That last flag was on my wife's 12th Birthday!  (How is it possible for such a young buck as I to be married to such an old woman??  Oh, wait!  How old am I again...?  OOPS!!!)

Come on, Dees!  It's time!  Another flag in my lifetime, P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!!

Agreed. I worry that a small club like ourselves  will have our talent poached if we dont accelerate now. Its fun thinking about getting Gaff and or lever etc etc but one day  clubs will be picking over our bones too. We have to take this opening. Given global warming  the MCG might be underwater in 10 years...who knows. I say we go hard for the present moment .

Thanks Jack...I wasnt depressed enough about the season !!

I was standing in the crowd behind the goals in the open stand at the end to which Neil Crompton kicked the winning goal. What a joy to watch the ball sailing towards me.

Still have the Football Record from the day with the scorers marked. Had a photocopy signed by all the players who were at the 50th anniversary lunch three years ago.

Who thought that it would become a collectable. We expected more after 1964.

Go dees.

Its absolute disgraceful & sad that such a strong club which won so many flags in that era is enduring a 53yr premiership drought which is now the longest in AFL history....

Cant blame current players,coaches etc but until its broken the record will continue to grow!

I was there as a fifteen year old sitting in the Grey Smith stand stomping both feet on the floor boards after each Dees goal .

A survey at my bayside secondary school disclosed that we had the most supporters with the Sainters naturally not too far behind then absolute daylight third .

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
