    Yeah. Our strategy of getting a heap of high draft pick kids and just wait for them to develop was shocking.

    His will be an interesting Open Mike whenever it happens. Being recruited to a club as one of the "saviours", around while we were an absolute basketcase and then snatched up on stupid money to GWS to be one of their foundation players (and the circus surrounding it). Then suffering a pretty horrific injury and the battle coming back from it.

    I've said it earlier, I have very little ill-will towards the guy so hopefully he goes alright in retirement.

    Watts, Scully, Trengove, Morton and Toumpas. Hundreds of threads, thousands of post and millions of words wasted on them. Like the powerful dreadnought battleships built, served and scrapped without never firing a shot in anger.

    1. Open Mike has officially retired (one of my all time favourite shows)

    2. We won't hear from Scully. Extremely private fella who'll drift off and most like not have anything to do with footy at all.

    Oh damn! I'm UK based so I missed these things, that's a real shame because he has had some very compelling interviews over the years (Trenners was sadly very dour).

    You're probably right about Scully as well, he's never been a media personality or anything. Sucks though as I think his journey, while not exactly an illustrious one, is an intriguing one.

    Looking back, I feel slightly grateful that the incompetence of the MFC during that period, and the consequent wounds as a passionate supporter (including as a debt demolition supporter), resulted in not very much - certainly not much to celebrate.

    I’m almost glad we hit rock bottom, rather than consistently finished 7th to 11th during that period.

    Why? Because those among us who stuck fat behind the club will be entitled, and able, to give the middle digit to everyone who patronised us during that period if and when we win the next flag. The roses will smell particularly nice if we do.

    I’m sure it’s easy to support the successful clubs. It however takes far more character to support the likes of the Dees. If there was to be a supporters’ draft, we’d consistently be the number one draft pick.

    Let’s bring this ship in to port. Go Demons.

    Do you really think people who patronised us over six decades will give a damm if you give them a finger?  Most will be pleased an incompetent and dsysfunctunal club found success. However I do not see a premiership side assembled yet and the recruiting of an injured Brown puts us back a step again.

    No I don’t.

    But I’ll enjoy it.

    Nor do I sadly, but yes, we will enjoy it. I told a pack of Hawks supporters at the end of the 77 prelim that we would get revenge. They laughed at my now very hollow words.

    It's weird given our lack of success in living memory but there really are people who hate us, with a capital aitch. I don't know why and I am always amazed when I hear it, but I have heard quite a few times people say with real force that they hate Melbourne's guts. So I am with RB and his rigid middle digit.

    Now I think of it, I might just change my name to rigid middle digit - Done.

    I think it is because prior to our run of success in the fifties and sixties we were an MCC club of elitists. during our period of success we picked up many averagesuburban  kids as supporters in the schoolyards. However the waft of cigar smoke from the members still sticks around.

    Really sorry for the Hawks at all this bad luck they seem to be having and hope they can turn it around .

    Unless they happen to fold first .

    He was the consensus number one, so not just so MFC in this case.

    At the time the Tiges would have loved him...grew up a Richmond supporter.

    How lucky were they to miss???

    Don't be surprised if he comes out of retirement at Tiggerland.

    2. He will probably go off into the sunset and play golf with his mates. Oh wait, that should read he will probably go off into the sunset and play golf.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
