Yep. We played VFL Standard in 2019

and some people still don’t see it

They looked great didn't they?

A great mix of excellent senior players mixed with youth and speed. Hope they win it now that Brisbane are out of it.

Things change quickly in football. It was only a few years ago that they cleaned out all assistant coaches and gave Hardwick one more chance.


To be honest, this season really got to me. I usually watch the Demon game 3 times throughout the week and at least 3 other games of footy per week. 

My love of the game has finally waivered this year and if we have another terrible year next year I will likely give up following the game.

I watched 1 game a week this year. Sometimes it wasn't even our game. The membership isn't going to be automatically renewed for the first time in my adult life.

What’s even worse is my brother never buys a membership & said if tigers win another flag he will back off watching afl! 

Im the idiot 20+ year member!?

The good news you don't have to wait long for a sixth.

And there are idiots on this site that actually believe we have good salary cap & list management.

 If you want an example of outstanding salary cap (TPP) management, take a look at Richmond. We’d be lucky to have 2 A Graders whereas Tigers would have about 10.

Prob more like 6-8 ... the reality is teams win flags not players.. it’s all about the game plan & disciplines.. Brereton has stated many average premiership players.

Same here.

Image result for woo hoo gif

So goodwindees who are these ten Tiger A-graders?

Dusty, Jack R, Rance, Cotchin, Edwards and (Deledio) used to be their recognised big 6.  So 5 more.  Definitely would include Lynch, Houli and Grimes (now AA).   Last 2 are a toss up, maybe Prestia and Vlaustuin.   Tiges also have a strong seconds team.

I guess you are including Max and Clarry for us and then a huge gap to our Bs and Cs etc.  So who are our B-graders getting all the money ???  Lever, May...

Add me as well?

To think we could have been the best team in VFL/AFL history, 50s would have been amazing to watch.

Richmond - fast and tough.  Relied on the draft from 2007 and topped up with Lynch as icing on the cake.

Melbourne - our smalls aren’t lightening nor tough (breaking a tackle or placing robust pressure).  Looking for quick fixes (Lever, May, Elliott etc) at the expense of drafting 10 year players.  We seriously don’t know whether to rebuild or re-plumb.   Goody and the club have been hit between the eyes.  The recruitment of speed and/or tough smalls has been a complete failure.

 

Superimposed on this is the hubris of this club in thinking they can recruit the slowest player in the comp in Lewis, and dispense with our quickest in Frost; because we needed leadership and wanted to reduce turnovers.  Utter idiotic madness.  The only entertainment this club offers is a parody of how to build a football team.  This is the latest version, but probably the best.

Tigers recruited from other clubs Lynch,Prestia etc but further developed them, agree with but unfair on lever, may showed if he’s body is right he can play, question is will he get his fitness right

I was lucky enough that my ability to understand footy crystallised in the mid 60s just after 64. The team from mid 65 through 69 was as bad as anything in the following decades. Finishes were 7th; second last; 7th; 8th; last. Think yourself lucky you missed this embarrassment.

During '67 we were being talked about as a final four side until a late slump. Ditto'71, ditto '76, '84 until Essendon smashed us at VFL PARK. Some minor glory after that but afl is now basically a premier league and Frost to Hawks is a travesty. Take up a hobby, it's never too late.

I watched the merge documentary on Bears and Lions. As bad as it is for the Dees we at least have our own footy club to follow. Watching the Roy’s supporters seeing their club become extinct was pretty sad. Is it better to follow a basket case of a club or no club. I keep reminding myself of that when we lose.

76 stick in the throat we were on a serious role. More heartbreak.

Me too. Pretty sad hey. I went to 2000 GF which was a disappointing day. It would be great the day we actually make a GF being favourite. Unfortunately none of my kids want to follow Melbourne.

  • 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.
