1 year and captaincy to Moloney.

I,ve bought a membership knowing full well that I can't get to many games as I work weekends. However, I shall be driving the 200 kms there and back and will get home around midnight, then get up for an early start next day.

Personally, I enjoy Etihad stadium and think it's a great ground to watch the action reasonably close up. Also, as I've saved a bit on petrol not going to the G this year, I'll treat myself and park underneath for the convenience.

So anyone who is sitting on the fence about turning up or not- get off your bloody arses and support your team!

Garland to kick another goal.

You are an inspiration Jim!!

My mother has been battling two brain tumors since November...we are all great Melbourne supporters and a positive for my entire family has been the strength gained from Jim and watching how he continues to fight and live his life as well as the turning fortunes of our great club.

It is almost part of the healing process for my mum going to the games this last year or so as it feels like she is part of something much bigger and it helps her to fight.

So thanks Jim and keep fighting!!

My father died 12 years ago from the dreaded Jimmy Dancer (his was inoperable). I have fond memories as a child going to the footy with him to watch the Dees. Just before he died he gave me his prized possession- a bottle of Demons Premiership Port, purchased from the club in the early eighties, with instructions to open it and share it with my sons when we win our next Premiership. There now seems a real possiblity of the bottle being opened soon.

Good luck with your Mum, she'll enjoy the Premiership when it comes.

Hi folks,

First time poster, long time reader.

First of all, love your stuff guys. Living in Toronto, I survive on this...

Secondly, it is extremely hard to find live streams or highlights of the dees games. Does anyone know of a place where decent highlights are kept by any chance.

Cheers guys

oops... bd beat me to it

I live in Geelong and my wife took our 2 yr old in to the Geelong advertiser with her one day. My 2 yr old looked at the pictures of the Geelong players on the wall and turned to the receptionist while pointing at the pictures and said "Go Dee's" at the top of her voice ,got to love that.

But if you think its bad living in Geelong try living in Perth! Apparently the AFL only consists of 2 teams.

I know the manager at the front office- she's a Red & Blue Demon and gives heaps to visiting writers like Brownless and Bews.

I'm doing my bit for this thread

Nice one, Centurion!

Well done.

They bottled us up in their forward line and we just couldn't break out. Our kick ins are a joke and have been for 20 years I don't know why that is but we never seem to have the right structure and never seem to be able to take the quick kick in. We are the only team in the comp who don't relish the kick in, most other teams seem to regard it as a way to attack, we freeze like a rabbit in the spotlight.

Our field kicking was terrible today and I don't know how many times we kicked it too the opposition. When we did kick it to one of our players, usually in a contested situation,we kicked it to the wrong side of the contest and put our player at a disadvantage.

BTW Someone tell Jamie he doesn't have to take the mark of the round every week and then tell the players that he is not to be used as a high marking option perhaps one or two directed at his chest every now and then would help.

"we freeze like a rabbit in the spotlight"

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Sad news. Knew Clive some years back, a top bloke.

I once went to a talk hosted by David Parkin, designed to gee up the staff. The best thing I got from it was the sandwiches afterwards.
