Wowee. Come on Logan. Just need you to goal for my multibet. Got the other 4 legs already.

Unlucky. Clunks a good mark on wing. Drops sitter in front of goal.

    Cheer squads these days are too soft. In the 1960’s we’d sleep overnight at every H&A game* in order to secure seats behind the goals.

    *not Vic Park or Windy Hill - too dangerous.

    Cheer squads these days aren’t autonomous. They’re governed and the rules are many and varied, especially those applied by the AFL. In some ways that’s not good. But in terms of securing seats behind the goals, it makes sense.

    The Melbourne cheer squad used to sit on the wing in the southern stand in the old days....

    By choice? Or was it because seats behind the goals were most popular therefore harder to get?

    Nowadays everything is regulated including reserving the bays behind the goals for cheer squads only.

    Cheer squads were very fit also. It was hard work waving those massive floggers.

    I believe it was by choice because we were higher up the front row was where all the people with floggers sat.

    Another reason for sitting in the southern stand was that you could look across the ground, up the race to see when the boys ran out. Those were the days…..

    Everything has changed. Back then you guys hung the floggers over the fence when not in use. We’re not allowed to do that because we’d be obscuring advertising. That’s just one example.

    It’s an interesting point Richo keeps making about the Swans. They’ve had 17 players play every game.

    At the top injuries are the deciding factor come crunch time.

    That's fine but they have Mills and Parker to get back into that team. Both would be certain starters for us. They are seriously scary at the moment.

    Yeah it would be tremendous…..

    Speaking of Jordon, has there been a player in recent years to leave the Dees and play about 300% better at his next club the following year?

    We ought to be all disappointed that Jordon isn’t with us anymore as he’d have a role on the oppo’s best mid. Disappointed for us, not for him,

    Sydney should be everyone’s second favourite side for the remainder of the H&A season.

    They’re on track to win 19-20 games and are clearly going to finish top. However second spot is up for grabs, so whenever they play another team vying for top 2 it would obviously be more beneficial for Sydney to win. And that started tonight with their win over Carlton who will be out of the 8 and at least 1 game and percentage behind us.

    And don't forget the streamers we used to throw...

    Yes plus a spillover secondary cheer squad who sat roughly between the pocket and flank at the Punt Rd end (northern stand side) with floggers if i recall correctly.

    We still had a pretty big squad back then as it wasn't that long since the glory years of the late 50s and '64'.

    There were regular banners slung over the fence inc..."Home of the Mighty Demons ...Masters of the MCG" or something to that effect.

    Streamers a plenty being thrown. 

    Throwing them from the southern stand over the balcony after a goal was the best.

    Confetti was also thrown in the form of bags of cut up newspapers.

    The poor cleaners and grounds staff in those days.  Imagine trying to clean all that crappola up.  Especially if it rained!

    How can The AFL allow incorrect disposal to go on, just because the player has made any sort of attempt to get rid of the ball😡

    I would love to know who the person is, who signed off on this abomination. 
     

    there are 3 ways to get rid of the ball

    Kick, hand pass with a clenched fist or a Tap on

    That is it, anything else is not Australian Football…

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
