This should be fun,

Obviously everything is going wrong right now so naturally people are trying to work out why. Recently the infamous camp was brought up again as a possible turning point. Now I thought that was as far back as anyone could go. But of course before that the was the trade for our 2nd best defender, Lever. Getting a young star and future leader into the club, surely that's where we stuffed up! But this morning I'm reading about Jones' "haunting past" with a link to an article that's now 5 years old! I think it's time to set the challenge to demonlanders:

What's the oldest and/or most irrelevant article you can find that explains our current situation. Get creative, I will accept anything from footy to climate change to astrology. All you need to do is explain why it [censored] us up so badly. If we're going to complain, might as well make a game of it.

 

 

For mine it was our home base training ground needing new drainage, oh, no wrong, i forgot,  we never had one, 

 

Norm Smith curse, Brent Croswell, the buckanara goal, is c k watts and omac. In that order.

Surely the Norm Smith Curse is still relevant?

You're not even trying!

I reckon there's something in the Magna Carta about it.


We need to find out why the Cleveland Browns in the NFL have the same luck as us and do the opposite.

Not a bad record by Jethro Tull, before Ian Anderson lost his voice and then Sacked guitar Maestro Martin Barre!

Can't believe there have been six posts in this thread and none of them have mentioned 186.

@Sir Why You Little would be disappointed.

Nah, have to be a comment re: Membership - so I guess we go also back to the 60's when the members transferred to Hawthorn...


I’d go as far back as building our home ground on an aboriginal corroboree site.

Rebuilding since 1964?

Allowing co-tenants at the MCG has cost us home ground advantage.

Let all the other victorian teams play at their suburban [censored] holes.

In 1884 the MCG grandstand that housed our goalposts burnt down. I believe the trauma is still being felt.

???

Someone probably needed to heal that ooze. By not doing so, it all drained away.

  • 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

  • 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.
