If we do play in Sydney week 1, I suggest jumping in early to get flights. 

All the frequent flyers (me included), will be on the Qantas website trying to score freebies with points. 

The real question is, fly in fly out, or fly in, stay the night so you can drink post match, then fly out? 

Hopefully we win on Sunday and get to play at the G. 

It will be a Night game and fly out option is not on due to airport curfew. Need to stay unless driving back.

Loser standing small ...

As it happens, I'll be in Sydney the weekend of the first finals. Needless to say, if the Demons are playing there, I'll be there (+ 3 offspring... all Demons' supporters).

Dees 80% likely to play Geelong at the G during the day! 

I hate night games!

I'm being selfish but I would much prefer a night game because I'm over in London. Really would prefer not having to wake up at like 5-6am for our first final in over a decade!

Warning THIS IS A RANT.  I have never been to a final before.  My husband (hawks) has been to a zillion finals plus 4 grand finals.  You know what he said when I told him I would be road tripping it to Sydney if we end up having to play there?  "You aren't single anymore, you have a family & kids to look after.  Plus your team is not the only team in the finals (i.e. if you go to Sydney I have to stay home & MIND MY OWN CHILDREN & hence will miss out on seeing my team play finals".  My response "ok ok, we will cross that bridge if it comes to it, stomped out the room & yelled BUT I AM GOING & YOU CAN'T STOP ME....!!!  Bloody selfish poos & wees supporting husband.....  Rant over.  Thanks for listening my fellow demons :-)

Go Deeby, I'm with you on this. When we have won 12 premierships since Hawthorns last I will agree with him. 

NB:- in 1964 Melbourne had won 12 flags - Hawthorn 1

               2017 Melbourne 12 - Hawthorn 13

Toughen up hubby, time to look after your kids, go Deeby!

Your first mistake is marrying a hawks supporter..... 

My missus WAS a norf supporter I told her I would buy her what ever she wanted from tiffany and co to ditch the [censored] jumper and get a dees one. 

She now wears the demons jumper proud up here on the GC every game day with out question. I have also been given the all clear to travel to where ever I need to watch a final this year. 

My problem, I dont want to miss the granny so I dont want to fly to melbourne early just to watch us knock off the cats.

Please tell me the children are little dees???


Wouldn't go astray to beat GWS by 50 plus either.

Tell your hubby this sort of rubbish might have been acceptable when we last won a flag. But not in 2018.

Even if we play the first final in Melbourne you should book a beaut room at the Pullman (the old Hilton), have a slap up meal at some flash restaurant (but not with him - dees fans only) and then before the game a big buffet breakfast before strolling to your premium seat ta the g to watch us smash the Cats.

Get ahead of the game and book a room for the following week and hope we play the hawks and make sure he knows he has to look after the kids (because you are more organised).

Out of interest.... Have we ever played at the Sydney Showgrounds?

I can recall playing GWS at Manuka but cannot say I can recall a Showgrounds game. Mind you GWS v MFC matches were never big on FTA.

Yes, we've had some stinking bad performances out there.

In 2013 we let GWS have their only win of the year, and they steamrolled us in the last to win by 6 goals.

In 2014 they also won by 5 or 6 goals in the wet, however I think we had 1 goal on the board at half time.

Won't change our position on the ladder though, we will finish 5th regardless of margin.

Would be a great confidence booster though !

GWS V Melbourne week 1 (if it happens) may actually be at 3:20pm or 4:20pm Saturday Sep 8 rather than 7:45pm.

The AFL likes to have 2 Saturday games, and a possible schedule could be as follows:

Thursday night - West Coast V Collingwood

Friday night - Richmond V Sydney

Saturday twilight - GWS V Melbourne

Saturday night - Hawthorn V Geelong

 

 

 


If we happen to play GWS at Kebab Stadium, what day will tickets go on sale for MFC members? Is it likely to be sunday night at the conclusion of the game, or more likely to be Monday 9am?

 

Edit: Pointless post. My apologies. I found the info on the AFL site site. Says Tuesday 9am

Time to put the foot down Deeby

So it's pretty much Geelong or GWS first game unless something silly happens to Collingwood or Hawks vs syd is a draw?

Would not want to be playing Freo at over there after last week. Expect them to really take it to the filth.

I would be so happy to make you happy. I think our boys would be feral if we met the Cats in a final. Defeat would just be unacceptable to them.

Surprising this year, we all wanna take on the top team. Now

hahah this is perfect - also pretty suitable for Aussie politics right now (change Goody, Bucks and Lyon to... well, take your pick)!

Thank you all for your words of encouragements.  I particularly liked your suggestion Binman about a night at the Pullman.  Yes I should have known better than to marry a hawks supporter.  But hey, can't win everything can you.  Re my kids, no way in hell would they ever wear the horrid brown & yellow.  NEVER EVER EVER.  Enough of those around my neck of the woods.  Enjoy this exciting time demonlanders.  And keep up the (mostly...) brilliant posts.  Roll on the finals!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
