Watching an interview with Harmes he talks about his passion for the dees as a supporter growing up.  Imagine that.  Imagine being a fan, just like us, been through all the [censored], played through all the [censored], and now he has a real chance at contributing to a painfully long wait for a flag.  Ef me, but come game time, in the rooms before a game, he surely must be one pumped up young footballer over the next few weeks.  Tipping him to go nuts.  I'd be a frothing animal if it were me.  

Do we know if any other player grew up supporting us?

 

Wasn't a Melbourne player but Chris Judd was a Melbourne supporter as a kid and I think Scott Pendlebury might have been one too

And Buddy Franklin too.  Garry Lyon was his hero.


Buddy

Judd

Pendles

Grimes

Viney

Harmes

Gaff followed us as well.

Buddy Franklin! Is this true? If so, sorta makes me look at him in a different light. I mean, I wouldn’t love him or anything demented like that. But I probably won’t hate him as much.

Ollie Wines?

Don’t think so, he was an Adelaide born boy. His Melbourne connection was that he and Viney were best buds so he was really close to the whole Viney family. 

Chris Heffernan...

Tim Taranto from GWS was a very passionate Melbourne supporter. To the point he use to sit with the cheer squad a fair bit.

Ollie was from Echuca and that's where he and Jack Viney were childhood mates.

With a name like Wines, Port does seem the obvious choice however.

Wines was and always been a Echuca born up in regional Victoria. 

The connection was when the Vineys moved to Moama. Todd became coach of Moama and Jack and Ollie went to same schools.

Ah my bad, you’re spot on. 

David McKay of Adelaide comes  from   a keen Dees family.

His  grandparents  used to sit  behind us at the  MCG, sometimes bringing  him as a little boy.

 I  wonder  if Joel  Smith barracked for us ,or North.

CP went for Collingwood, but I  think he  goes for  us now.

Jack was a Melbourne supporter, but then switched over to barrack for Mark Philippoussis.

I don’t get this but I’m laughing nonetheless. 😆

I used to go to games with Dave. Old school mate. Always hoped we'd have a look at getting him come back home. He's been such a consistent player for the Crows.

Todd (Jacks dad) took (in my opinion an ill timed) year out of football to go and be a coach for (up and coming, but ultimately disappointing Australian tennis player) Mark Philippousis.

It was 25 years ago and I’m still salty at him about it.

Ok, that was the connection.

Tim Taranto had to be talked out of getting a MFC tattoo in the year of his draft. He is a gun coming into his prime. He is one I believe will come home to support his childhood dream.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
