Didn't think this past week could have got any better

Featured Replies

Winning the premiership last Saturday was a magnificent feeling - which will last me a lifetime.. 

However, just when I thought things couldn't get any better, our daughter today has had a baby boy, giving us our first grandchild.

The only downside is that due to Covid restrictions, we cannot yet meet this future Demon mid. (but may be able to come Monday, as some of our restrictions are about to be lifted).

Life really is good 

 

 

Did they call him Oliver,  Christian, or Bayley?

Congratulations NC, I hope your daughter and the little man are doing well. Has he got a membership yet for next season??

They'd be choosing a retro name from the '64 team, in their grandad's honour wouldn't they @Neil Crompton?

Welcome to grandparentness, Neil.

Thanks ET. Both are doing good.

Membership will be a Christmas present, definitely.

Congrat's to the family. First one is always special.

 

Congratulations Grandad NC!

What a week you’ve had. Two wonderful events. I hope mum and bub are doing well. 💕


Congrats ‘Frog’.  If the young fella can play as well as your namesake, he’ll go okay!

Unfortunately, I had some of the gloss was taken off my week by a team of lowlifes. Got scammed to the tune of $9.5k, but at least I’ve been able to take my mind off the crap side of life, by watching replays on repeat.  Thanks for providing the joy Dees!

What happened DoF. Lot of bad scammers out there since Lockdown began. 
I don’t answer my Landline anymore, only use it to Ring out

I received a rehash of an old scam yesterday SWYL ! 

Some clown on my mobile giving me instructions to open my computer so that he could trace the person who had used my computer for illegal purposes!

FMD!

Yep they are getting very creative now.

NC you are about to experience the joys of being a grand father. Over the last 2 years our GD's have keep us sane and I hope the same applies to them. Good fortune sometimes comes in small starting packages.

I love the ones that tell you your Telstra account is about to be closed. Handy as I don't have one.

Is his name down on the MCC waiting list yet?

Good point.  Is it still a 25 year wait?

These bloody scammers are everywhere. I received a call a few weeks ago from a mobile number I didn’t recognise at first, then realised it was my own number calling me. To say I was a little freaked out would be an understatement. So if you ring yourself don’t answer.

Okay.  I wasn't keen to derail this thread, but if it helps a fellow Demonlander to avoid this crap, then I'll regard it as a 'public service'.

Received a call on landline from a scumbag claiming to be part of an internal fraud team with my bank.  Said they were trying to catch an internal bank employee who was misappropriating funds. Convinced me to transfer funds to another account, so that they could apprehend the (bogus) employee 'red handed', and you can guess the rest ........ 

They had hacked my account and had all the details (including most recent transactions).  Extremely well scripted with relevant bank music and spiel when the 'phone was on hold, gave me their employee ID numbers, etc. etc.  BUT I shouldn't have been so gullible.

Beware fellow Demonlanders.

Please, please don’t say this. This is by no means due to anything you did. You were taken advantage of by a seemingly very well-organised, well-executed scam. This is 100% on them. 0% on you. 💕

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
