Let’s get excited...

First things first. I hope that the club are going to have another march to the G like before last year’s game. It was a fantastic sight to see all the red and blue in Fed Square. On Sunday the Hawks were doing a similar thing to celebrate their record membership. I actually went to Fed Square early with a couple of Hawks mates as supposedly Jeff Kennett was going to say a few words and there would be merchandise..

Well there was nothing.

About 300 Hawks fans turned up and rather than Kennett come down and congratulate the fans it was just some guy from Hawthorn in a suit with a megaphone on the stage telling people to start walking to the G. My Hawks mates weren’t happy about it so thank god Transport was right there for a few pre match frothies.

I really enjoyed the Fed Square experience last year and i want the club to do it all again and get the word out as early as possible and make this a Queens Birthday tradition.

Get a merchandise stand up for the new jumpers, have that egg and bacon roll stall again...make it a festival!

It’s our proudest day of the football year and we should be ramming it down the throats of the football world that Queens Birthday belongs to Melbourne.

So c’mon MFC...get the word out again and get to Fed Square and see that sea of red and blue stream down Birrarung Marr and towards our home!

    I don't think it will happen again this year, last year it was almost the start of the season when they told everyone about it, and mostly did it coz of 150 years, would do it if MFC come out and said they were doing it again but won't do it if there are rumors going around that it will happen again.

    Already got Tuesday off :D Huge day, hope they give out flags again. The sea of red heading up Birrarung Marr looked awesome last year.

    I'll be there. If they're giving out flags again, i'll be able to donate my players/coaches/Jimma signed flag to a worthy recipient and enjoy getting the signatures again :)

    I may not make it to Fed Square but not even swine flu is stopping me from going to the game.

    After all that talk about going if it was official, i cant make it early and will be pushing to make the game in time for the start, dag nabit.

    with the messiah being named in the squad, maybe it should be renamed "Pilgrimage to the G", where they can feed the masses with 2 meat pies & 5 buckets of chips.

    hope they have a frothie station or 2 along the way

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
