    I’ll be having the Qantas app open and my finger hovering over the ‘book flight’ button the whole match.

    Call the handbrake to apologise to her that I’ll be home late and best you sleep in the spare room.

    ......... richer in every way, except of course for our bank balance, which will be considerably 'lighter' after forking out several grand for GF tickets, airfares to and from Melbourne, and accommodation for the week so we can attend training, the GF Parade and the after-party.  Who cares about money when there are far more important considerations?

    Feel some redemption for the tears I had as a 12 year old watching from home as the demons got smashed at the WACA back in the ‘94 prelim. My first demon premiership dream as a kid in tatters, we were riding a similar wave back then and a team with talent to boot, but came up against a juggernaut with players that looked unnaturally stronger and bigger then ours, over in the bright WA sunshine, with all their supporters wearing those disgusting fake blue and yellow scarfs, their stupid early 90s Eagles baseball caps and bolle sunglasses and their coach , can’t recall his name, and arrogant looking man with a silver bushy moustache .

    Since then I’ve always hated West Coast

    Come on people, you would go nuts! We are against the odds here ... WCE are primed to beat us, if we happen to win it will be MASSIVE. More then massive infact.

    We would be into a f'ing GRAND FINAL! After the last 18 years how sweet this victory would be.

    I would cry like a baby.

    2015 my First son Jack was a still born, heading to the footy and watching the boys was my escape. Watching the boys improve year on year since 2016 has been amazing to watch and to see Co Captain Jack come back from injury and dominate brings a tear to my eyes.

    Sorry to hear Philthy.

    I think I’ll be a bit in between of beyond happiness joy and tears. The old man was a mad Dees man, our last game together was the 2000 grand final before cancer got him in Jan 01. 

    He’s been top of my thoughts the last 4 weeks in particular.

    Had a still born in 2007, luckily she was a twin so my boy Rocco is healthy, so joy and sadness, a bit like this Saturday going to be.

    We were fortunate enough to have another boy November last year, can't wait to watch the game with Oliver even if he doesn't have much of an idea what's going on!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
