Unfortunately i couldn't make it after the game. But i'd like a report on it. How was it? Did Danners speak. I could imagine him being all happy and excited. Who else spoke? reports please

was this for all members? i didnt know anything about it

It was at melbourne park. Come one someone that uses this board must have gone

 

Yeah it was great. They kept asking the players what was the match making moment and Brocky said "It would have to be Franks goal on his right foot!" :lol:

They also said something along the lines of "Surely you have to be happy with your game Brock?". He replied " I'm just happy to beat Collingwood... I hate Collingwood" :D

Was a great event! :)


Any other reports from the after match?

I am sorry to say this but I will not go again, this club is second class when we do this, NSW beer was served out of cans, no spirits at all and white and red wine at 150ml for $6.50, if they want people to come then they will have to raise the bar.

Exactly why we need our own venue for these after games functions, would you agree?

The prices were no worse than MCG prices. Do you think we get use of the venue gratis or do you think the club should go into hock to put on these events?

Agree however that spirits should have been available.

I was just thankful to have the opportunity to celebrate a win with fellow supporters.

1st point yes,

2nd point don't be silly I don't mind paying within reason but I like a choice within reason and if you want more people to come you have to provide for them, and really how many people do you think where there?

Yeah no spirits really disappointed me...

I am more disappointed that several MFC supporters did not know the event was on. Was publicised on clubs emails overs a few weeks. As was open to all MFC supporters whether financial members or not & costs the MGC to put the event on averyone should know its on.

Also we need to go to such events a there are so few of them each year!.

This function is held each and every year after the Pies game, surely fans are aware it is on? If you're a member, its free to get into, and if not its $5. Me and my mates certainly look forward to it each and every year, I dont care what beer they're serving (yes that Tooheys stuff is putrid) if we win, everything tastes sweet!

Neale Daniher spoke briefly, then he discreetly made his way off the side of the stage as the players made their way up their to the strains of A Grand Old Flag.

Its going a bit blurry for me as a few of the aforementioned ales were consumed, but David Neitz spoke, then MC Nick McCallum hand-picked who he wanted to speak to, in no particular order Robbo, Matty Bate, Brad Green, Brock McLean and Simon Godfrey. Godfreys goal was a topic of much mirth amongst the playing group, and Superboot himself gave a blow-by-blow account of his decision making process that eventually led to his memorable right footed goal on the run. He also mentioned about some of the hard tags that he'd had this year, and the amount of times he'd been whacked behind the play (Goodes, West etc). I yelled out that he was a human punching bag, a quip he heard and repeated himself, which made me feel chuffed.

Afterwards the players stayed and mingled for quite a while. Spoke to James Frawley who said he was very nervous before the game, he seemed a pleasant and confident young bloke, while Petterd who was with him most of the night seemed a quiet and shy type.

We also added another chapter to our Brock McLean stalking history, he knows who me and all my mates are now, as soon as we started the Mini-Ox chant he knew we were coming. Full credit to Brock he always takes it in his stride, laughing at our hijinks ("you guys again!" he smirked).

Also spoke to Chris Fagan who said that Jared Rivers was iffy for the rest of the year with his OP, whereas Brent Moloney encouragingly he said may well be right to present himself this week. Told him Brad Miller had kicked 6 which he didnt know at the time and brought a smile to his face.

It was a great night yet again, we got the whole tram singing the song on the way back into the city as the night (or the official part) wound up. And took great delight in singing it again in Young and Jacksons to stir up the feral pies supporters there as well. Happy Days!

Thanks for that. I annoyed I couldn't make it. Hope you really stirred up those pies ferals at young and jacksons. Could you tell a bit more with what danners said.

But I thought Rivers had a back-related hammy :rolleyes:

I hate the silly games they play sometimes, but good to hear about Beamer.

Thanks for the report!

It was also advertised on the scoreboard at the 'G and probably in the AFL Record too?

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
