1939 was the last year that Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood played together in a finals series. Hard to believe.

    That is amazing.

    Incredible. And there is even a possibility that all three could play eachother!

    Richmond (1st) deafeats Collingwood (4th)

    Melbourne defeats Collingwood in the Semi, and finds their way to the Grand Final against Richmond.

    It would be like the finals were turned into a commemorative special event in honour of the MCG.

    What's even more incredible is that there is a big chance one of them is a runner up to us as we win the flag.

    And who were premiers in '39, '40 and '41? ?

    I think it was in 1940 Melbourne had apoliceman tagging Jack Dyer.

    The only time Jack Dyer was suspended was when my grandfather, a goal umpire, reported him.  Quite proud of that.

    AFL house will be like some “Manor” in Romsey this morning. Jolly good floggings all over the place, the AFL would mandate 2 of 3 of Dons, Tigs or Pies are to play finals every season if they could.

    Add in 1 Cinderella bottom feeder team like Saints, Dees, North or Dogs.

    Stir with GWS and at least 1 team from each other state and you have jolly good floggings at AFL house..

    First time since Pies and Hawks officially joining Demons (No.1 tenant) and Tigers in 2000 as primary tenants of the ‘G’ that all four tenants have made the finals in the same year. 

    Time to kick them curbside.

    Are we a tenant club? I was always under the impression that we were a home club and I think this was confirmed when we were accepted as a sporting section of the MCC again .. I believe all others are tenant

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
