Time for a DLand gathering of kindred spirits.

Name the bar and time.

I've been to Simmonds stadium and Manuka oval this year so I may as well go to a game in the Melbourne CBD.

Who knows, maybe we might get our first win at this stadium for 8 years, a stadium located a whopping 7ks away from where we train.

No, seeing the players have checked out, shut up shop and turned off the light then so have I. Will go to the finals and watch skilled, committed teams that actually care and play for finals success.

The players aren't turning up, why should we? Waste of time, Money and energy.

I would rather take my eye out with a blunt spoon.

I thought the footy finished a couple of weeks ago!?

As I was walking out yesterday I said there is no way in hell I'm going to GWS game, hate docklands and right now I hate my football team. Come sunday week will probably go for one last excruciatingly painful day before the good stuff starts for Demon supporters, the off season! The off season is the only time I seem to have any hope about this team ever getting out of the chasm they've been in for 8-9 years now!

I'll be there with my dad, probably sitting in the nose bleeds looking down at acres of empty seats on level 1. We'll be the ones telling the players exactly what we think of them and their pissweak performances.

I'll be there cos my dad is travelling up for it.

We love three hours away from each other and to be honest it's the only reason I'll renew next year.

Mmmm..... whatever floats your boat.

In all honesty if that is the mood you will be in then do not go.

Go somewhere and enjoy the day with your father.

It will be much better to have good fathers day memories of time spent with him.

Not a crap afternoon at the dome of death.

Please remember he will not be around forever enjoy him now.

I won't be there, I've got to work. Even if I had the day off I would be 50/50 on going. That performance on the weekend was an insult to the fans. Bruise free footy returned for the first half of that game and even the second half was pathetic.

Mmmm..... whatever floats your boat.

Ha ha, feckin auto correct!!!

On a side note, will we be able to buy reserved seats for this game?

This will be a high scoring game.. there will be absolutely no pressure from either side.

Don't think there will be a shortage Gorgoroth.

You don't need to apply pressure to Melbourne. Melbourne applies pressure to itself.

There could seriously be less than 10,000 people at this game.

Great fixturing by the league to have Melbourne vs GWS, two sides certain to miss the finals at the start of the year, playing at Etihad late on a Sunday in the final round of the year.

They could probably play it in Bali both lots of players are already there mentally.

I predict a record low crowd for the MFC.

Shame its our home game but then the players are killing this club. When they play to an empty stadium they might get the msg.

Nah they will just collect their fat pay cheques and head off on their end of season trip. Pina colada here we come.

Can anyone give me a good reason why I should go? The players seem to have shut up shop for the year.

to enjoy the ambience of etihad?

Ha ha yeah I know, just would prefer to pay a extra amount to sit on the wing than level 3.

I'll be there.

Haven't got any expectations in particular, but hoping to see more of that Hogan potential.

I've seen a reasonable smattering of both good football and horrible football on field this year, but the consistent thread in the games I've been to has been Jesse has done some exciting things out there. He's a pretty good reason to turn up to watch us play, and tbh we haven't had that many of them in recent years.

the game is at 1:10pm. No late start.

Sad, cynical and even more sad, accurate jnr

Probably cheaper for me to fly there and go to the game than to attend Subi.

I'll be there in spirit..

Probably a very angry [censored] off spirit by the end.

I like the vast majority will not being going anywhere near it

I might actually leave the city for the day juust so I can be further away from it

From my "footy injury" post:

"I've just finished booking flights/accommodation for the final round... will take him along to the Friday training and then to the game against GWS on the Sunday (there's a nice symmetry there as the other game we got to see was the opener against GCS - let's hope results go the same way)."

So yep, will be going as any result will at least take my son's mind off his injury even if just temporarily.
