Oliver's handball.

September?

The missus, my wee Demon who was born start of season (that extends well beyond August & doesn't know anything different), Michael Hibberd, Jordan Lewis & whoever invented chicken salt.

 

Clayton Oliver - he gets a hard tag every week, breaks it and still dishes close to 3o sublime handballs a game.

then you give him a second and he can hit a target like Ablett Jnr.

............four consecutive wins over the dreaded Pies .   Just one more  ....please............PLEASE !

I am grateful for Hells Bells being played as the players run out, but then left shattered by the quick shut off and replacement of the Grand Old Flag.  I know its our club song but its also ACDC.  Its appropriate for our team.  Turn it up louder, don't cut it off.  Pump it up!!!! Its the right thing to do. 

 


I'm grateful for Tom Wills, Henry Harrison and the others who invented the best, damn game in the world. Win, lose or draw, it's given me years of enjoyment (the wins, of course, being that much more enjoyable).

Anyone else reckon Clarry looks like Bluey Truscott?

He IS Bluey Truscott. Reincarnation, baby, reincarnation. Ommmmmmmmm..........

Having the MCG as our home ground.We shouldn't take it for granted.Imagine being moved to That Stadium!

The stress that Buckley is under with a potential lawsuit for his treatment of Heritier and of course the cloud of doubt over his performance ?


Jesus our lord for given us Jason Taylor who picked  Bluey Truscott the second, he will win many of them too, Eddie for being   so stubborn that he can never admit he's wrong Buckley will keep them out of the finals forever, Mr and  Mrs viney.

In no particular order . . .

The big No. 1

The big No. 11

The fact we invented the bloody game

The fact we have the most realistic and authentic supporters in the league (with Footscray just behind us)

This may be a cringeworthy comment for some / many / most, but for my many sins, I must live in an AFL 'backwoods' known as Canberra, and I'm extremely grateful to Demonland for keeping me in touch with everything, both real and unreal, about the Melbourne Football Club, as we approach September ...........  (having said that, I may well hate Demonland come Saturday evening ...... lol).

I had the unfortunate experience of living in SA for a period.  Sorry Croweaters, it is a beautiful state and has a lot of redeeming features particularly it's festivals, beaches and wine. 

But for a football lover that craves football news, you may as well be on the moon. The only footy news consists of training reports and match reports of the Crows and Port.  It's the AFL but you may as well be listening to reports on the SANFL.  

Living in Canberra is like living in a fog where anti-depressants and a weekly exit to a living place is the only solace. 

Living in SA is like living in White Australia in the 1950s where there is no news outside the State. It's a strange feeling to be living in the middle of the country yet feel so isolated.  

However, my best wishes to all those Norwood fans and mighty South Aussies that support the Demons and other Victorian clubs. There are plenty but I don't know how they do it!

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
