20 sec to go in video, Angus and Max jumping up and down on the bench, thumping their chests, pictures of the G pumping as well, huge huge love. 

Whose Fight

Our Fight 

Our House!

 

Far out, that sent shivers down my spine. Might give up my morning coffee and just drink this down every day instead.


The overhead shot of Hannan taking that ball was awesome, never seen it before.

Must watch those 2 games again...

He ran a long way with 90,000 people on his shoulders. 

He did a mighty job to stay cool and slot it

Yes i saw it at the time from the ground, but in all the highlights, ive never seen it from that angle! He was in a ton of space, perfect.

I’m ready to run through a brick wall!!

 

On the 11th of January this year my Dad died unexpectadly of a heart attack. He was a fit and healthy man only 65 years old with everything to look forward to. His mum is still alive at 100 years of age and his dad died at 90.

As he lived up the country with Mum, my last three great memories of time spent with my Dad were the Melbourne v Geelong game, the Melbourne v Hawthorn Game and Christmas. Needless to say that video smacked me in the guts hard and had me weeping like a baby.

Im really scared about this year, not because I think we will be bad, but because there is every possibility we could be very, very good and if our wildest dream comes true, I will be completly inconsolable for so many reasons.

If you see a 6 foot tall, skinny bloke with shaved head balling his eyes out on that one day in September, please throw your arm around him and remind him to enjoy the moment, because his a dad waited 54 years for that moment and will have fallen 8 months short.

Encapsulating where the club is at is a difficult thing but that video, starting with the pain of the Prelim my mind refuses to remember with great clarity, and taking us through the mindset of a young coach that knows the power of a buoyant fan base over young footy players is the closest anything will come to defining where the club is at right now.

Well done to the club for putting that together and kudos to Goodwin who shed his buttoned down persona mid way through last year and revealed more of himself and what drives him.


It’s unfinished Business. That is the way all levels of the club must view last year. We all got on board and it was great. 

But we fell short by a long way actually. 

Players cannot be mentally exhausted with 2 games to go. 

In years gone by, when we got close The Club retreated after getting a sniff. 

2019 must be diferent. 88 Quarters must be fought out at 100%

Then September begins all over again

I am sorry for your loss mate.. i unfortunately lost my little nephew last week who would have been a little demon supporter. The fact he never will grow up to play footy and support the mighty dees is just heartbreaking.

The video brought the lump in my throat.

I had tears  and have been gut wrenched from that loss to the WCE last year  and feel for Goody and our lads.

I am  wishing for tears of happiness for 2019 and hoping it is our time.  

 

It’s not easy to break through all the football cliches with a message that resonates, but they achieved it and then some with that video.

It’s also great to see Goody drop the stoicism. Even for just a moment.

Just awe inspiring!

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • 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.
