Here is a classic Melbourne Demons patch from the 1980s.

I actually have this! It's somewhere in my bedroom. Just need to find it! 🤔

    Great score, great scoreboard.

    Notice how many shots at goal require only 6 or so steps for the run in and no 30 second time delays. No mouthguards in groins, no flipping of the ball, no high fives and fist pumps for a goal. Who says today's footy is better?

    Sadly there is no going back.

    I had this badge sewn onto my scarf in 1978 ( wish I still had it). Cheer Squad on the Southern Stand Wing (best seat in the house)(thanks to grandoldflag.com.au for the image)

    Does anyone remember the days when every VFL and VFA ground was near a train station?

    After last night’s big game in Adelaide there could be no better vision from the vault than Andrew Leoncelli’s match winner against the Crows ~

    Remember this as a kid, what a game! The irony was that Goodwin kicked the goal before Leoncelli's to put Crows in front, but the Dees had other ideas.

    As I recall, Neale had instructed the rucks to Not punch the ball clear. Schwartz ignored Neale's instruction and won us the game.

    My Andrew Leoncelli story ...

    I was at a lunch with some female colleagues. Andrew was at another table. I introduced myself to Andrew and said I was a Demons supporter. He put his arm around me and said "you poor man".

    I then told him that I had told my colleagues that he had kicked the winning goal with 5 seconds to spare some years before. Without further ado, he walked over to my table, pulled out his phone and showed my colleagues a clip of the winning goal. Hilarious!! 

    Top bloke.

    Just watched that and have some observations:

    1.  Our forward line was dysfunctional with the ball just being bombed in.

    2.  Robert Flower wasn't playing or was off injured.

    3.  The commentators actually called the game without all the BS.

    4.  The MCG had a few patches with no grass, particularly the centre square.

    5.  Sean Wight was a champion.

    6.  I was expecting a last-minute win to the Demons.  I'm retrospectively shattered.

    • 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.
