No it was outside the "dressing rooms" in the tunnel. They threw on heaps of food and drinks.

Same same. Was with the cheer squad in "T" section and lost my voice for quite a while after the match. Stayed at the G overnight and got home late Sunday.

I got in after watching the Dali Lama drive past. Busy night in old Melbourne town.

WTF. Before he leaves we need a better deal on OUR HOME GROUND. The rest are tennants for god's sake.

Just met neighbours going thru a fence issue and in general conversation we realized we follow Melbourne. They are not members but will join next year if we have a good year. Good result on the fence ensued. Then went to the Alfred for eye checkup (make sure I see free kicks on the other side of the ground) and the lady looking after me also followed Melbourne (I talk a lot) and she said her whole family of eight members follow Melbourne but not one is a member. Do well this year and we should re-connect with many supporters who with a push will join. All up to the boys on the ground and the FD moving forward. A sleeping giant may just awake.

Great spot in my mind. Train from Toorak to Richmond, walk to the ground and get our seats in the members then a quick walk up for a meal and drinks at the new facility (as long as they keep the prices cheaper than inside the ground) then back for the game. Got it planned already.

And the government HAS to include Spring Street as well as Federal. The Federals have pumped millions into Geelong, Essendon, North and of course the filth.

I have always had the belief that Thompson bought the "program" from Geelong and Hird adopted the same at Essendon and Wallis was so far into it as well (who lost all the records?????). HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO STAY IN THE LEAGUE. That's right. Bums on seats = bonus's for AFL management. Alright. I still haven't got over it.

AFL are crazy. Their is no clash whatsoever. This directive of clash jumphers ( in my mind) comes from Channel 7 and some boffin wanting a more "black & white" vision.

To be sure, to be sure. I always thought he bought "the package" to Essendope from Geebung.

Paid my MCC/MFC membership on the 21st Feb. Received an email shortly after confirming such and after calling and an email (which was never responded to) I still haven't received my pack. I don"t really need it but new stickers for the car would be great. Very poor form from the membership department. REALLY needs to be looked at. Come on Peter Jackson.

I agree with you. Oozes class.

We slept the week outside "T" section (city end) before the grand final. Was worth it in the end. Even stayed at the "G" Saturday night for the celebrations. We could in those days.

I renewed on 21/02 (after the Coll crap I didn't think I would) and paid thru the MCC. The footy club acknowledged my payment and advised that my card & scarf would take around 4-6 weeks. When I chased them on that they said they need to get the monies from the MCC and from then it may take 2 to 4 weeks. Mind boggling. P.S. This is my 59th year as a member MFC.

Hah. The stickers turn pink in no time at all. Why the Chinese ( I assume that's where they come from ) cannot get the red right is beyond me considering just about everything for China is "red".

Rank perhaps.

I had the pleasure of working with Harry in the Rialto building (before the upgrade) packing and distributing "Footy Week". A great character and a genuine good guy.

Haha 640MD. The photo's won't stick onto the screen as the screen has whiteout all over it from previous mistakes. Some of the photo's are too big so just working on it.

Hey Old Demon Me. That banner lasted a long time if it was the original. We made back in the 60's up a mates driveway and when we lifted it up after drying we were in trouble as it printed on the ground. We had a room in the pavilion where we stored the banners but if they were wet we took them home to Carnegie and hang them up on the railway line fence the next day to dry. A real effort to take them to the next match on the first train along with bags of cut-up paper. I'm still trying to work out how to post old photo's of the cheer squad.

Always read Demonland but never joined until now. Had Xmas dinner last night with some old cheersquad members last night ( Bells Hotel Sth Melbourne) and one mentioned this topic. I have many photo's from the 60's which I will post and be great to catch up with lost friends.
