  1. I'll wait with interest re the details of "ticketing" and the number of people allowed in to the G for the celebration.

    I would assume that it's members first. That should then be based on years of membership then count down. If that's exhausted, the general supporter can have a crack. 

    Loyalty respected, loyalty rewarded. 

    Personally, I'd like an email from the club saying "thanks for your many years of passionate and financial support". 

    Please find attached your ticket to our celebration.

  2. The AFL record Premiers arrived today. Great photos, stories, profiles and breakdown of the game. Excellent value for $15.00. Still waiting on a few more items.

    Got a couple of extras for my Demons kids because you never know...they could be waiting another 57 years like I did before we win another flag. I had the '64 record but left it behind when I moved out of home, never to be seen again. 

    In '64 no biggie. Another flag the next year beckoned. What a fool was I. Load up just in case.

    Seems the accepted methods are a carton of grog or a few cones.

    And here I was thinking we were a diverse bunch on here.....

     

    Just to re-enforce the old MFC stereotype, I have a couple of bottles of Italian Balliamo Pinot Grigio delle Venezie on hand. Described as "crisp and refreshing" and "vibrant". Exactly just as I hope our Demons play tonight. Unfortunately the only cheese will be on the nachos currently being prepped.

  4. I'm still trying to work out how to artistically arrange my rather large collection of Demons scarves inside my front window.

    If we get through this weekend it'll then be time to don the flashing red horns I got yonks ago and scare the local kids.

  5. One small blessing. Considering that most of us can't attend any matches, the work that the MFC media department is doing to keep us up to date from W.A. should be applauded.

    Once I've dealt with the afternoon emails, MFC official is the first site I hit.

    I'm loving the effort they're making from the Joondalup Resort. Interviews and footage...eating it up (more than once).

    The club is clearly making an extra effort to keep us in the loop for good reason as most of us are stuck elsewhere.

    Hats off to Ben Gibson and Caitlin Nobes. You're doing a great job.

    I've noticed a lot of posters quoting their feelings of MFCSS in the lead up to our Preliminary Final against Geelong.

    It's time we reclaimed this negative acronym, make it our own and wear it with pride.

    My proposal is that, henceforth, we assign the following meaning to the term:

    Melbourne  Football  Club  September  Specialists

    Ease up. You're trying too hard. Take a chill pill, relax and watch the footy as it happens.

    I'd be bitterly dissapointed, we enter Preliminary final week with a healthy list, in good form and as the best side in the competition, any result other than a flag in my opinion would equate to a choke. 

    I think at the start of the year i would have been happy with making the 8 but when you win the first 11 games or whatever we did, the goal posts shift.

    Seriously? Assuming we make it to the GF and then get beaten by a better team on the day...you call it "a choke"?

    There's no way this current side will "choke". You've been reading too many articles about MFC v Eagles and underestimate the steel of this side. 

    Get there first, win or lose, this won't be a choke. It's a very different team.

    Holy hell peeps!

    We've gotta get past a Prelim first....

    I'm keeping my powder very dry right now but so much of this thread reads like we're a dead certainty!

    No cert, as I said "IF".

  9. "IF" we make it to the GF in Perth, it's going to be super-important that one way or another we can get as many Demons fans at the ground on the day.

    Say we're playing Port and the SA/WA border is open, just imagine how many Port fans will flood into WA and overwhelm our supporters.

    Not to our advantage but then again, it could make the premiership even sweeter.

    I saw it and right in front of the umpire who did nothing. 

    As an aside. In the old days, if you were an umpire, you'd pull out your note pad and pencil, turn the player around and write down his number and confirm his name and tell him he had been reported. Then game on.

  11. It's just gone up a notch. Obviously disrespectful but now also intentional (what a surprise). Greene should get 6-8 weeks on all the available evidence.

    If the lily-livered AFL hierarchy ever wanted to set a precedent, now's the time. Think of all the junior umpires out there looking at this behaviour.

    This thug has got away with too much in the past.

    Time to call him to account.

    II'm  pretty impressed by GWS, and expect them to beat Geelong.

    GWS were overrun in the last quarter and, thanks to the Swans poor conversion , could have lost by 4 goals.

    Yes, poor kicking is poor football. Couldn't care less who wins their match. It's Port who are our major threat.

    Yeah, hate anyone who drops to their knees or ducks into tackles... Unless its Spargo, then it's just 'crafty' and he 'played it well'...

    This Spargo is a ducker theme is getting way out of hand. It's like a "jump on the bus now" response or otherwise you'll get left behind.

    Not sure where the latent dislike for Charlie stems from.

    Reminds me of the numerous posts that said he couldn't kick over 35 metres. Watch his highlights and reconsider.
