    I reckon they're getting their money's worth out of the club website 'All of the Melbourne Goals' segment this year!!!

    (They're also getting their money's worth out of my current renovations, too!)

    The paint on the laundry ceiling of my apartment is already peeling off in large flakes despite allegedly having been redone before we moved in. Clearly an inferior brand of non-Melbourne-sponsoring paint. You'd never get such failure from our esteemed friends at Haymes Paint!

    Only one small outlet in my part of the world (Canberra), but I make the effort to buy Haymes whenever I need paint.  Excellent product and worth the effort ....... and thanks Haymes for being long-term sponsors of our Club!

    I'd buy Haymes but in NNSW it's hard to get and certainly impossible with the member discounts.

    The painter we use at work says  "is very good quality" and Pete's the best painter in town. (I kid you not)

    Never heard of them and never noticed their logo at any of our games. Their marketing team needs to lift.

    I’ve painted a few murals with Haymes paint, and it really is a very good quality product. The Port Melbourne guys are really nice and very knowledgeable.

    Pretty sure they sponsor all the quarter time/half time activities the Robbo hosts like kicking the footy into the giant paint tin or whatever else they do. They used to do the speckies until some guy almost necked himself

    Bump, this is what I wrote in another thread and no I don't have any other connection with the company.

    Great Sponsor, great product. Get behind a Victorian company.

    I've been sprucing up the property recently and the double discount has been saving me a lot of dollars. Sign up for a Haymes discount card and then show your MFC members card.

    Yes I live in Ballarat but seriously the product they produce is awesome and at a seriously competitive price.

    The number of memes I currently have in my head involving Haymes white paint, which would in-turn result me in being banned (if created and posted) is frightening.

    For full effect, they should rebrand as Harmes Paint 

    Or he could change his listed name for a week to James Haymes! ?

    Being in the business of specifying paint brands/colours, Haymes stands out for coverage and colour saturation. Great product and loyal sponsor. 

    Might have to make use of that coverage and saturation to paint my boys bedroom in navy blue with red V's.  My laundry needs a paint too, so might give that the same treatment.

    Heck, if we win a premiership, I'll paint the whole of [censored] Brisbane red and blue in quality Haymes paint.  Making me think that Haymes should officially mix up and brand a MFC paint range of red and blue paints (they can forget about the white used in those pox clash strips consigned to the garbage).

    I thought they already did.  Maybe it was a pigment of my imagination.

    Workman doing renovation at my house use Haymes Paint. They said it's the best quality.

    I personally have used their Woodcare "Dexpress" Merbau on the outside deck. Comes up a treat and lasts much longer with more "lustre"than Cabots or British paints that I have used before.

    What a coincidence.

    I directed my on call work crew to strip the Cabots they just put on my deck at my chalet at Thredbo and replace with the Woodcare "Dexpress" Merbau.

    Then asked them to do the same for my little shack at Wye River.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
