    Why isn't this game in Cairns ?? I'm in Port Douglas now and I would go to watch them in a heartbeat if it were in Cairns. As it is, I'll be watching it with FND at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas as the coconut palms sway in a gentle tropical zephyr. 

    This is our day people !!

    I live in East Brisbane about 400  metres from the Gabba.  It was very windy here yesterday although fine and sunny. Looks pretty much the same today although a tad cooler. Wind at this stage not as strong as yesterday. The Gabba surface should be just about perfect for the game.

    The Victorian based fans will be easy to spot. They will be the ones in short sleeved shirts with sunscreen on their faces. Us acclimatised and transplanted wannabe banana benders will be wearing jackets! Brrrrrr!

    Heading up from the GC to take my 3 year old to her first game!!! 

    Is there anywhere to park close to the game or is the train/bus really the only way into the gabba?

    Crap wish I had your confidence Pineapple. To me this is definition of classic Melbourne DANGER GAME!!!  We are the better team on paper, are favourites to win, should win and pretty much everyone on here expects to win. What could possibly go wrong....

    See you at the Central.

    why not Collingwood supporters get most of their games for free.

    It's just another way in which the powerful clubs become more so and have done so for the last twenty years.

    This is a must win game.  I don't believe we play finals without beating a Gold Coast team without Tom Lynch.  Nor would an aspiring finals team deserve to be finalists with a loss today.

    Most importantly, we'll be 4/4 with 14 rounds to go.  We'd need to win a minimum of 8 matches from the 14 (preferably 9) to play finals with two games against Adelaide scheduled, a game at Kardinia Park, games against Sydney and the Giants (the latter will have plenty of players back by round 23), and a game against West Coast in Perth, but this time with Naitanui and Kennedy.

    There will basically be no wriggle room to make finals with a loss today.

    I think we'll win and win well, but a loss will most likely mean 'season over'.

    Difference is, they know we Melbourne supporters can afford Foxtel if we chose to get it, filth supporters... well, they probably steal IQ boxes and try and insert them in their ears.

    Great thanks again 

    Second week in a row that I've woken up on gameday without a dose of pre-match nerves.  The formula worked well last week, so I'll stick with it and say we'll win comfortably.  More seriously, that's exactly what we must do if we have finals aspirations.  Anything less and we are no more than pretenders.  Just do it Dees!

    Hopefully a good solid win building on what was a very reasonable performance last week albeit the scoreline flattered us with the Saints appalling set shot kicking.

    Looking forward to Brayshaw delivering a solid game on the back of his BOG last week. Would like to see the Weid get more of it in the first half than in previous weeks.

    Another game we can not take lightly. Suns arent as bad as people think. They have some real talent, its just whether they actually can gel together.

    A must win game and another next week and we are right back in the fold for top 8.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
