    Rod Grinter, great advice and your generosity is amazing.

    People like you restore my faith in human nature. 

    Will definitely check it out next year, if I am still on this mortal coil. Now sorry that I didn't get organized this year.

    yeah it looked pretty barren and brown on tv. was it like that in person? i expected lush green grass

    Haven’t had much rain here in a few months, but ground looked dry and hard, though a lot of grass, felt pretty soft to walk on. Hot day tomorrow though, game before, may change a bit

    Weeeelllll

    Perhaps prepare a package for MFC supporters and send copy to AFL asking if they have or can arrange similar and if not can they promote this one. Then prepare more plans and ask for same assistance. Cc the NT tourism. Tell both you can coordinate for them for a percentag

    From a neutrals perspective its a very fast track if im comparing to grounds in Adelaide, particularly with the warm weather forcasted. 

    Whereabouts are you sitting today RG?

    Probably opposite the TV, scoreboard end, meeting some family there who will most likely beat me there (that want to watch whole red tails game, I am thinking just second half with kids), so will probably be dictated to by where they sit

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
