Howdy all

A little story to clarify this thread. I am a long time Cubs fan and anyone who watches American sport would know the Cubs are the loveable losers. For anyone who follows baseball they would also know that a rookie Cubs team (with a few class vets) are taking the league by storm and are playing the Mets in the National League Championship game this Sunday.

Back to my point - I watched this video the other day and after watching it I though damn it would be good if the Dees could do something like this as well for a promotion for the 2016 season. Love or hate American sport/Media they do, do their sports coverage very well and we could actually take a leaf from their book on Media. I am not saying follow the yanks - just the media aspect.

I'm also not saying the Dees will make finals in 2016 but hell who cares - I am excited for where the Dees are going - the first time in a long time I feel we are building something good.

For anyone who'd like to watch that Cubs video - it really is worth a watch. And we (MFC) are and should be proud of our history as well. I thought it was a great montage of current and the past.

Wouldn't it be great to see highlight of some of the old boys, and good times mixed with the excitement for 2016. I just thought it was really good and would love to see some stuff like this on the MFC website

Just an idea on how to improve - It may not deserve its own thread but hopefully generates some discussion

 

A whole surge of videos like that were made by some quite skilled amateurs, during the surge of optimism in 2009.

This first one will break you heart for the irony of the hope and the players who feature. The second one is more precisely what you are talking about - the weaving of history into present. The third is similar to the second but a little more upbeat.

Melbourne Football Club - Dog Days Are Over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fyap0IWMIg Melbourne Football Club - I and Love and You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcJR_FBpjTk Melbourne Football Club - Fly One Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZegpPlNaG0

If I recall correctly, the author of a few of these (on youtube as MFCNOW) impressed the club so much that he was given a number 31 jumper signed by Barassi specifically for the occasion.

So, if there's anyone out there keen to make a fresh one, get to it!

Nice to hear from a fellow baseball fan! I'm a bucs fan, so naturally I'm pretty annoyed with the cubs knocking us out in the wild card game.....

One thing the cubs, mets, astros and pirate's have is an excellent farm system for AAA and AA players. All teams are on the rise due to spending great time and effort into developing talent from the ground up.

Wish your Cubbies luck in the NLCS and world series if you get there.

Wowee. That is almost pathetic. I hope the person that made that refrains from making another one until we at least make the top four, talk about premature.

A fellow Cubs fan, ripper!

I've been thinking about the similarities between the Cubs and Dees lately, because there are plenty.

Go Cubs go!

I haven't forgotten about some of the amateur work - it has been very good. Love the passion from our supporter base. it's a shame somehow we couldn't get some more of it on a regular basis.

One of my all time fav Demon media is from the 80s I think.... I was young back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGDj6-7hy4Y What a cracker - I really wish there was more of this.... I know we haven't had much to cheer lately, but I do feel there is some good similarities of that Cubs video to the Dees now

Maybe I've just drank too much haha and forgotten how bad we were.. But again getting ahead of myself I would love to see a 2016 version of C'mon Demons' by the club would be a ripper way to start 2016 seaons

Would love to see a lot more armature and official Demon Media out there...... It's probably been done already on another thread but please keep posting Demon Hype Media

With the risk of dee-railing the thread completely - love the Cubbies

Gee the Bucs looked good all year - I was hoping they'd do well. STL, CHC and PIT all had great seasons. The Cubs baseball at the moment is the most exciting I've seen in a long long time. Wowee they are on fire

A fellow Cubs fan, ripper!

Go Cubs go!

Can't wait for Sunday game - to beat the Bucs, red birds and to win a postseason series at Wrigley has been amazing year

I wish I could get to Wrigley

Go Cubs Go

I made that video in 2009, originally it was just meant to be a highlights package of Liam Jurrah but I added in some other Melbourne moments as well and took Liam's name out of the title after he went to prison. I was overseas at the time and didn't get to see much of Melbourne so I relied on snippets of footage on YouTube and decided put them all together to music.

The "Dog Days Are Over" is a reference to the song used in the video which was popular at the time and worked well with footage that was available.

Thanks for your feedback, I can't wait to see your efforts

Don't listen to the hate Clint

They were bloody good efforts, I think so anyway.

I love a good hype video - C'mon demons is my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGDj6-7hy4Y

And as I said earlier I would love to see a 2016 version of C'mon Demons

I would also love to see the type of Hype videos like the Cubs one I originally posted. So keep making the Clint. I think they're great

Look CB, haters are going to hate, hate, hate. You know what I do? I shake it off, I shake it off. ....Yeah ohhhhh

They were heady days in 2009. Sylvia, Morton, Jones, Mclean and Grimes all clocked 20+ disposals a game and looked like the core of a well balanced young midfield, with Clint Bartram considered one of the best young taggers around.

Watts was still an unknown and exciting forward prospect, Jurrah was sending everyone cross-eyed, and Petterd was shaping as the ideal medium forward. Even Bate looked dangerous and capable.

Rivers and Frawley were standing up as the kind of tall defenders who can win premierships - which they have both done, oddly enough.

And when those videos were made, we were on our way to the draft with 4 picks in the first round.

We finished the next season with 8 wins, one draw, and a percentage of 94.5. It really wasn't crazy to believe in a great future in October 2009.

Seriously Django has the pain of recent season just been so much that you've suppressed the trauma of watching golden promises turn to ash?

We weren't crazy, we were robbed.

Yeah... look, I'm not going to take back my comments as that is how I feel. Hindsight is a difficult thing. I probably would have been up and about with that clip when it was made, but I didn't see it then. So, the only perspective I have of it is in the now, and that's my impression of it, sorry. I'll make a clip when we are doing well and forward you a link, personally.

Agree with the thrust of the post, but at least this didn't happen.

Even in the now, todays perspective and hindsight, it's still a good uplifting clip Clint, despite what has transpired.

    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.

    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.
