MFC game 100 this weekend I believe. Been fantastic for the club.

Any special banner planned @WalkingCivilWar?

Edit: he just recently had his 150th afl game, can't remember if he got a banner then. Don't want him to get too much or an ego.

Yes, Rick had a special banner for his 150th. And it was a ripper. 🤗

For players who’ve come from another club, we acknowledge their overall AFL games tally, but not their MFC-only games tally. As you said, he’s been fantastic for the Club. He’s also a big hit with the cheer squad. He’s super friendly and imho is easily the funniest of them all.

    With the Demons officially in the final 4, the best pick the Crows can hope for now from us is pick 15.

    Some teams just don't know how to death ride. 🤣

    Not to jinx it, but I assume DA is preparing an amazing banner for Maxy for round 23 @WalkingCivilWar... 
     

    I repeat, no jinx!

    Definitely! Only the best for our incredible captain.

    Jinx? What jinx? No jinx to be seen here.  🤞🏼 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Yes, it is. It will be a shared banner for them. It’s been done before and we still have it looking amazing.

    By the by, I’ve been counting the rounds down to Nibbler’s 150 for a while now. Two reasons: first, I love Nibs and I’m stoked for him that he’s reached this milestone, and secondly because I’m imagining all the Nibbler-bashers boo-hooing coz he’s still getting a game every week. Every single week. 🥳🤩🤗

    May needs to start producing some offspring. His dogs unfortunately don’t count. Cute as they are.

    Oh that’s right! He needs to have kids, I forgot about that. Can’t have a father-son/daughter without the son/daughter part of the deal. 😁

    100% I think there should be a round of Mea Culpas as tribute, you guys know who you are, I'll even take you off ignore to read them.

    Special request to please reference Max almost single-handedly ruining Cory Enright's 300th with a break-out performance. Gawn had notched up less than 30 appearances by that stage in his career.

    What a man, what a leader.

    Thank you for choosing Melbourne as the club you wanted to ply your trade at Jake. You're a massive part of all of this and we are eternally grateful.

    His only downside is that he's friends with BT 😄

    Stunning! Pencil, charcoal, graphite? 

    I couldn't dream of doing something like this.

    Just good old fashioned pencil!  Started with a 2H and then slowly layered in using HB and 3B, then used a mechanical pencil to ensure some of the sharper details were still defined... very much a slow art piece (maybe done over a month?)

    That's patience right there.

    I recall all the negative media about Melbourne over paying for him at the trade table. 

    Here we are 100 games later with a premiership defender and potential future captain.

    Is this a Gary Sidebottom thread?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
