I was hoping Tomorrow nights show was all about Season 2021 and The GF. 

I don’t want to go back to 2013, it’s already been thrashed out

Careers were killed, lives were lost

We were being run like a circus 

Disappointed all that sh.it is going to be raised again

Agreed, I hope more is made of the fact that we completely dominated the season and finals series.

Spot on. And I also find it disappointing that people are still sticking the knives into Neeld. Sure, he wasn't a good coach, and was duly sacked, but the club was embroiled in a 6 month "tanking investigation/witch hunt" during his tenure. Wouldn't have been easy for a first time coach.

I won't be watching.

I mean, it hasn't even aired yet...

Sorry, I meant "thread" not "post". I actually agree with SWYL. 

There is a post referring to Neeld's next step being Centrelink. I find this in poor taste regardless of what you think of his coaching ability. Our problems started before Neeld arrived, and didn't end till Goody started. I'm not interested in revisiting anything that happened in between.

To tell the story properly you need to give the context to it.

I love the 'redemption' tale and the whole Norm Smith Curse stuff, it makes for a fascinating back story to our incredible premiership. Much more so than just 'the Dees won heaps of games and then won the flag'...

He’s your classic Dees supporter that would prefer to ingratiate himself with supporters of other teams by talking down MFC players, chances, and supporters.

There’s a few of those sorry people about, unfortunately.

Tom's the classic " notice me please, I would like to say something here , but you people just won't ( stammer) let me".

[censored] that, it’s all been done. 
i want to know how the lead up to the GF was handled in Perth

2 weeks between Preliminary and GF, never happened before 

57 years between glory. 
i certainly don’t need reminding how bad the place was 10 years ago

Wilson wrote all that in the aged…

I'm sure you'll get a bit of everything mate.

How about you wait for the complaining until you've actually watched it?

Just an idea.

It’s on Fox, so i will have to find a torrent somewhere 

Why do you want to see regurgitated interviews from 2013?

I want a GF documentary

It’ll be on Kayo too. 
Every GF documentary goes into the history of the club. We just have a lot more history than most. 
I don’t see a problem with talking about the complete history behind the flag.

Tom Morris who on the Fox Footy podcast after the grand final thought that Salem would never be more than a soft outside flanker (or words to that effect).

Salem was never that and I can’t stand Morris.

Strange comment!! Salem might play that outside HBF roll but he is one my favourite players because his toughness! How many times has he been targeted and just gets back up as though nothing happened.

But that history has been done to death, over an over. I don’t want to be reminded of Schwab
Would be much preferred to concentrate on The year of Covid and how we were able to beat the system

@Hannibal Inc. you have a problem with the above? 

It's about context.

Crying in certain scenarios is fine, but I'm not wanting to run out next to a guy who cries in the rooms after a loss.  I know all the arguments that support such emotions, such as how much losing obviously means to that person, etc., but it's not what I want to see in a teammate of mine after a loss, especially in round 2.  It's pathetic.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
