for my country"

    We're all different and that's fair enough.

    I would have loved to have seen a premiership by now though.

    Onya Frank, great attitude mate.

    It's amazing that all us old supporters don't have a drinking problem.

    I don't have a drinking problem, it's getting enough to drink is the problem.

    I can hear a groan from some seriously OLD DEEs

    Know the feeling PD, as we get older we don't drink any more.

    Or any less.

    I certainly don't drink any more or less and there will be no New Years resolution to change.

    I am still looking forward to enjoying a 2002 bottle of Robbie Flower, signature collection Rare Old Tawny Port when the dees make the finals.

    I won't save it for a premiership as the port would probably remain unopened in my lifetime.

    I can go one better... I got the Ron Barassi returns to the Dees signature collection port 1981.

    nutbean I hope it is Tawny because if it is Vintage port it will be dead in the bottle.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
