It was a great night. Loved listening to PR speak. All the boys were very approachable. Dunne's speech was very emotional. Nice to see Chip at the night and might tell us more about him than all the pundits here seem to know. Dom Tyson has had some minor work on his finger not his shoulder. He is a really very nice person and was absolutely thrilled to win the awards. (D.Barrett you are a [censored].) He got a great reception from the crowd. Jack W got a great ovation from the crowd when he accepted his award. Obviously not many Demonlanders there tonight. Interesting to listen to the praise from the coaches for the work ethic, the ability to listen and the want to learn and succeed of Neville Jetta. He was very humble when he spoke. Jessie Hogan was gobsmacked that so many fans wanted to speak to him. He thought we may have forgotten about him. As if. Bernie loves Melbourne and Chris Dawes. All of the Award winners emphasised to the playing group to enjoy the break but to come back fit and ready for an even harder preseason. There is still a great buy in from the players to Roosy. No mention of any possible assistant coach. Club should break even or just in the black - a huge plus on 3.5 million in the red. Food was good.

What have you got against Caulfield Grammar

Best to ring the Club on 1300 336 667. They will have all the answers for you.

Not a good look when the player walks away from his coach. Trouble in Paradise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that the Buckley spray at their ruckman. Would love to have been able to lip read. I think he has bigger problems than that. Don't you love it....

......and the supporters. These players acknowledge what the supporters have been through the last couple of years and how "most" of us have stuck with them through this period. As Saty would know talking with the boys, to see the Melbourne crowd celebrating after last Sunday's win would mean so much to them.

Updated - 35661 Anyone that hasn't bought a membership buy a three gamer or even an armchair membership. It all helps.

Dawes should be congratulated with his lead out to the wing leaving the Essendon player not knowing who to cover Salem or Dawes.Ah the joy of turning around and staring down the idiot Ess. supporters who were laughing with a minute and a half to go.

There was an outstanding response to the event. It was sold out almost immediately. I think it reflects the members and supporters growing positive outlook for the future of our Club. If we can continue improving on field I think membership numbers for 2015 will be amazing.

Yes it is our home game.

Ring the Club 1300 DEMONS or 1300 336 667 but whatever you do get there early and check that the MCC Park is open given that we have had some rain this week. If you ring the MCC that morning there is usually a message about the car parking.

yes

We all would be ecstatic with 80,000 but 70,000 - when was the last time in the last couple of years that the Club could lay claim to attracting that many. Personally I would be very happy with 70000+. Without rain anything could happen.

There are numerous membership options with Reserved Seats but suggest you ring Membership on 1300 336 667 and they will gladly clear up any confusion.

Anyone with a GA membership (without Reserved Seats) can scan in as usual and go to Level 4. There is no additional charge to pay. Go Dees

The Club's website has details of the activities at the MCG and also the "Walk". Let's hope for 80,000 for the boys and the coffers.

Keep an eye on the Club website for news of activities before the game. Also thought it would be great to see a massive amount of flags up and about before and during the game. Would be uplifting for the boys to hear our voices and see the flags waving. The Demon Army do such a great job but it would be even better if that effect was continued all around the ground. The other show of support would be for everyone to wear their scarves - a sea of red and blue. Also noted on the Club website was that the first open training was on Saturday morning. Good to get the kids all down to watch training.

Yes, I agree when was the last time we saw a CEO and Pres. at a Tribunal hearing. Goes to show what this meant to the Club. I think a little more than just defending Jack. It was a defense of our Club and to show the football world what we now stand for. I hope the boys do the same Sat night.

Just come back from a month in Italy and was shattered when I couldn't get the AFLlive on my ipad or computer. I rang AFL Melbourne and after a very annoying wait (I did say I was ringing from Italy) they advised oh no live play was not available in Italy - rest of Europe yep but not Italy. I was shattered but listening to AFLlive radio V Carlton was almost as good. Oh yes have never purchased and will be happy not see the "love me long time" girls. My donation is forthcoming!!

The curse is lifting...............

Send this to the Club!

Chris Dawes impressive do or die tackle. Watts and Howes genuine improvement (Roos surely has the gift) Jack G's desperate spoil The whole teams keeping to the systems for the whole of the last quarter despite the Crows having the run - on and 49,000 Adelaide supporters screaming. Lastly Bernie's grin when the siren went. Magic.

Difficult to manage thousand of supporters to stand up at the same time. I think the banners work better (like the Scully banners) because they will be captured on TV. Pity we cant get the Demon Army to hold something up but it may be a little provocative for the Club but you never know.

This decision hopefully will galvanise supporters into coming Saturday night. A few banners supporting Jack would be nice.

Typical AFL - we didn't tank but still got a $500,000 fine - Jack didnt bump but he gets 2 weeks - please someone explain
