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 Ā - 5 membership and only go to the games against interstate teams. It is just too hard at any game against Tigers , Collingwood or Essendon.

25,000Ā  Melbourne fans and 2,012 GG . ONE SHORT!Ā  Missed it by that much.Ā  Ā NO we won't.

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

Jaded,Ā 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.

Sunday Twilight and on Free to Air

I am betting it’sgoing to be cold....

20,000

320 isn't twilight it's late afternoon


Is the worst time for a game imho. Invariably many other commitments on a weekend..esp a Sunday.

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

Ā 

I love a 3:20 sunday game.Ā  Can get up, get the family stuff done, out for lunchĀ and still make the game.Ā  then after can kick on for a couple of sneaky sunday night beers

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
