You mean you don’t like the videos of players trying to roll a coin into a fork or stick a clothes peg on a singlet without getting caught? 🙄

Not even a mind as brilliant as yours would have been able to conjure up those two gems Rab!

Yes I meant off, not up.

I must have been thinking of the man shake.

Or maybe you just have better taste and were recalling a much better era of music Red.

We must excuse all swifties, for they know not what they're doing!

At least it wasn't Bailey Fridge - son of Ted Fridge and nephew of John Fridge.

On both Saturday and Sunday I found myself on a train packed with Swifties. Sunday in particular was intense. I was given a schooling on all things Tay and ended up with three *friendship bracelets. Not a Tay fan, but couldn’t expect to meet so many delightful girls in one (confined) space ever again. 

For the uninitiated, the idea is to make friendship bracelets that are Tay-related using coloured beads and beads with letters for song titles etc. The bracelets are then swapped for other bracelets. Of course I didn’t have any bracelets so I swapped a Clarrie key ring (Tay’s fave number is 13), two ribbons (one red and one blue) and a chupa chup. 😁

Beside the point I know, but Fritta couldn’t care less about his name being misspelled. His mum, on the other hand… it’s her pet hate. Beware the wrath of Mrs Fritta, comms dept!  😅

Apparently she started the friendship bracelet thingy many moons ago when only 900 or so ppl attended her concert/s here.  Had a tiny bit of success since it seems!

I propose changing you're nic to WCS (S = Swifty)... or just Swifty!

Granted this is terrible, as is the misspelling of Bayley and the many other errors, but I don’t believe it warrants the level of scathing criticism it’s copping on here… and I’m a professional proofreader. I’ve been proofreading for over 20 years and believe me, my standard is very high. But you pick your battles.

While I agree our communications game needs lifting, I’d sooner all efforts are directed at winning a premiership, even at the expense of other aspects of the Club.

Someone on here compared us to West Coast in terms of comms. West Coast… the hot mess languishing at the bottom of the ladder apparently have a shmick livestream of open training sessions. Impressive, right?

Hashtag Priorities

I thought that Andrew Dillon endorsed our senior management and Leadership group quite strongly this afternoon. We have been let down but I would suggest it’s not by any of the club’s leaders.

i said a few years on here the customer service level was sub par (marketing etc) and was lashed

Dealt with Collingwood post GF23 for merch for wife and son #2 and the difference was shocking 

I, my family and a lot of friends went absolutely bananas after our big win in ‘21 and I couldn’t speak more highly of the way we were able to order and receive our merchandise from MFC, our mob really stepped up and that was despite Covid, so I guess all clubs step up when the big bucks are concerned.😁

I too had no issues with dealing with the club when it came to the bounty of merchandise that I ordered. There was some items that were on back order or not available and they were very accommodating and helpful in a period that would have been very busy as a result of the flag and difficult as a result of COVID related issues.

That was likely due to COVID related supply chain issues.

Good interview with Max at Captains day at Marvel and a nice Gallery of all the new players with their families at the formal jumper presentations at Coterie function on the MFC website today. Max is looking very business like.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
