Rode passed the 'G tonight and happened to snap this pic. Thought it would be nice for all 'Landers to enjoy the moment in a week that's been good for football (i.e. when the Dees win). Hope the trimmed down resolution still looks OK.

Giles. Looking at your avatar I am sure I have seen you working as a hipster, barista in a cafe down in Abbotsford. Is that why you were riding passed the Gee? Amazing how hairstyles and facial hair from the 80's has reappeared.

That's sweet as.It might inspire BBO to install a similar lightshow out at the Romsey manor if he hasn't done so already.

Gilles do you have one of those hipster bikes? You know plenty of chrome, no gears, no bracks, no gears, no accessories just minimalism two wheels and a frame.

Red and Blue are also the MCC's colours (with some white)

When I started following the Dees they were officially the "Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club" (one of the MCC sporting sections along with lawn bowls, lacrosse, etc)!

Are again, in a limited way. The MFC used to be part of the MCC, and was run as part of the MCC. This stopped in 1980 when the MFC and MCC split and the MFC become a public company limited by guarantee. The two re-joined in a limited way in 2009. The MFC is now back being a 'sporting section' of the MCC but we are still a public company run independently of the MCC. Essentially we have gained the rights of being a sporting section of the MCC without loosing our independence. Kind of like the best of both worlds.

Now all the MCC need to do is provide us with a training base in Yarra Park and we will be fully back where we belong!

Its the same in New York. When the Rangers (ice hockey) team win they light up the Empire State building in Melbourne Footy Club colours.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
