There isn't a supporter base that I despise more. As dirty as I feel saying this, if we lose this week, I really hope that Hawthorn go over there and knock them off. 

Could technically fly in, fly out to save on accommodation costs...

Thanks to the Melbournefc Insta account!

It is like a cheesy Wiggles photo. I love it too!


Have to say the winner of Collingwood v GWS has been screwed over, having a 6 day break over a team with a 2 week break is a massive disadvantage. AFL clueless again.

I think the winner of our game having a 8 day break isn't necessarily and bad thing, still have 7 days until he GF.

Yeah an 8 day break is probably perfect. I think having the comp wide bye and then another bye is actually a slight disadvantage.

We have definitely fallen on the better side of the draw. Hopefully we can make use of it!

Absolutely.  If they win they can be back at Tullamarine by Midnigh AEST.  Thus sleeping in their own beds.

For once a good call under the circumstances by the AFL.

Could easily apply to the Poos and Wees too.

Absolutely. Eddie let loose over it on the MMM interview before Roosy and Jones were in. As much fun as it is watching/listening to Ed explode, he was spot on.

Auld did not handle it well. I mean he did, but he didn't.

I just hope there is less glare compared to when we played them over there last time (for either Hawthorn or Melbourne).

It’s exactly the same start one as our round 22 win at Optus. 

If you can recall, the team got royally screwed over and the plane was delayed by over 3 hours coming home that Sunday night.  

 

i won't tell a lie. This line from Sam McClure's (who cannot stand for some reason) article on the  prelim timing gave me a bit of a pause:

The AFL is set to fixture its first afternoon preliminary final in seven years to ensure either Melbourne or Hawthorn can return home on Saturday night and have as much time as possible to prepare for the grand final, should they beat the Eagles.

Yikes.

Why not stay the night and fly the next morning. After the win I slept soundly in my hotel bed and was refreshed for the flight home the next morning. Mind you I didn't play and didn't need to train or back it up the next week.

It’s a good question... I travel a lot for work and struggle to be fully rested when staying an extra night versus getting home late and hopping into my own bed.

I guess it’s done to last minute nowadays. 

Does anybody know a way to get a ticket to the prelim IF we do make it?

My situation is that I am an MCC member, and pay the extra $90 for the MFC membership on top - which includes no game day access, so I assume I won't have access to any finals tickets IF we make it.

that will entitle you to participate in the club allocation. Presumably there are certain categories that are guaranteed tickets and then it goes to all club members such as yourself. I am in the same position as an AFL member with club support.

I have no idea what the club allocation is but I could not imagine it being less than 10k. Now realistically how many members will go to Perth. I think it will be the travel difficulties that knock out most of us.

Of course you have to pay for the match ticket but given airfares north of $1k it's not the ticket costs that will hurt.

You expect to get out of there alive?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
