This is so typical, bungling organisation, some [censored] who was in charge of the playing kit got it wrong and brought the away shorts.

We have turned into a laughing stock, so unprofessional!!

I can't watch any more of this rubbish!

But also I'm glad they are putting miles into the youngsters so they can gain experience. But please is there any danger of getting some decent help next year from people who are employed to supply it?

    Can anyone imagine Collingwood bringing the wrong shorts? The answer is NO.

    This club has simply got to tighten up on everything it does from top to bottom. I know it has very little money, but it has got to act like a big club.

    Who was the person who had to go and tell the Lions that Melbourne had brought the wrong shorts, what a rotten task that would have been! I only hope it was the idiot who was responsible

    So much for preparation for the game< MORONS!!

    Does the club's annual review also include the position of property steward?

    FFS we're supposed to be a $20 million organisation. Can't they get the colour of the shorts right?

    What an absolute joke!

    The original Property Steward may have been promoted one rank with the departure of Danners. The old Gum Boy and Drink Bottle Filler would thus be in charge of the daks.

    It is unfortunately quite staggeringly unprofessional.

    I know that it was just a simple human mistake, but you would think that the kits would be at least double checked before they leave :huh: ?

    Anyway apropos.......

    Brown on fire in Lions rout

    "..........It was technically a home game for the Demons, marking the seventh straight year Melbourne has hosted Brisbane at the Gabba.

    However, Brisbane avoided wearing their much maligned white away strip thanks to a simple gaffe by the Demons.

    Melbourne inexplicably brought their white away shorts, ensuring a colour clash that officials deemed could only be avoided if the Lions wore their home guernsey – much to the relief of the Brisbane faithful.

    Early on, it seemed Melbourne also brought a white flag as Brown goaled almost at will in the opening stanza......."

    You can’t be a first class organisation when you do things in a second class way. Meticulous preparation

    How this club thinks it can earn the respect from opposition clubs has got me beat . Stand up & take note they will, but for all the wrong reasons.

    Inspiring stuff for we members and sponsors alike

    Someone should change the title of this thread to Wallace & Grommits "The Wrong Trousers".

    Luckily for Wallace, he has a dog to mind over his numbing stupidity. This club doesn't have anything that comes close.

    Inexplicable? Could be something about having to get on an aeroplane and fly a few hours to our 'home ground'.

    Honestly, it's fine to rant about the MFC but this is reading too much into what's a reasonably simple mistake.

    Its all about preparation and by its nature is symbolic.

    Coaches/players != property stewards.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      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?
