My favourite player in the early sixties.

I'm thinking Clint may be a tad effusive.

    I remember walking past him after we beat hawthorn in 2018 in that final. He had a massive smile on his face.

    He was on that Sam Edmund show this is your sporting life on SEN and said it's embarrassing that we are still the reigning premiership players. 

    It would just be fantastic to break this drought. There may be a few old past players hanging on to see this happen.

    None more than RDB. It was fantastic to see the shots of him in the stand this year.
    Alas, none if we do make the big dance this year.

    Kicked the goal from the boundary against the dorks to secure top spot at the end of r.17 in 1964.

    Deserving of praise.

    I was at that game and we should have won by a street, but at that ground and with a strong wind that day, we struggled. 

    We were kicking to the end where all the goals were kicked, so there was a certain inevitability about it, but it was very late in the quarter when he kicked the winning goal. 

    He was also at the helm when we got rid of Woey and copped a lot of flack for that. But he was a very good person.

    I wonder if dees supporters will remember Max's goal on the weekend like this in 50 years time?

    Well I can tell you all definitively that Paul Callery, Barry Bourke and Stan Alves are absolutely pumped for the dees! And like Hassa from that era how could players NOT  be excited🤩

    I too, was at that game as part of the cheer squad, and remember that goal as though it was yesterday.

    I'm nervous for that very reason, but I hope there now becomes a brothers in arms mentality.  There remains a lot of work to be done and I hope the boys are talking about that for the rest of the week, until the first bounce on Saturday.

    In 50 years time they probably will be able to look back and remember it, unfortunately they probably won't be able to remember what they had for breakfast in the morning. The mind does that to you.😀

    For what it’s worth I don’t think any of this noise will go near the players. I’ve never seen a more focused group of Melbourne players. 

    I’ve kept a lid on it all year, just enjoyed the ride.

    Couldn't agree more bingers.  I had the pleasure of working with Hassa for around 6 months in the early 1970's.  A gentleman of the highest order, but with the most fierce handshake I've ever experienced.

    I’ve sold some VFL memorabilia over the years - Records, Herald colour posters etc. 

    But never that - cos it was personal.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
