WOO HOO! Just got an email from the club to say my kids were some of the lucky ones selected to form the guard of honour for Neitzy - don't know who is more excited, them or me!!!!

That's awesome!!!

Did anyone else get a letter about the Hero Messages?

I did my hero message, with a like to this topic. I know they will not read it but i thought of all the posters here and you can't get people that are more passionate then us.


I'm taking my daughter to her first game this week she's far to young to have any idea of what's going on but least when she get's older I can let her know she saw one of the best players to ever pull on a Melb Jumper play his 300th even if she does sleep all the way through it! Really looking forward to this weeks game!

I'm getting that same feeling inside comparably to one of a final, anyone else getting that? I am absolutely pumped for this! :D

One of my kids is in too. The other one is too young, and has number 5 anyway.

Will be a good night. I know I'm excited.

'no cameras' and 'no going onto the ground' for the parents. bummer.

See you there 'deesrock', not that we will be able to recognise each other. (is there a secret demonland handshake we can use?)

Watch out for Robbo taking a dig at Newton about his marking. Gold! :D

Yeah I watched that earlier, very moving stuff, he is a great champion and will be missed when he moves on from our great club :wub:

Lol @ the thought of robbo and juice trying to out-fly eachother :D

We love you Neita!

We need all the players and the supporters to 'LIFT' for the big felle and help him lead us to a victory over the filth on our night of nights.

LIFT!

That's exactly what I said to a friend of mine yesterday. Sure, the feeling before playing a final is incredible, but this has something so special about it as well.


Just reading these tributes gives me goosebumps. Can't wait for friday night. It is guna be a big one.

This week it is wonderful to be able to celebrate the achievement for one of the most inspiring leaders and beloved players at our club.

In this 300 game milestone we are able to sit back and reflect on the wonderful career of a wonderful and loyal player.

A player that is held in the highest possible esteem by all who support, and play for, this historic club.

So congratulations to Neita for being the first Demon to reach the mark, and on 300 magnificent and inspirational games.

You are nothing short of a legend to all at the MFC, and the AFL world at large :D !!!

I'm packing the hankies - win, lose or draw there's going to be tears.

What a man, would try if his legs were cut off. Love 'ya Neita

Just found a picture from last years milestone game so that's my backdrop for the day.

Attached. Hope the crowd is a big bigger for this game!

Is the banner (and therefor guard of honour) going to be in the standard spot in the north-west corner in front of the mcc members area, or elsewhere cos its an away game?

ok, question already answered, from the organiser of the guard of honour. A very prompt answer by him.

Hi Rob,

The team will be running out from the away team's race, which is in the middle of the MCC members stand.

Regards

Martin.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
