what were the white sheets draped over the l1 seats and upto l2, between the 2 small screens on the southern stand for?

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

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!

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? 

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.

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.

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!

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
