Sight screens for the cricket.

These are used when the crowd is low (Shield Cricket) as it avoids the need for a sight screen attendant. Plus covers up anything that might be reflecting from the inner parts of the Stand such as catering signs.

The two small screens can be wheeled into place if necessary.

At many English grounds this area is permanently painted white and you can sit behind these little fences so only your head shows up to the batsman.

It was a sponsor activation, for Zurich from memory.

They didn’t really have any signs it was a replica. I just managed to notice by a thing they had on their desk. I hope nobody was fooled like us

talking of missing soldiers, i didn't see paul roos or peter jackson on sunday, nor any acknowledgement of their part in the club's rebuild to a flag.......unless i missed it

I remember days after we won Paul Roos came out and made a comment about our win. Pretty sure he is in Hawaii still anyway. 

I think this board and CEO are focusing on the future ad not the past. Kate made a comment on Sunday that she used to hear Melbourne supporters called long suffering Melbourne supporters, she said now we are just Melbourne supporters. This is a new era and may it continue. 

On another note was Choco there on sunday?

I guess a conspicuous absentee from the past players was the guy who played 42 games between 1989 and 1992, first in #48 and later in #24. 🤭

Likewise, another conspicuous absentee was the guy who played 41 games between 1996 & 1997 wearing No. 23...:D


Looks like the club staff stuck around for the best office Xmas party ever. Daisy was there, Shannon Byrnes.

And is that Darren Burgess on the left? 

Finally got my tickets booked in to see the Melbourne Demon's 2021 AFL Premiership Cup with my 72 year old Dad on the weekend of the 18th and 19th December and take some photos. 

Gonna cry a little...but only tears of joy! It will definitely be an emotional experience for me and my Dad. 😭

The fact that we have survived 57 years in the wilderness before finally breaking our Premiership drought is absolutely incredible. Just being able to survive as an AFL Club in 2012 and 2013 was an achievement. I am glad that we finally have those dark days behind us and we can hopefully look forward to more sustained success and further Premiership glory!

Could be...a smattering of board members, coaches, players as well as staff.

A happy club.

Just wondering if anyone else bought raffle tickets for prizes on offer at the event. I bought seven at $10 a pop but haven’t heard anything re results. Two of the prizes were ‘money can’t buy’ experiences that were only applicable on the day, but I don’t remember hearing any public announcements while at the event as to the drawing of winning tickets etc.

i did buy too , winners emailed friday  before last sunday , 3rd prize was 5 x200 merchandise packs

The cheering for the ex-players became noticeably ;louder when the Cup was handed to the Ox and the Wiz.

I know he could not be there (surely) due to quarantine rules but the applause would have been even louder still for Jako.

That said, his interview after the game is legendary.

 

Can't believe it was a week ago. 

I laughed when the bont put them 19 points up and a guy that was near us said that's it this game is done, I'm going home. Everyone laughed. You knew that was the moment people were waiting for because it was just so awesome after that. 

Where I was sitting, after Clarrie kicked that goal a lot of folks stood up and pointed a finger to the sky and it kinda went eerily quiet. What an experience!

Out of reverence for a biblical-level devastation, before their very eyes. These things only happen in books!

  • 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.

    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.
