I wear Melbourne gear...pretty much every day. Today it was the big jacket....it's still soaked

He's a great bloke, one of the dad's at the school I work at. Very exciting times!

Why bring it up if you don't want to reveal that you know it?

We win a Premiership

Who is this "Carlton"?

Great call

We will not kick more than 12 goals. Bookmark it

Happy the debutants stayed in. Bloody upset about Garland, but it does let us see what Martin can do - possibly up forward though I doubt it. Johnson at the back is interesting, he had a go up forward last week but couldn't get into much. Sylvia had better pull his finger out, doesn't seem to have had to earn his spot, so hopefully he makes the most of it.

JtR, you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you can get a nice cold beer for $9 a pop near the beach, easily done at the Snow

We should make a banner for the 3rd quarter, "Get that scum off our ground"

The scoreboad should read MELBOURNE: visitors:

I literally cannot believe the changes that have taken place in this club in the past 12 months, seriously, think back to some of the threads from last year. This is amazing

$3m raised through debt demolition 2 major sponsors, albeit late, whose total contribution was larger than a mooted as a potential sponsor Increased membership Demon Heartland Youth and Demon Summits, where ideas were listened to and acted on AFL and MCC funding kept in place for the club Past Presidents brought together to unite the club Home established at Casey, and the Casey area utilized as a tool for growth The club gaining an administrative homebase at the MCG The club realigning itself with the biggest sporting club in the world, the MCC Added on: Mates of Melbourne initiative Have I missed anything? All in 8 and a half months. This club is going places. Thank you Jim Stynes. But times like this cannot even be cruelled by "anti-Stynes sentiments" because this is now about all of us. This is not one man in control, this is not a detached board helping the club, this is about the Melbourne Football Club and all it's followed coming together and turning round a club that was literally going down the gurgler, into a future powerhouse. This is an amazing time, don't forget this time people, it's this time that we will be relating to our friends/kids/grandkids for years to come GO THE DEES

If we win, it'll be because we hold them to less than 12 goals

I heard next season too

Melbourne Birthday parties at the G in this section would be fantastic IMO. Cheap entry tickets for parties, with kids having it at the g and getting "free" knick-knacks from the club and a look around the G

Great write up mate, thanks for that! What about Rivers for J.A.?

In '97 we played them twice. Both shocking results, in '96 we played them twice. One shocking result

If there were 10,000 Roos fans there I'd be very surprised, very. Loads of kids there too!

Were the kids who sang the song prematch some of the Casey kids? Or the kids that formed the guard of honour for the players to run through?

In Sylvia Out Bate

Who should we have picked up in previous drafts then?

Thumbs up to our fans. The ones that showed up were right behind the boys.' The prematch stuff was good, involving the kids

Miller > Bate
