So a few years ago it was Troy Chaplin supporting Richmond, now our own Lilly Mithen has shown a passion for the Geelong Football Club. This is embarrassing and the club should sack her tomorrow

    Who’s that? 

    I know there is a bit of tongue in cheek in this comment, but let’s be clear - this is a paid employee and player for the Melbourne AFLW team. This post is from a month ago. She is actively supporting the opposition. It’s really disappointing

    Sacking her would be very rough. A word in the ear would do.

    Even then, I’m not convinced it’s that big a deal. What if it was the media and marketing person in opposition colours? Or the receptionist? The receptionist probably gets paid more than Lily does. Does being a paid employee of the club automatically entitle the club to prohibit barracking for other teams?

    She’s not barracking against the team she plays for, she’s barracking for the Geelong men. If she was barracking for the Geelong women while the AFLW season was on, I might be a bit more outraged.

    Really. I am shocked. No wonder we have such a soft underbelly and we are a half baked club.

    Would you conversely consider it ‘no big deal’ if Jack Viney was at an AFLW game wearing an Adelaide scarf? And if not why the double standard?

    Because one bloke with zero influence doesn’t share the view of another bloke with zero influence? Righteo ?

    Nah because I would have thought that if you are part of a club, you are fully committed to the support and values of that club. That you are a custodian of building the culture of that club. And when you have people who are half in, you end up with a weak club where no one really cares. That’s what we have. That’s why blokes like Lyndon Dunn say they’d wished they had lined clubs like Collingwood earlier.

    Do you remember when a young first or second yearJesse Hogan had that photo of himself in a Freo scarfe when Freo were in the finals and we were out? I said then that “word in the ear” would be an appropriate response. My view has been consistent.

    You and L_36 think he should have been sacked on the spot, I suppose.

    Im all for if it means her and Jack Viney are booted off that podcast for being so cringeworthy to listen too.

    Ok in all seriousness its not a hanging offence but its probably not a good look either. Lets put things in perspective. Mithen is a paid MFC employee. If this was Jack Viney or say Tom McDonald wearing a collingwood scarf then everyone would wanting blood.

    Honestly if i had personally stumbled across i can definitely vouchi that i would have continued scrolling on through..

    I’m completely lost as to the link between this rambling nonsense and my post containing my opinion.

    I’m not the club. My opinions posted on Demonland bear no correlation to whatever culture the club is trying to build with its employees. My posts aren’t the reason for anything, but I’m glad you think highly enough of me to think I’m at fault for the club’s supposed soft underbelly.

    Is she related to Laurie Mithen? i had always assumed so and I had also assumed that our team had a few female relatives that we had given extra chances to because thats what many of the AFLW teams do.

    EDIT Below

    • She is from Geelong
    • She was drafted
    • Her Grandfathers cousin was Laurie so it is a long bow

    Call me old fashioned, call me a fool. I could not give a continental about the AWFL nor what Lilly M wears to the footy. MFC has much bigger fish to fry- like sorting out why we went from missing out on the GF by 1 game to sitting 3rd from the bottom.

    Well she had the option to go to Geelong when Hickey & Cranston did.

    She chose to re sign with us. That's loyal enough for me.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
