Cheers from Cambodia.  Watching with a few converts drinking 50¢ beers. Go Dees.  Any supporters in Sihanoukville are welcome.

    I’m in two minds as to whether my son and daughter and I watch it at home or go to federation square.

    Although it would be fantastic watching it with all those supporters I hope we can get a good spot and be able to see it clearly.

    Id hate to make the journey in , only to get a poor view of the game.

    Good call, would hope there is no TV lag either. Very picky with that stuff!

    After making the trek from Adelaide for both finals so far (been amazing!) I'll be at Bernie's Hackney Hotel sinking a few quiet/nervous ales from about 1pm ?❤️?

    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.

    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...

    I can tell you that the Romsey pub is no longer operational. The pub in Gisborne was ok a few years ago.

    As to The Manor - private function.

    At home by myself - can yell & scream as much as I like, tape it and watch it again (if we win) - getting texts from daughter who is likely to be at Fed Square! Coming down and will be at the GF. Hope the Dees are there too?

    usually take a radio to the footy and tune in now and then for play highlights (after goals) or where there is controversy etc.

    Last week thought I would reduce the weight of the backpack, go high tech and listen on the phone. Didn't count on the delay of around 30 seconds where the ball would be at one end and they were still commenting on the play from the other end of the ground !!

    Went and bought a $7 mini transistor at the $2 shop for my next trip to the MCG

    tip. i bought a portable inexpensive DAB+ radio. it works great inside the mcg and on the train, where the typical am/fm radio wouldn't. highly recommend - all the footy stations also broadcast in digital (dab+)

    Haha we've all been there! Only to get the rude surprise of the delay. I quite often like listening to the radio coverage at games if I'm there by myself. The trade-off is having bursting pockets consisting of wallet, phone and some clunky transistor unit.

    Really need a smaller solution, might try and get to a $2 shop before heading to Fed Square tomorrow!

    Are you wearing a skirt for the Grand Final if we make it?

    Mornington Peninsula — has the polo season started?

    Trip Gill off his pony, will you please.

    And no doubt nothing noted at the MCG gates by the “metal detectors”.

    Idoubt if they have batteries in them .... maybe they are mock ups from the $2 shop too?

    Watching on from Cocos pub in Rembrandt Square, Amsterdam with Skuit. I just witnessed a Richmond supporter go feral there and swear constantly at anyone near him in the 2nd half. Classy effort. (They really are everywhere).

    No idea yet. I could watch at home by myself or go into Fed Square. I genuinely haven't made up my mind but I'm becoming more anxious as the match draws closer...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
