A friend who barracks for the Tigers said that the only downside of barracking for them now than five years ago is the huge crowd that’s at each match these days and having to plan ahead. Each game is an event. No more just rocking up at the last moment

    I have a few mates who are Tigers members they say you have to have a reserved seat or stay home and watch the TV. I have been a member for most of the last 50 years however when the MFC membership exceeds 50k I will only by a 3  - 5 membership and only go to the games against interstate teams. It is just too hard at any game against Tigers , Collingwood or Essendon.

    Dragging my boyfriend along so make it 27,001. 13 GC supporters, 26,988 MFC supporters and 1 disgruntled partner. 

    Jaded, I'm sure you could easily find a half decent Melbourne supporting boyfriend to go to the football with you to watch the mighty dees if the current one doesn't have the good grace to go along to the G with a smile on his face.

    Most of the good ones are gone but there must be one or two left.

    Why would one want to go to a zoo more than once a year if that?

    Just received an email from the kiddies school.  AFL have given them some free tix to the match,  so looks like they are trying to get some numbers along.  Good luck with that!

    I'm not sure how my presence impacts on the numbers - I take one seat and my guts flops over onto another.

    I've seen the attendants try and 'contain' you when there's been a big crowd. It ain't pretty, Uncle.

    I found an old truss at the local opp shop Moonie - I'll give that a try.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
