He's just a man. He has no power to cause the calamities that have befallen Melbourne over the years. Only the Footy Gods have that power.

The footy gods are all powerful.

But not above some mischief making, as Eddie 'my old mate (insert some rich blokes name here)' McGuire recently found out.

    Fabulous. Let loose all red and blue critters from the woodwork!

    Whilst I was excited after beating Geelong and we finished on top, for me as a supporter it’s a flag or bust. I’m sure the players would give up any individual awards if it guaranteed us a flag. Having said I truly believe this is our year and we can have it all.

    How awesome!

    hopefully some of their fans get to the prelim and support us and make some noise! Even if they wear their west Perth gear it’s still red and blue!

    Great read, thanks.

    Sensational synergy with the West Perth Football Club.  Couldn't have scripted it better: 

    West Perth Football Club welcomed the Demons to its facility: “It seems only appropriate we throw our support behind the red and the blue. Same song, same colours, rich history and we are on the band wagon,” the club posted on Facebook.

    And the team is staying at the nearby Joondalup. 

    Well done to local dee fans: "WA-based Melbourne supporters club Western Demons secretary Joan Lawson, of Duncraig, said she would ring Joondalup Resort to ask if they could tie red and blue ribbons around the trees to “let the players know we’re here”.

    While the team won't see us parading our colours to training etc it is good to know they will be surrounded by red and blue.    

    Reckon we will be the sentimental favourites for the rest of our WA journey!  Can't wait for the Prelim.

    I'm not so sure about that. Premierships are so hard to win and we've got a potential opponent who's in just as good a form as us in Port Adelaide. Alternatively,  if the Dogs somehow beat Port, well then we're playing a team in arguably hotter form than Port as they would've won 3 finals in 3 different states.

    Most scribes predicted us to miss the 8 and most of us supporters had us finishing 5th - 8th with a finals win being a rock solid performance. 

    We've exceeded expectations and a confirmed top 4 finish. And a fantastic launching pad for an assault on the next 3 to 5 premierships.

    If we don't win it this year it's not a failure IMO. Our list profile suggests we're going to be in the mix for the immediate coming years.

    I’ve posted this previously on a different thread.
    Ports losses in 2021

    Rd 3 Eagles by 37 WA
    Rd 7 Lions by 49 QLD
    Rd 9 Dogs by 19 AO
    Rd 13 Cats by 21 AO
    Rd 17 Dees by 31 AO

    Ports last 4weeks : 

    Beat crows by 4 points 

    Beat Carlton by 95, Carlton had no Cripps, Williams, McKay
    Curnow 2nd game back after a year.
    Murphy farewell game after playing reserve’s most of season.

    Beat Dogs by 2 after trailing all game. Dogs without Bruce. 

    Had we lost to Geelong in rd 23 Port would of finished on top having not beaten 2nd, 3rd or 4th. 

    Yes they comfortably beat Geelong last week but I wouldn’t personally describe their form as good as ours. This year has shown they have struggled against the top teams. I actually think if Lions will beat the Dogs and give Port a decent run.
     

    As for the flag this year, we’ve been the best side all year, we’ve beaten every other team in the top 8, some of them twice. Think we’re the only team to do that. We have an injury free list, Petty has been settled in the side for the best part of 15-16 weeks. We have season regulars like Hibberd, Jordan and Hunt currently not playing. We have the best defence, we kept the highest scoring side (a team that beats up on weaker opponents) to a score of 60. We are settled in Perth, if we’re lucky enough to win next week our GF opponent will have to travel as well. We will have played back to back at Optus. Barring major injury or total mental breakdown this is our year, along with the next 4-5.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.
