Just read in the HUN that the Blues want to muscle in on MCG is there enough room for 5 clubs thoughts?

    They've already got us there in their home game.

    In fact the only two decent home games we have from a crowd perspective are Pies and Hawks.

    Could also be designed to drive a better deal out of Etihad and is good timing as noted by DC above!

    There is no room for them at the G unless other clubs move games from there.

    Frankly i am more worried that the Demons are still forced to play a home game at Etihad. If Carlton come to the "G" they should be offered our Sunday twilight timespot and reprogram us for Friday nights and Saturday games like we used to enjy. After all, we started life as the MCCFC!

    I would be happy to see Collingwood and Hawthorn move and be replaced by the Doggies and Kangaroos! That would make for a more equitable competition!

    It is part of a membership push so how serious it is who knows.

    Sad part is CBD that even playing a Sunday twighlight game, Carlton would still get 50,000+ there.

    Because most of their members don't have work or school on a Monday morning.

    The part that annoyed me was that they listed the 'tenant clubs' in the article in the following order:

    Collingwood, Melbourne, Hawthorn and Richmond.

    It is our home ground only .... The rest are co-tenants horning in on our awesome MCG.

    As far as I know we were there first. Everyone else is a freeloader who should be paying us for the privilege.

    We can then sling the MCC a few dollars for their trouble.

    BLUES WANT THE G

    well lets go,, off to 'Docklands' then....

    if they want us off the 'G', we'll show them! We can take over the TelstraDome!

    practice near the 'Wheel', & share with the Bulldogs.

    Hell, we may even merge with the Roos, while we're down there.

    I've got an original Idea!

    How about the Blues & Roos merge & hop about the Docklands... they could be the BlueRoos. all they need is a stripe or 2. & replace the whiteant on the jumper with a Roo image.

    Geographically close.

    They could take shares in one another...

    Of course we were there first! We invented the blxxdy game! We were the Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club when we started life as I suspect that most of our first players were also MCC cricketers keeping fit during the winter. Personally, I would be happy to see the Pies go back to Victoria Park, Hawthorn to Glenferrie Oval and Richmond to Punt Road. An alternative would be for Richmond to go to the Kevin Bartlett Oval (which is in the city of Richmond) and let us use their ground as our training ground and home base, after all it is located in the City of Melbourne. Grassroots footy is what we should be encouraging!

    The blues want the G?

    Well good for them!

    So what?

    I really don't think it's as easy as all that.

    Are some here feeling threatened..?

    it's just posturing to get a better deal from Deathlands stadium

    nothing to see here

    That and to boost their membership. I think I heard that they told their supporters they will play home games to the 'G' if they get 50,000 members. We should get Mitch Clarke to come out and say his foot won't heal unless we get 40,000 members, it would have similar credibility.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
