Stood next a bunch of Hawthorn flogs in the 2018 final, when we got ahead in the last quarter, they turned as started bagging me- saying how pathetic us supporters are and we don’t even know how it feels to win. Besides Richmond one of the worst supporter bases. 

Had an old wino lookin' bloke with hardly a tooth in his head stand behind me during the 1988 GF and hoarsly scream " C'mon the .... Horrible .... HAAWKS!" for the whole forkin' game.

If we put this one away you’ll have a lot more trust... until gameday next week. It’s only you, me and every other scarred mofo on this site that feels that way ?

We are the real deal, though the bath water can look deceptively refreshing. I think the question is, are we one of the top 4 clubs? It won't be answered against the Hawks today. It is a lon

I remember a few years back i was in the Daulton bar in StKilda minding my own business when a group of ppl came up with this loudmouth psychopath wearing a Hawks scarf about 20 years younger than me and about 3 feet taller than anyone else, asked me who i barracked for? I said Melbourne and he then proceeded to laugh as loud as he could and bang on and on about how pathetic we were and we stood for nothing most shtful club in history irrelevant etc etc for a solid 5 mins....i absorbed what i could and said a few things back but he was having none of it and wanted to pick a fight right then and there in the bar......so i exited through the nearest door to find a beer somewhere else.....the unbridled arrogance of this suburban fool was just unbelievable. Even his friends told him to calm down several times....

So its days like this that i look forward to with a wry smile and hope this guy is sitting there watching every minute.

So heres to you little bigman.....KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE RED AND THE BLUE !

I'm off to a mates house, he's Hawks and has refused to go to the footy with me for 5+ years, as I get a little loud... well he's in for it this arvo in front of his wife and kids hahahaha!!!

Let's see us put the second last team away by half time.

I don;t know why people expect this. We have a make-shift forward line.

I'll take the 4 points anyway we get them. I expect to win but i have no expectations about a big win. In fact i prefer tough battles. The doggies have been excellent but beating up on the Suns and North won;t stand them in good stead come September.

While we're still several hours away from the first bounce, I thought I'd share with you all this little story about Hawthorn ruckman Jonathon Ceglar, who has been omitted for today's game.  Not many of you would know that I went to school with him and, while he was good at sport, he was no chop at any other aspect of life.

In fact, I'd say that Jonathon is without a shadow of a doubt the dumbest kid I ever met growing up. He never learned the body mechanics required to climb down ladders/trees/etc because he fell off literally every time, mostly by choice.

He once kept a bottle of apple juice in his schoolbag for five months thinking it would turn into alcohol.  He skolled the lot and instantly threw up everywhere. The next year he tried it again but left it in the bag for even longer, thinking that THAT was the flaw in his plan.

He’d turn up to school with all these cuts and scratches and say it was from playing with the cat that lives in his street. However, once he elaborated it became very apparent that he was describing a koala. When he got called out he threatened to fight everyone. Even after someone went to the library and got an encyclopedia and showed him a picture of a koala and said “Is this what the cat looks like” and he said "Yes" he still insisted that he was right and it was a cat. He wanted to bet us $50 that he was right, but the whole drama repeated when it turned out he didn’t know what $50 looked like.

When we were in Year 8 we didn’t see him for the whole of Term 1. We assumed that he’d moved schools or died falling out of a tree or something, until we found out he’d just kept going to the Year 7 classrooms. And he was getting worse grades than the year before. He straight up didn’t know the difference between left and right (not like confusing them sometimes, just didn’t understand they were two different things) until I think Year 10, when we worked out that he was left handed and because he wrote with that hand he assumed that was his right/write hand.

When we started going to parties, he kept insisting that the beer he was drinking out of a plastic bottle was better quality than glass or cans because “plastic is more technological.” He once gave out invitations to his party but instead of an address there was just a drawing of three houses with an arrow pointing to the one on the right.

One day I saw him in a shoe store holding up the shoe (a left-footed Adidas trainer) that was on display and asking the shop assistant if he could get a discount if he bought the right one as well.

It’s just as well this bloke is okay at footy because he is NO GOOD at anything else.

Haha nice story. You must have been about 25 yo in 7th grade. So who was the dumbest?

Well I'm excited for today. This is a game we should win and we must win for so many reasons. Experts are watching us today to see if we go back to our old ways and lose the winnable games. 

I'd love to see Luke Jackson just clunk marks today and see Trac turn on another blinder. 

Lets get the win and keep our top 2 spot.

Watching the VFL theres about 10 players ready to step into the AFL side if given the chance.  Weid and Brown are certainties vs Richmond.

No pressure Tom.

We now have around 30 players we can mixnmatch which is around the figure you need to go deep into September

Yep agree, I think it would be a mistake to play him deep.

He's much better up the field running his opponent into the ground and clunking marks.

Who on earth thought it would be good for him to bulk up last year?

Gotta say I enjoy beating Kennett as much as beating the Hawks

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
