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

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
