reading some of the sad sacks here you would think melbourne just played richmond today it's just pathetic and repetitiously boring. how many ways can you say the same things?

Absolutely dc. They turn a thread about a GF where we aren't playing into a MFC whingefest

you miss the point....not surprising it's the boring, repetitious, masochistic, humourless, unoriginal drivel i'm sick of either come up with something original or a least with some humour o

Brand is a marketing term, and meaningless, culture is another thing all together and we do not have it  Hardwick is a balanced person, Goody not so much.

Brand also means game style.

And no one is saying our culture is perfect.

Don't put words into our mouths.

I think we need to take as many positives out of todays game as possible. At least GWS have dethroned us to take out the most recent horrendous finals performance.

THANK FUGGIN CHRISTMAS!

But GWS the Frankenstein of the AFL PSEUDO EXPANSION!

Lowest goals for a zillion years!!!

Suck on that AFL...

Enjoy ur night Polo player!

GWS HORRENDOUS and loved every minute of it!

Well done tiges.

Hey Goody were u watching!??

Marlon Pickett reminded me of Michael Long.
Probably the way he held the ball with arms extended.
First gamer did well.
Lock him in for SC rookie next year.

Do not tell me what to do. We do not have an AFL game style anyone respects so less talk about brand the better.

Haha isn’t she also the one who got scalded on here for posting a photo wearing cats scarf during a game?

I believe so.

The same Lily Mithen whose "...grandfather’s cousin is Laurie Mithen – a Melbourne great, who played in five premierships and was named in the club’s team of the century". 

The same Lily Mithen who grew up in Geelong.

The same Lily Mithen who turned down Geelong to play in their AFWL team to stick wtih the Demons.

Obviously puts in the scarf to match her date at the footy!   

See wwsw post below.  Her dad was a Richmond Board member.

Doubt she was going to wear a GWS scarf.

yep...her dad!

 

If most of us went to a non-demon GF we would probably support one of the teams and maybe even wear their colours - especially if a family member is involved with the club.  Didn't Jones where red and white when he watched little bro play his GF.

She has stayed true to the demons when given a chance to leave.  She didn't.  Says it all really.

Good to catch up today, @Return to Glory

With Burgess on board, top 4 next year, mate. You gotta believe!

Enjoy Tokyo. If you can, visit an old haunt of mine, Inokashira Park. A welcome oasis in the concrete jungle.

Top 4 it is Ben E. You told me this season was an aberration and I'm willing, albeit reluctantly, to accept your wisdom on the matter. Burgess, yeah that's his name.  And Inokashira Park it is.

Anyone live near Swan St?

Reading some of the celebrations got out of hand last night, flares, burning of cardboard signs mocking Toby Greene on rooftops, fans headbutting, punching and biting cops.

We wouldn’t make it anywhere to celebrate if we won a flag soon, we’d pass out at the G from all the excitement.

We need to analyse the success of Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn and other big clubs with successful winning cultures.

It took 37 years for Richmond to break it's Premiership drought. We are coming up to 55-56 years for our Premiership drought.

 

We are only going to break the drought with lots of hard work, having good quality football people involved with our club and recruiting the right players.

I am still keen in getting Mark "Choco" Williams involved at the Melbourne Football Club.

Lots of money will help too.

Not denying they're a big club but I reckon Richmond now has as many faux supporters as Hawthorn when they were travelling. And that's saying something.

Hopefully GWS do a thorough review of the GF and change their game plan completely or they’ll end up in the bottom 4 next year

Or they'll follow MFC's Baldrick plan of not reviewing a thrashing in a final at all!! That worked !!!

Yes to Williams, but I dont think Goody would want a powerful figure like that.

I'd have GWS above us for a decent first quarter and keeping the Tigers goalless if it werent for a dodgy free kick to Riewoldt and a very late Rioli goal. Our prelim would've been x10 as horrendous if it was a GF

I don't think we would've got any junktime goals either. WCE would not have left anything in reserve for the following week and would've wanted to kick a half of celebratory goals.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
