  1. So many gutsy saves in the goal square. What a champion. Unforgettable.
  2. That's terrible if the seats in the 2 bays set aside for the Cats v Dees game for Melbourne supporters are only 20% sold! How did you find that out? If it's true then the MFC really should advertise to supporters better.
  3. Wanting to go to the Cats v Dees game on 7 July - so keen to see the Dees win down there with my own eyes, I tried in vain to buy a ticket on Ticketmaster. The site said none available. Ticketmaster really do make it difficult to purchase tickets... I rang the MFC and they were super helpful. They gave me a link and a code word. The link took me straight where I needed to enter the codeword and boom - $63 later and I've got a ticket. Can't wait.
  4. Thanks for being a Demon Majak. All the best for the future.
  5. Loved the run from centre bounces and the relentless manic pressure last night. Reminded me of last year's finals...
  6. Me too! Wishing you all the best mate. Burn baby burn!
  7. Loved having a few Sherbets tonight DemonWa. Allows the creative juices to flow. Glad you enjoyed my litracha!
  8. We will not just beat them, we will murder the filth on Queens birthday 2022. I just feel it in my bones. We are a club with values and principles with their backs against the wall. We are a club prepared to sanction and suspend those who step outside those principles. We have been blasted 24-7 since Sunday in the press for all the wrong reasons, when there is so much going right. So many supporters, members, players, coaches, and admin staff and everyone else who loves our club will be bleeding red and blue right now. Angry as [censored]. Channelling this anger and applying it to playing football will be the secret weapon. Against a club whose questionable values and principles failed to suspend a player for a not so dissimilar transgression in another country. Against members of the public. The value differential between the two sides is stark. And this is key. Time to make a stand Melbourne. Time to murder the filth. Time to turn up and finally enjoy an old fashioned epoch-making Melbourne MCG slaughter of the filth of truly epic proportions. Don't have tickets and want to witness the murder? I have 2 tickets I bought 2 weeks ago that I no longer need, as I've accepted an invitation to the murder from the hallowed seats of the MCC for only the 2nd time in my life. The 2 adjacent tickets are on the 2nd row, 4th level, Olympic stand, next to the MCC on the wing. I'd hate them to go to waste. They cost me $53. I'm happy to give them away for free to a Demonlander so that they can also witness the murder with their own eyes. 1st Demonlander to PM me will get the tickets. Go Dees!
  9. Not sure if this fits the title of humble but, here's my take anyway, I went to Windy Hill. It was 1990. My "Essendon friend" invited me to the Essendon-Melbourne match, and having a hunch that the Dees were a chance to knock off the top-of-the-ladder Bombers on their home turf, I accepted the invitation. Little did I know what was about to transpire... We arrived at the ground and walked to the standing room area in the the outer on the wing. I looked around and became aware that I was surrounded by Essendon supporters. I had expected this, and steeled myself for the contest. The game began and for the first 3 quarters, Essendon were in control. At 3/4 time, Darren Bennett had only kicked one goal. With 15 minutes to go in the last quarter, the score was Essendon 104, Melbourne 70. I had remained resolute and refused to admit defeat. I had been receiving sledges all afternoon from the surrounding Essendon supporters - including my "Essendon friend". However, the final 15 minutes of the 4th quarter were something to behold. Ricky Jackson was on fire and he would finish the game with 4 goals. Strawbs O'Dwyer, Steven Stretch, Brett Lovett, Todd Viney, Garry Lyon, Jimmy Stynes, Graeme Yeats, Danny Hughes, Earl Spalding, and Sugar Healy all pulled the stops out. Melbourne's pressure was immense! But Darren Bennett was absolutely possessed! He booted 4 in the last quarter and was the match winner. At the 15 minute mark I yelled "There's still time - GO DEES!". Raucous laughter ensued from the surrounding Bomber supporters. With each ensuing Demon goal I repeated GO DEES! - there's still time! When we eventually hit the front, I was shaking, and there was a beautiful silence around me. This repeated with an even more perfect silence with yet ANOTHER Melbourne goal. When the siren went, I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. I was elated. I walked with my "Essendon friend" from the outer down the steps to exit the ground. BANG! I was king hit in the back of my head! Fully lost my balance and only just regathered it near the bottom of the steps. I turned around and yelled who did that? Nobody owned up. I invited my "Essendon friend" to the pub to watch the replay but he declined. I went and enjoyed watching a memorable Demon victory at a local Essendon pub. Afterwards, I made it home safely on public transport. I never spoke with my "Essendon friend" again. Make of this story what you wish. However, if you want to see the Dees run riot against the Bombers and watch Darren Bennet kick 4 goals in the last quarter at Windy Hill 1990, click on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chP6t-wz80g Let's hope the Dees bring this against the Swans tomorrow! Go Dees
