What a journey this has been. Some things are just so far above footy. Having said that, I am so proud that the whole football community gets behind such causes as this. 
Love to be around the day when they say ‘fight MND’ will no longer be a King’s birthday ‘event’…. because a cure has been found.

    Will we still be able to dump Eddie McGuire into a a pond full of ice water?

    Can we start a crowd funding page to buy @AzzKikA a pair of scissors?  :D

    Only if the crowd funding page specifies them as 24 carat gold!

    I do cut it off but it always ends up unraveling.

    And no, I don't need a crowd funding page for a needle and thread for Mrs KikA to mend it.

    What, you’ve got no functioning hands? Mend it yourself! It’s 2023 not 1953. 😁

    At what age were your sons when you taught them to sew WCW?

    We’ve never lived on a farm, NC. 😜

    As for sewing, I don’t think anyone in their generation ever mends clothing, they just buy new stuff.

    Are they still doing a walk to the G? Will definitely take part if they are.

    They certainly are. Also, the obligatory Demon Army BBQ will be set up in Fed. Square a couple of hours before the walk starts.

    At so if your son did want something mended you'd tell him to buy a new one or sew it himself then huh?

    Hot tip. Don't cut it off, untie it.

    The pom pom would be actually looped on as both the pom pom and beanie are a fully fashion knit, hence no stitching is used. If you cut it, you will inevitably cut the knit itself which will unravel the whole thing.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    They wouldn’t even bother asking me to mend anything. They know what the answer would be. I watched my mum darn my dad’s socks as a kid… mending ain’t happening at mine. No-sir-ee 🙃

    It is amazing how long Neil has lasted with this horrible disease. He must be one of the longest I have heard of. I know of another sufferer who lasted just 21 months.

    This game is going to be massive!

    & it's really got everything - From Neale & all things MND, Grundy v Pies. Every chance of a 1 v 2 & a Dees home game too.

    Besides 1958, when was the last time we cracked 90k for a H&A game? We'll get passed that this year, surely?

    I was so looking forward to attending this game, however I have an emergency travel overseas to see my family in June. Oh well will try to somehow watch it live (does anyone know about a trusty VPN).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
