We had a little chant just for Toby. It’s gonna be sad not ever singing it again. But I’ve been told multiple times by people on here that there’s no room for sentimentality in footy so I guess we’ll just substitute someone else’s name for his. 😭😭😭
Well there is some room within my heart for that secret joy when an an ex Demon plays well.
I am using tiny writing to support my investment in spec savers

No chance we could fit Whitfields wage in the salary cap
We would have to change our clubs name to Mellong

ESPN FOOTY VIEW
Melbourne
List needs:
-
Classy midfielder/forward who can pass precisely to inside 50m targets
-
Ruck depth
-
Outside run and speed
Who should they target?
The major missing link for Melbourne is a classy midfielder/forward who can hit inside 50 targets reliably. 2021 Sandover Medallist, Bailey Rogerswould fill the role perfectly with his versatility to play midfield and forward and his classy skills, strong marking and ball winning capabilities a bonus. With Carlton midfielder Will Setterfield in and out of Carlton's best-22, he may be someone Melbourne could make enquiries into as a further classy midfielder who could add improved balance to the Demons midfield.
While Brodie Grundy has been heavily rumoured to be joining Melbourne, the Demons should be demanding Rory Lobb as part of any deal for Luke Jackson. While Lobb has requested a trade to Western Bulldogs, Melbourne arguably need Lobb more, not just as a ruck, but as a contested marking force close to goal and someone who does not relegate Gawn to spending most of his time forward. What makes the Lobb fit so ideal is that he is ideally suited to a relieving ruck role behind Gawn and gives the Demons the option if Gawn misses games at some point to take over as Melbourne's lead ruck.
While Bradley Hill has been linked to North Melbourne, the wide-open expanses of the MCG would suit Hill much better as it did during his tenure with Hawthorn. With Melbourne a team featuring prolific ball winners, Hill for the Demons would need to do nothing more than just be himself which makes Melbourne his ideal landing spot.
How depressing....

Meds time… someone needs to take a chill pill or ten. It’s a topic of discussion.
And if you’re gonna take someone to task, at least spell their name correctly. It’s B-I-Z-K-I-T 😜

2001, trading Jeff Farmer and Pick 41 for Clint Bizzle.
I really liked Bizzle, but we lost that trade badly.
You have to take what you can get when a player is leaving

Blake Acres (Fremantle) to Carlton in exchange for a future third-round selection
This probably says more about me than anything else but not only is Blake not at the saints but has spent 3 years at Freo and is now at the Blues. Did I miss anything?

I’m afraid your memory is playing tricks with you. We lost to the Eagles in 1990. I still believe it was because the draw, which delayed our match for a week, left us very flat. Even in the warmup, it was plain that we weren’t switched on. I believe that we should have won the premiership that year.
Flat, I remember running down to the boundary line and yelling 'oi, the game actually started 15 minutes ago'

The jam donuts .Mate of mine and i always bought them for our wives on way home via connells tavern in elizabeth st.Two very drunk blokes in charge of donuts is not a good look but it was the thought that counted.First game one year we meet at the tavern my mate only wore his fav jacket to the footy,puts his hand in the pocket ,yep the jam donuts were still there from the last game the previous year
On a similar vein, best mate grabs his footy travel bag for a spruce up the day before round 1. Inside was a paper bag containing 2 dim sims.

Usually someone like Royce Hart would then take over in the 3rd quarter and we would be smashed.
Did you go to that game too? I used to dread the last quarter against the Tigers, Rolls Royce would kill us.
I have lots of memories of the strange, quirky and down right unpleasant events that happened outside of the playing of the game.
1. My nanna had a friend (extended irish catholic family) who worked as a Corps of Commissioner on the gate at the MCC. My nanna, 3 of her cronies and 5 grand children would gain entry using 2 ladies tickets.
2. Early in the first quarter Uncle Graeme threw his record down into the aisle in disgust, whereupon a young kid grabbed it and ran off.
3. It was so wet at Artic Park that I watched the game through a moth hole in my beanie.
4. As a young kid, at a packed out game, I stood up in an exciting moment for a better view. When I went to sit back down someone else was sitting in my seat. (weird sensation that)
5. Hot donuts - who doesnt have a story about them. After the game I purchased 6 hot jam donuts, placed them in my coat pocket with some effort, and headed to Richmond station. On the train (blue harris?) I pulled one out, took a bite, whereupon half a gallon of scalding jam shot out over my face and chin and down my hands. I stood there whimpering, covered in jam, trying to reach my hanky which was under the bag of donuts.
Losing the car at Artic park, losing Father in the car park after a night game at the MCG, what DID happen to Aunty Jess and the very drunk blind man will have to wait for another day.
