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.

  • 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?
