MelbCup

I agree re Fagan. I was rapt for him and I'll support the Lions for the rest of finals. Hope Fagen is holding up Cup at the end of Grand Final. I'll go and cheer for them the next two weeks seeing I can't cheer for us. I'd rather hear their theme song around the G as compared to the one I had to hear last year when final siren went.!

I concur with Neil Crompton's comments re WCW. Demonland would be the poorer without her contributions and I enjoy reading them. Keep up the good work WCW and I'm glad you are a staunch Demon.

I was there tonight and like Doug, would have loved if more were. However I appreciate factors such as, but not restricted to: weather, people travelling interstate or OS to avoid Winter, Olympics on TV, economic situation, carpark shut, bad scheduling, Covid, rsv, flu and other medical conditions etc prevent some people from attending. But good on you Doug for trying to rev up support for the Dees People who couldn't attend, don't have to take Doug comments to heart. At least the loss was less than a goal. This exact day 28th July back in 1979, 45 years ago, I was at Waverley watching the Dees play Fitzroy in Rd17. Final Score: Fitz 36.22.238 Melb 6.12.48 Crowd VFLPrk 12,149 It shattered me but each year I return. I'm sure those absent tonight will also return Doug. Go Dees. I love 'em

Why does the Melbourne fc website say he comes from Exmouth?. Everything I have read states he is from Esperance. There is 20 hours difference if you drive from one to the other. Surely we can get his home town right 🥺

Thanks Whispering Jack for correcting the mistake in my initial post where I wrote Robbie kicked two goals when actually it was one goal in his senior debut. I couldn't let the day pass without some recognition of the great man that I loved to watch playing and I rushed my typing.

It is 50 years ago today that my favourite footballer - the great Robbie Flower made his debut in the seniors for the Dees. I was there. Melb beat Geel Melb 20.19.139 Geel 11.15.81 Robbie kicked 2 goals Little did we know how great he would be...A true Champion. I loved him as all Demons did and most from other sides did also.

Club website says he is from Western Australia. I thought he was from Sth Aust ? Rapt to have him...just what we need
