Only 12 ......
More like 50.
We've been garbage for as long as I remember.
And even when we were good in the late 80' and early 2000's we were still garbage.

And Hawthorn supporters have lived a charmed existence since the early 70s.
Dunno what the under 25yrs old stuff is about.

    At three quarter time in the 1971 Grand Final, St Kilda was leading Hawthorn by 20 points. At that stage, each had won a single Grand Final while we had won 12. Since then, St Kilda has kicked on with multiple wooden spoons while Hawthorn now has 13 Premierships...and we've still got 12.

    Just bought the book last night chook.

    Now we've made the finals, I'm mentally sound enough to read through the disaster that has been.

    If we'd missed the finals again I couldn't have gone near it.

    Still feel guilty for what I put my kids through.

    Is it really 600 odd pages?

    Oh right so its not what I pictured where it might be 400 pages and 370 blank pages for vomit catchment and readers to draw pictures of Neeld with stink lines? :)

    I suggest carrying a copy and throwing it at him or Schwab if you see them in the street.

    Great video and reminder of where this club has come from. Friday night is a great opportunity to turn a new page and hopefully make Geelong regret they made the finals.

    Almost 50/50 in fact.

    Just want to add that 5:55 has really stuck in my craw. I hated it then and I hated seeing it now.

    I know there’s nothing wrong with it and I like Lingy and Gaz but it’s quite annoying.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
