I wanted to get a general idea where people would be watching the game.

 

It may also help with people to choose where they go to watch.

    Home - just me and the dog, with my phone turned off. Has worked well the last 2 weeks. Relaxed again so no histrionics. Keeps the wife happy when I don't yell, thump the coffee table, break things. Dog doesn't like it much either.

    I will be going with friends to the MCC to watch the game. Great atmosphere at the bar area, and will enjoy it even more at “our ground”

    With family who have stuck by thick and thin.

    when you are passionate Melbourne and have copped grief for a decade wherever you go because you are Melbourne now is your time.

    I will be watching with loved ones who have suffered through a decade of misery. Have been laughed at for wearing their Melbourne jumper to school / work to raise money for charity on wear your footy jumper day.

    Lets paint this town red and blue.

    Trying to find a pub with good atmosphere in the Macedon Ranges area.

    I have 2 kids under 3 and want no distractions (besides buying beer) during the game.

    I find it hard at home with the kids as they freak out when I get angry. if we're up by 50 at half time I might watch the second half at home

    In hospital at the moment but intend to be discharged in time. I'm liking the idea of the MCC but really depends on the amount  of drugs still in my system.  Failing that -home.

    At work, with all the TV's turned to a different station so i dont get too distracted. Will probably just take sneaky peaks at the score online between buzzers. At least im near a defib and trained staff if i need one

    Already rostered on for GF day, but one of the girls has offered to work that day for me if we make it. 

    Fingers crossed.

    Home on the couch.

    Wife had already booked tickets to a High Tea at Floriade. Win-win really, this gets me out of that (no offence to high tea which I am sure will be delightful) and also empties the house for some ultra-profane barracking!

    Booooooooo-[censored]-boooooooo!!

    After being at the G for the last 2 games, i'll be watching from home.

    Plenty of cold beer and a comfy chair.

    However, I have been relegated to the back room on the smaller TV. Probably not a bad suggestion by the Mrs.

    A few months back I arranged some kegs and a lamb on the spit at home this weekend for my birthday, the thought of the dees in a Prelim hadn't entered my wildest dreams at this stage.  The missus didn't like the sound of it so decided to take the kids up the East Coast for the weekend. Home alone!  As the stars slowly aligned for the Prelim featuring the Demons to kick off just as the kegs were tapped, and the lamb to be ready at half time, the only negative thing is that now I might actually be expected to talk to people instead of my usual intense focus on the game.

    But at least I won't have someone telling me 'it's just a game' when I blow a gasket or two.

    At home with Dad, since we just couldn't justify spending the money to go to Perth.

    At least at home I can swear and yell and carry on like an idiot without judgement.

    My local team - Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Footy League - are in the Grand Final this Saturday, and am really pumped. I am also really annoyed that it clashes with the Dees in the West. One eye on the footy and the other on AFL live app right through the afternoon. Going to be a VERY tense afternoon. 

    Actually reminds me of another amazing moment in 1987. Maldon in the Grand Final at Princes Park in Maryborough. A policeman was the only person with a radio, and about 80 people crowded around him as we heard that Jimmy had run across the mark in the Preliminary Final against the Hawks.

    Carna Dees!

    Go the mighty Borough!

    After the siren it was Optus Stadium.

    Up until about 10 minutes ago it was Fed Square.

    Mate who I go to nearly all games with can't go now.

    Uncle @Bitter but optimistic should be able to hook you up with one of the fine drinking establishments in the Macedon region?  Heck, you might even get an invite to the Manor if you ask nicely...

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
