The club is doing amazing things with the next generation of supporters. So good to see. This is how you build the next wave of crazies. Well done!

Great content but you can only do this with a team like this and with players like Gus. 

ie. kids don’t hang around for losers.

This is, Jaded says, how you become a stronger club with a future.

I think Dolly is already a crazy for us, which is a great sign!

Agreed, it's similar the other week where Gawny stayed back 90 minutes or longer after a clinic to ensure that every single kid that wanted a signature was able to get one, the impression that leaves on the kids, but the rest of the family is immeasurable.

Sorry to hear about your eye. Depth perception is overrated

Dolly looks in complete awe.  Kids facial expressions are so genuine. 10 years ago my eldest also gave a very genuine facial expression.  Do I get anything for this?  Mother of the year award maybe?

Did the Bub grow up supporting the Dees after that trauma?

All my kids were free to choose whichever team they wanted.  They also wanted a roof over her heads so all settled on the Dees.

Hello Dolly, you’ re looking swell Dolly. Keep on crow’in, keep on glowing, keep on going strong.

Fantastic gesture. 

That kid has been given a lifelong happy memory.

Was going to say something similar. No doubt Dolly will never forget that. 

My lifelong memory is from when I turned 6. My Dad wrapped up one of my yellow toy tip-trucks in a brown paper lunch bag. The truck had a TV aerial cable sticky taped to it, and tied with a knot on the end of that, was a joystick controller from an Atari 2600. I’d been asking for a remote control car for my birthday and this was it. No need to be jealous.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
