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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
