....and yet no other international act performing at the MCG resulted in the Demon Shop being closed. In fact when Billy Joel performed there, his drummer was wearing a Melbourne Guernsey, which he'd bought when he came across the Demon Shop while setting up.

I can't believe Adelaide wanted Petty or Clarry for him!

Overall an incredibly negative article. Can't believe I wasted my time reading that drivel.

Best training review I've read.

Just got an email from Tam in the club that 4 inaugural Dees, being Lily Mithen, Paxy Paxman, Sarah Lampard and Lauren Pearce have all re-signed.

Born into it. Dad was a massive Melbourne supporter, and all of Mum's family Hawthorn. We could pretty much choose who we wanted to barrack for when we were kids, my brother and I both chose Melbourne, my sister Hawthorn. I think I chose Melbourne for the following reasons: - I idolised my big brother, and I pretty much copied everything he did; - I was Daddy's little girl, and worshipped the ground he walked on; - Even as a kid, I figured Dad was more into footy than Mum was, and if I had much of a chance of going to the footy, I best choose his team; - I did waiver a little in the late 70s in later primary school years, mainly because kids in my class laughed when I said I barracked for Melbourne, but then I figured that because my primary school colours were brown and yellow, I had enough poo and wee in my life already. 2024 marks 39 years of being a Melbourne member. I'm pretty much dyed in the wool now.

Who are you talking about there, Banno or Loz? If you're talking about Loz, she just came third in the Best and Fairest. If you're talking about Banno, she's 20.

Gay wouldn't go for less than a first round pick, she's also a premiership player. She's requested a trade to Essendon, they have pick 13. Rather handy if we can get it.

Umm, we got a first round pick for her, that's not too disappointing.

Has anyone ever seen Harry and Jed together in the same room?

I wonder if the nature of the facility means anyone would be punished for going there....

they have to be footy department related questions. Bear in mind the AGM is the following week, good time to ask that question then. I'm sure plenty of members have an opinion about this!

Harris has been carrying injuries all season. Banno I'm not sure.

Blatantly obvious that that's what they were doing, all in the name of ensuring the AFL got their dream of a Collingwood premiership.

Says everything, really.

OMG, she's an exciting packet!

I agree with all your points, apart from your comment about Mithen. What she brings to the team is absolute team spirit, which cannot be easily replaceable. She's psychologically and culturally crucial to the team, and I'm always surprised she's not in the leadership group. Her impact is immeasurable in terms of quantifying "Demon Spirit". Plus she's a bloody good footballer. I'd hate to lose her from the team.

I attribute the quality of last year's GF to the [censored] surface. It was telling when Melbourne had their training session the day before, and when Alyssa Bannan went to go for a sprint and bounce the ball, it didn't bounce back up, and the first thing Mick Stinear said was don't run and bounce with the ball. It was just not match ready at that stage, and that affected the playing style of both teams. Megan Fitzsimon's shot for goal in the dying seconds of the game is evidence of that, if it was a good surface, there's no doubt it would have been a goal - instead it just stopped dead in its tracks.

Precisely. I'm over 2023.

I had to look up who Seb Mottram is. Digital Content Producer. So in other words no football knowledge.

Yes, I saw that and actual vomit appeared in my mouth. I think it was a cubed piece of carrot.

I'm sorry but since when would Williamstown or Altona be considered Melbourne heartland?????

Jack Billings perhaps?

This to me has kind of surprised me a bit, given he's come to us from Adelaide. Darren Burgess had them doing pretty hard, intense training sessions when he was at Melbourne, I'd have thought McAdam would have been a part of that at Adelaide. I know he'd spent much of the season injured, but still.

Yikes, it doesn't take much for the Chicken Little Melbourne supporters to come out from under their doonas, does it???
