I wish the MCC could set up a live feed, to Perth and fans could go to the G to watch the game?

Great idea. Trouble is the cost to the MCC,  of having the ground open and secured and staffed. Then again if everyone paid $10 they could get thousands there.

This is where we are disadvantaged by not having a home base.  Other teams can set up screens at Punt Rd, Vic Park, Western Oval etc etc etc.

It seems the club is looking for a suitable spot to set up the live feed and show vision to the team. 

 

Edit:  SEN just interviewed Mahoney and he said venues to watch the game:

  • Fed Square
  • Sporting Globe at Richmond
  • Sporting Globe Ferntree Tree Gully
  • Casey venue (didn't hear where)

I guess vision to players will be from one or more of those venues.

I wonder if Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Farmer can get a movement going, the official 'Freo supporters who are ok about Melbourne and hate the Eagles' seating area.

Just imagine the ruckus! :D

Yes Jeffy yes, that exactly what we need. Any little advantage we can get to take their focus off the game should be explored.

I'm not sure how this helps the players during the game.

Remember that tablet set up in front of the bench i mentioned on the podcast. Maybe instead of key statistics and messages and tactical information it could show a feed of the sporting globe?

(by the by i said on the podast that i assumed most clubs would have something similar. Perhaps they do but i have looked for it at our games, on the replays and other televised matches and have not seen any other examples).

That still boggles my mind! Must be some decent binos!

What about hiring a Jumbo flying over the Ground??

Nephew used my codes, and got tickets for 4 people, up behind the Dees cheer sqaud.

Lucky he is with a couple of  mates who can go a bit, as his mouth is Shrek sized when the Dees are playing.

 

Hopefully we can get enough voices there to be heard.

I think the ferals over there will lift our players and they will soar higher than the Eagles. Maybe it will be burnt wings!

So apparently Neil Mitchell has spoken with someone at channel 7 that is prepared to work with the club to ensure that the broadcaster focuses on a select group of Demons fans for Goodwin to refer to for motivation - considering how negative the environment can be. 

They're called a cheer squad? And the dude sporting Woewodins hair style looks to be the prime motivator

Our Cheer Squad are more than capable of matching West Coast for enthusiasm. I have seen them go wild quite a few times.

This is hilarious.

Someone suggested as a joke on a Facebook group that we all buy tickets and not attend. Mitchell has caught wind and run a story about it.

It’s all over the evening news here as well. 

Eagles supporters labelling it as “bad sportsmanship” the clowns.

I just love the last two games, both times the crowds were amazing. 

I think a lot of people would go to the G to watch it on the big screen, just a thought.

Is it 100% at fed square?

Do the Freo Dockers have a forum? Might be an idea to engage the purple army to join the cause and use up some food those tickets to support the dees.

 

What a great idea! Free snacks for all Freo supporters at the Optus Oval in Perth if they wear Red'nBlue on the day.

Considering they're on the same network 6PR and 3AW having a feud has about as much legitimacy as a WWE match. They would have cooked this up the moment Melbourne - West Coast was confirmed.

These Western Australian muppets should boo themselves for being sucked in by such obviously artificial outrage.

And I've seen them be rather disappointing more that a few times too.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