  10. I was lucky enough to be there with my oldest Demon mate (Dave) when Max said this. Unforgettable and inspirational.
  11. This line in the sand moment will certainly contaminate the contraband. Sand up sinuses will inevitably result.
  12. Melbourne v North Melbourne History at Docklands Stadium There has been 8 matches played between Melbourne and North Melbourne at Docklands Stadium. The first match between these two clubs at Docklands was on July 1, 2000 (when it was known as "Colonial Stadium"). The next game at Docklands between the Dees & Roos was in 2007 when the stadium was known as "Telstra Dome". From 2009 - 2014 (which was the last year the two clubs met at Docklands), there was a match each year between Melbourne and North at Docklands when it was known as "Etihad Stadium". (Source: https://finalsiren.com/PreviousGames.asp?Team1ID=6&Team2ID=13&Go=Go) The startling statistic is that North beat Melbourne in all of these 8 matches. If Melbourne beat North on Saturday (at "Marvel Stadium" as the ground is currently known), it will be the first time ever that the Dees will have beaten the Roos at Docklands. Who wouldn't want to be there to witness that? I'm there! GO DEES!
  13. I think Chandler has been treated unfairly by the MRO I found some footage of tackles similar to Chandler's as a visual comparison August 2021: Hawkins tackles Joyce (concussed). MRO decision: NO PENALTY August 2021: Cordy tackles Koschitzke (played on) MRO decision: $2000 PENALTY May 2022: Chandler tackles Foley (concussed) MRO decision: 2 WEEK SUSPENSION Footage below: https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/chandler-hits-foley/video/c180b325d3e3589d2116f5f72310ac56 As I said, I think Chandler has been treated unfairly by the MRO. MFC should appeal.
  14. So proud of the Melbourne Football Club! 9 wins no losses. 2 years in a row. Top of the ladder. A game clear of anyone. Best percentage. Biggest winning margin against WCE. Happy days. Long may they linger.
  15. Love his work. Was at the Betty Cuthbert Bar (as I often am) last year and saw him and thought I'd walk up and extend my arm and say onya Harmesy! Without hesitation he looked me straight in the eyes, extended his arm and shook my hand saying "thanks". Loved it. Top bloke!
  16. This will be an enduring image for me of today's victory. ONYA Tom MacDonald. Persistence pays off! BORAT never had a chance...
  17. Thanks LH, this is GREAT to watch! Goody is an awesome person putting the salary needs of his players above his own. To hear him say at the end that "we've only just started" gave me chills! Go DEES!
  18. Where did you see GP's announcement 3183? I love to read/see it! Anyway, Great news that Goody's re-signed. Great coach, great bloke, great teacher - not just of players and staff but of fans also...
  19. Noble, the new Neeld? mmm...lets see... It's a bit like trying to compare: inches with centimetres. pounds with dollars miles with kilometres Fb with E Turnbull with Morrison Fitzroy with Brisbane The big difference between the two is one of them hasn't been sacked...not yet... Until that happens, he's close but..until then, no cigar. If it does, will it be the catalyst that launches North to Tassie?
  20. Likewise, another conspicuous absentee was the guy who played 41 games between 1996 & 1997 wearing No. 23...
  21. Can't wait for tomorrow...oops - today! (Sunday 5 December)! I can't sleep. So excited to be able to share the joy of our drought breaking Grand Final premiership win with all of you at the G. WELL DONE to all who have helped to make this happen. You know who you are. You are all legends. See you, and HEAR you today! GO DEES!
