I like the Allen Jakovich swagger reference that the author believes Melbourne supporters now exhibit. Don’t think I’ve got a strut going yet but it is certainly nice not to be the runt team of the competition and to be proud about the side you barrack for.

 

Love the ruthless approach but as a supporter/member only I will take 4th place with 2 wins in the finals over any of our myriad of deplorable years.

But we are just onlookers ... we control nothing.  If we could control things those deplorable years would never happen.  The footy side of things that is

Macca, If you're really Ron Barassi in disguise then even you couldn't prevent the deplorable years.

One week at a time please Demons.

There are some quality sides this year who all have improved lists.

The outcome is going to be measured in centimetres possibly even millimetres. 

As in all cases, you need to have everything going for you and on top of that have a lot of luck.

Second half of the season will hold the key in terms of form, injuries and position on the ladder. 

No swagger for me until we win the big dance.

We need to walk the talk.

Good players win games W11 ... now we've got those good players we can win

To win big comes down to the coaches and the best of the best firing on all cylinders

We're in with a chance this year

True Harmes you will not be the only one. In fact any teetotalling supporter that did not have a drink or two would be lousy!  As for the rest of us god help our livers.

Beats the hell out of losing.

Agreed  'hw'.

All the easy beats from which we emerged,  are not so Easy beats as they were...  they are improving at the bottom ladder.

The competition is getting more even each season.   Since the hawks and cats got old.

What we need is to strengthen our weakest links.  and some of our good players aren't as good as the perception of them is.

If our forward line fires and we have a reasonable run with injuries we'll go alright.

Reading this, I can close my eyes and imagine Bob Hawke on telly after we break the drought recapturing his Australia II celebrations “any boss who fires anybody for not turning up to work today is a bum” (but wearing the Cameron Schwab blazer).

But the wit is still there.  An amazing period for Aus, -it’s about the sequel. 

Take it one week at a time. Take every game as it comes. We're not getting carried away. Cross the t's and dot the i's. The boys know they need to stick to the game plan. Sorry, got an overdose of the cliches. Can I add another one? Keep a lid on it!!

Yes, hopefully we will do.

But we are, Young...  and still so much to prove.  Some are up to doing the proving... some are still following.   Instead of taking up the charge.

I reckon a few of us could pop off this mortal coil winning the GF, football matches can be fatal when the excitement proves too much,  Dutch fans were literally dropping dead on the day their national team was knocked out of the 1996 European championship. Deaths among men from heart attacks and strokes soared by 50% (14 extra dead on the day)  when Holland were beaten by France in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out.

Anyone selling life insurance? Get on Allianz i guess.

I hear you Macca.  2018 was far more enjoyable as a supporter than any of the previous 12 to 18 years.  Getting thrashed every week sucked big time.  Winning more often than not and handling out a few thrashings of our own last year was alot of fun.  Playing well in finals and making an impact the way we did also provided a level of satisfaction.

But I was neither elated or shattered by us making the preliminary final and subsequently losing.  The present compeditiveness of the team certainly encourages me, but as a supporter who has seen us make it to and lose numerous preliminary and grand finals, just making a preliminary final doesn't seem a particularly victorious occasion.

Love the simmering ruthlessness that Goodwin has bought and the team are embracing.  The MFC has unfinished business until we bring home that next premiership and it can truely be a Grand Old Flag once more.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
