Get to the ‘G!


3183 Dee

Recommended Posts

It’s preaching to the choir, but we have a chance on Friday to give a proper send off to Ben Brown and Alex Neal-Bulleen, as well as sticking one up the Pies.

Let’s get as many of us there as possible - I have 3 General Admission tickets which I will pass on at no cost for anyone who doesn’t have a membership and is thinking about going or maybe wants to take some friends.

Send me a pm - first in, best dressed.

Also honouring Hassa Mann if I remember correctly.

Can't get there, the commute from Seattle is a bear.  24 hours of travel, 16 in a tin can rattling over the Pacific plus connections.

Nice offer 3183 Dee.

I so hope everyone who can go ..goes. As I’m oft criticised for being an “optimistic supporter “ and would go anyway …let me say that the feeling you get when you get a win that we’re  not expected to get or been under the pump media wise (which seems to be most of this year) is just incredible. But win or lose ANB & BBB deserve a  good send off so.. Go Dees

We’ll give the boys a shout for you.

Love ANB but he is walking out on us. He has always put in 100% and i don’t begrudge him leaving but no emotional send off from me when he could delay his decision if he wished. I know it’s family reasons and that is admirable but still, many players and families make sacrifices.

Happy to cheer on those staying and fighting when the going is tough though like our Captain and VC

ANB is not walking out on us, he is looking after his family who need him more than Melbourne. He is doing the right thing by his family and the club and is an absolute champion.

A chance to see another Mfc player have his career altered by a cwood player.

But that aside worth giving Anb and Bbb a good send off .

Maybe bbb could give Maynard a goodbye tap.

Most people look after their family. Being a Rich young man makes it easier. Like I said, I don’t hold any ill will against him but he could stay if he wanted

The club helped make him the man he is today and now he is in the form of his career. I would have liked him to continue to repay the club

I go to virtually every Demons match at the G. But going to filth matches absolutely does my head in ... the filth team, coach and supporters make me (figuratively speaking) sick. So I won't go to any of their matches ... grand finals included. (I've been to every MCC GF since 2004 but didn't go last year ... thankfully.)

So, sorry to all, I won't be there. Please cheer a bit louder to cover my absence.

Mate you don't know anything about the circumstances, a lot of things could be the reason. There are quite a few reasons why someone might need to be around family when a new or young family. 

Sure it's not great for MFC and Nibbler prob wishes he could a one club player but tbh if it's the health and wellbeing of my family or a job... It's not even a 2 second decision.

Get ANB to sign the contract this week, he lays out the Dog with a carefully timed bump and serves out the suspension in SA win/win...

Just looked at flights. The cheapest I could find on a single return ticket was for a 60-hour round-trip leaving tomorrow for just $3693.79, if anyone has spare coin. I'll buy the luker-warm Kentfield hot-dogs.

Absolutely if there are serious health/family issues we don't know about that changes things, I was just talking on face value based on what we do know

Appreciate your point of view Dub. While mine may be different it's not easy going against the grain here at the moment.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
