79 years since Melbourne, Collingwood and Richmond played in a finals series

1939 was the last year that Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood played together in a finals series. Hard to believe.

    That is amazing.

    Incredible. And there is even a possibility that all three could play eachother!

    Richmond (1st) deafeats Collingwood (4th)

    Melbourne defeats Collingwood in the Semi, and finds their way to the Grand Final against Richmond.

    It would be like the finals were turned into a commemorative special event in honour of the MCG.

    What's even more incredible is that there is a big chance one of them is a runner up to us as we win the flag.

    And who were premiers in '39, '40 and '41? ?

    I think it was in 1940 Melbourne had apoliceman tagging Jack Dyer.

    The only time Jack Dyer was suspended was when my grandfather, a goal umpire, reported him.  Quite proud of that.

    AFL house will be like some “Manor” in Romsey this morning. Jolly good floggings all over the place, the AFL would mandate 2 of 3 of Dons, Tigs or Pies are to play finals every season if they could.

    Add in 1 Cinderella bottom feeder team like Saints, Dees, North or Dogs.

    Stir with GWS and at least 1 team from each other state and you have jolly good floggings at AFL house..

    First time since Pies and Hawks officially joining Demons (No.1 tenant) and Tigers in 2000 as primary tenants of the ‘G’ that all four tenants have made the finals in the same year. 

    Time to kick them curbside.

    Are we a tenant club? I was always under the impression that we were a home club and I think this was confirmed when we were accepted as a sporting section of the MCC again .. I believe all others are tenant

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
