Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
And replace Hart with Lappin or Aker

As evidenced by his well deserved 4th placed B&F - he was close to our most important player early in the season I reckon

Where did you get that Gold plated jewellry box with Max Gawn on it? 🤣

Premiership Cup Tour
Yep I booked this way for 6 of us and it worked but had to order each ticket individually to apply the codes

Merch/Memorabilia
I ordered an item that was due in on 13/12 - called them last week and they told me it would be received 13/12 and shipped via express post so would come before Christmas. Still "Awaiting Fulfillment" so I called again yesterday and they said it has been received and is in the warehouse being sorted/counted and would be sent via express post in next day or 2 and would come before Christmas. Here's hoping!

What they're saying about Max elsewhere
It's the most consistent I've ever seen us and I think its because it was built on a solid foundation of a sound defensive structure and supreme fitness allowing us to run up and down the field all day. I've never seen a Melbourne team with such strong defense as 2021.

To be fair I'm still not convinced by Richmond and they've won 3 flags 😂

Was about to post exactly this although I'd give Viney=Libba

Gone in 40 seconds.
This was me too, still way too nervous at 3/4 time, I only felt like the cup was surely ours after Nibblers goal. After that it was party time. It still feels surreal to say it.

Gone in 40 seconds.
The amazing thing is we did pretty much the same earlier in the same quarter, 3 goals in a minute! In one quarter of a Grand Final we had two separate periods of kicking 3 goals in under a minute. It's astonishing, I can't really remember anything like it in footy before let alone in such an important game at such an important time.

2022 Fixture
I'd rather play interstate teams away and play Vic clubs at home. Better for the finances and better atmosphere at games (especially if we're winning).
-
2022 Fixture
We sell games because they are not profitable in Melbourne. It defies logic to play a fellow Vic team in Alice, we play the low drawing interstate sides like Suns, Port, Freo, GWS

2022 Financial Report
We've got the Dogs on opening night and Essendon as a home game in round 3 though which should help offset the other two. Plus the Alice game and home games against Pies & Blues later in the season which could draw crowds depending on how they are performing.

2022 Financial Report
Is that all banked by the club? Or do the players get a share of that prizemoney?

2022 Financial Report
If the year wasn't impacted by covid the club's estimates point to a $6.1m profit. That is outstanding! Hopefully next season is covid free and we can really start capitalising on our success.

Jeez the AFL wants Richmond, Brisbane and Sydney fighting out the top 4 huh?

2022 Fixture
The good - home games against Essendon, Carlton & Collingwood The bad - 7 interstate trips (incl Alice Springs) The ugly - playing down at that [censored] in Geelong - AGAIN

Carlton in round 22, how good would it be to snuff out their finals hopes

Premiership Cup Tour
Thanks for this, I missed out on the ones they already had and thought I'd missed the boat. Have booked in for Saturday 18th with the kids and trying to get my mum, brother and sister to come along too. I asked in another thread but can someone tell me where the other 12 cups are kept? Are they at the MCG/MCC or at AAMI Park?

Jake Bowey Extends Until 2024
Good on him, must be on cloud nine after the last 4 months thinking how good is this?!

TRAINING: Monday 6th December 2021
I gave this a vomit emoji not for the content but because just reading about all that running caused my stomach to heave.
