  1. "That NZ dance thing" is the haka, which is a huge part of NZ culture and tradition and has been performed pre-game by the All Blacks since early 1900. Please don't throw that in the same basket as the manufactured BS that Port do. Liverpool is tolerable because that was started by the fans.
  2. Certainly is! Wait till they do the player profiles for this year's draft prospects. We'll probably start seeing the "plays like.... " line, and it'll be one of our guys!
  3. Absolutely nuts what he is doing this early for a guy of his size/experience. He played the GF as a 19yo and turned 20 today. 😳
  4. Premiership should get us an extra 10,000 new or returning members at least. Then there are the ~25,000 Melbourne supporting MCC members who don't have dual MFC/MCC membership. 65,000 seems realistic, but if some of the MCC guys jump aboard cracking 75,000 is definitely possible. I'll go 71,966
  5. Apologies if already posted... Melbourne Demons Rhapsody 😁 https://fb.watch/8iLkS0az-y/
  6. All the news coming out of the NRL over last 24 hours has made me think about our boys in Perth. I hope they are having the time of their lives, but doing so sensibly and not getting involved in the WA party scene or into any compromising situations with the locals.
  7. Titus on point, as usual... https://www.titusoreily.com/afl/the-monday-knee-jerk-reaction-grand-final-2021

  9. I love these. Thanks @The Mighty Demons!!!
  10. BF gameday thread is also fun to read. Bont goal to put them 19 up is on page 100 https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/afl-2021-grand-final-demons-v-dogs-sat-september-25th-7-15pm-est-5-15pm-wst-optus-congratulations-demons-🍾🏆-match-highlights-in-op.1285538/page-100 😁
  11. Another good read over on BF re our 16.4.100 to 1.1.7 run... https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/best-30-minutes-of-football-ever.1287418/
  12. Game was absolutely beyond my wildest dreams. Scored 100 points to their 7 since half way through 3rd when they up 59-40 Last two games after half time... Prelim - 10 goals to 1 Grand Final - 16 goals to 3 GO DEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. No change for us Dogs Weightman, Keith in for Vandemeer & Gardner
  14. My rugby mad mother, who I have converted to massive AFL fan and MFC member, will be watching from NZ
  15. It's probably already been said, but if we had taken Wines, we probably wouldn't have had one of Oliver or Petracca today. Similarly, whilst 2019 was a horrible year, without it we wouldn't have Jackson, and probably not have Kossie either. Silver linings in everything.
  16. Max is #11 👉 1 + 1 = 2 Max kicked 5 goals in prelim 👉 11 x 5 = 55 👉 2 + 55 = 57 Who needs Cam Mooney? 😎
  17. Dr D said he was no good though. Think he said the same thing about Jackson for that matter. What/who do I believe????????? 🙄
  18. That game was when we were having our little form dip, having just come off the draw v Hawthorn. I am confident we will be much more 'on' this time around.
  19. Melbourne - beaten anyone yet?
  20. Yep 👍 86 - 58
  21. It would make my sport following life so much easier if my brain allowed itself to believe that... 😕 Ok, stuff it... We win 86 - 58 Petracca BOG
  22. I had a sleepness night last night, but when I did drift off had a vivid dream of the final score tonight, and BOG. Wrote it down so I wouldn't forget. Would it be bad luck to post it here?
  23. I moved to Melbourne from NZ in late 1999, and after many 'recruitment' attempts from Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon & Richmond fans I settled on the Demons. 2000 I thought I'd enter myself in an online tipping competition and I guess with no pre-conceived ideas about the teams or who the players were, I managed to win. Prize was 4 tickets to each week of the finals series, including the GF, so the first game I saw live was the Qualifying final vs Carlton. Probably still my favorite game, ahead of the 2 x 2018 finals. Been to plenty of bad games, but the worst, probably because of how disappointed/mad I was afterwards was round 23, 2017 where had to beat the Filth to make finals, but choked and finished the season 9th.
  24. Considering some still question what ANB brings to the table and are apparently happy to trade away Brayshaw and/or Sparrow I'm not sure a subjective opinion on an anonymous forum is going to appease too many here. If it's true....
  25. I'm sorry, but my red undies, red socks, dark blue trackies, royal blue superman t-shirt and home made red & blue beanie (thanks MIL) beg to differ. Stuck with that same combo all season 😎
