Let's crack 50,000 on Saturday Night

Why not? There's 14,000 already with a great cause with the BCNA. Why don't we get out too?

We are off the mats for the first time in seven years. The membership is at 34,000. The ability is there. Let's get the word out. 50k at the G to support cancer, to support the Dees and watch them knock off the Dogs. It would be an amazing 'Melbourne are BACK' moment.

as we have all realised for a long time, the far and away most effective way to get bums on sits is to play competitive footy and actually get a scalp or two.. now that we have finally done that we should see a good turnout, i'm tipping there will be a LOT of hard-boiled jaded types attending their first live game of the season

I know its a terrible thing to think about but if we do get a big crowd do the proceeds go to us or BCNA?

Look forward to this game - don't know if i have any pink though.

I like Hardwick and I'd be sorry for him to get let go. He's been one of the few coaches that has stuck up for the Dees when the media have fired potshots at us over the years.

Played against us in the 2000 GF though!!

Myself, mrs sassy ( newly converted Melbourne supporter), and her brother will be there, possibly not wearing pink but fairly keen to buy one of the pink jumpers.

Its a fantastic night. Last time I was very close to the centre of the MCG in the drizzle with my pink poncho on. What broke my heart was seeing loads of men, cradling a framed photo of a loved once who had succumbed to this terrible disease with tears running down their faces. Some of these guys were big, tough blokes all bought together with something in common.

I locked eyes with the great Jimmy - will never forget that moment. Went along with my friend who was not a Melbourne supporter but a breast cancer sufferer in her mid 40's - her prime of life. She unfortunately lost her battle 18 months ago. My mum is battling this terrible disease at the moment. I will be there for her.

Remember if you plan on coming, you need to get there early ( I think it is about 4.30pm) as it takes a bit of organising to get everyone on the field but it is truly the most amazing feeling when the put the picture of the pink lady up on the TV screen.

I would crawl over broken glass to be there.

I predict 34,000 to 39,000: 10,000 of the remaining contributors staying with their free tickets, 15-20k Melbourne fans, 10-15k Dogs fans, depending on weather.

Fight me.

All good BB, I'll be making plenty of noise. I'm normally the bloke standing in a pub in NSW by himself making more noise than the other 100 people watching the league.

Great post Jane, hope all goes well for you and your mum

The only game on in Melbourne this weekend. Soccer finished. AHG should give away a car. MFC supporters should be banned from watching Fox/Seven this weekend. For once lets give the players a roar they haven't heard since Brock McLean sealed the game and Grant Thomas in '06.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
