    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...

     

    One week at a time!

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
