Congratulations WCW .... I became a grandparent just over a year ago. I can certainly recommend it.

My daughter is a Demon (of course). We watched the GF together. And one of my most treasured photos is of the 2 of us with the Premiership Cup. However her husband is Carlton, and he's more 'into' footy than my daughter, so my beautiful granddaughter will be a Bluebagger.

It could be worse ... filth, Essendon, Richmond, Jee-long ... (I'd forgotten how many teams I really hate.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my granddaughter’s first AFL season!  My daughter first broke the “ I’m pregnant” news by showing me the demons onesie size 0.  She now also has the little the demons jumper my mum knitted for her (my daughter), which has been waiting patiently worn by a teddy for 28 years.

    Here’s some positive news: this Sunday there’ll be a sea of these behind the goals…

    We’ll put a splash of red on them and will wear them while banner-raising as well as for the entire match. (31 degrees on Sunday so we’ll likely need paint-scrapers to unstick our hair from our heads 😅)

    Unlike the Carlton cheer squad, (who looked amazing in their Blues Brothers suits), we don’t have to fork out $165 per person to look great. 😁

    Also unlike the Carlton cheer squad, in the event of a loss, we won’t look silly, which is how they would’ve looked had they lost. Because our accessory isn’t for S&Gs, it’s part of the celebration of the career of a much-loved champion, it could never look silly.

    And in case anyone’s wondering… HELL YES we’ll be wearing them again on KB. 

     

    Absolutely brilliant WCW ❤️💙

    I had to get over here, they’re being nasty about TMac and Brown over there!

    I’ll allow you to park yourself here for now coz that’s a great reason to not be over there. Poor Tmac and BBB cop it so much… it does my [censored] head in. BUT…

    You MUST behave yourself! One even slightly negative comment and you’re out! K? K.

    So I think this is the sort of good news story this thread is about:

    What champion bloke.

    Said it in the other thread, that alot has been stated about our culture, but the media should have a good look at this bloke and see what character and culture is all about.

    Watched him in our practice match against Richmond and thought he's clearly too good for VFL.

    Best of luck to Marty on Sunday and hopefully there is a great second career in the making here at the Demons.

    Worthy wearer of the No.27 too - love that he's got that number which has belonged to some great MFC defenders in my time as a supporter.

    How good to see the club having players leave on terms where they are happy to be back again.

    I don't know why he left or was not renewed but having a player return is a big tick in my book.

    Apparently reluctantly we made the call as part of the COVID playing list cut backs and Marty was overcoming an ACL.

    Thanks WCW, I like this thread.

    I'm absolutely positive of all of the following:

    - that we win the flag this year

    - that the DA will win the best cheer squad award this year

    - that Maynard is a [censored]

    - that Eddie is a [censored]

    -that BT is a Richard , with a capital D.

    - that Robbo needs to sign off

    - that Gus Brayshaw earned and deserved a better way to end his career, and for that, once again, Maynard is an absolute [censored]

    Blue sky outlook 

    Round one 2024 

     

    1. Petty back in Casey 👍🏻

    2. Marty Hore back at MFC and his first game after 1667 days. Was very good. 

    3. Clarry.  What a star. ⭐️. Burst through the centre and knew he was back. Looked strong.   We love ya Clarry 👏👏👏

    4. Billings.  Jack was back.  Had a perfect game as the link into the forward 50.  He’s not a brute but he’s what we need. A connector.  👏👏👏

    5. Max Gawn.  Bounced back. Best English to reclaim number 1 ruck mantle. 👏👏👏

    6. May. Lost the first contest then bounced back to be captain in defence. Marked or defended everything. 👏👏👏

    7. The voltaren worked for Tmcd and BBB. Both contributed today. Not great but not carried by any means. They can come back next week. 

    8. Winning at the G again. After the finals losses, we needed the win !!! 

    Go Dees. Let’s run the positive but make sure it’s not just corporate spin !!!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
