Taking my 4 year old to his first game of the year. We have country memberships. Anyone know if we just scan at the gate or do we need to nominate the game somehow and get a ticket in another way? Just unsure how the five games are counted. 

Your country membership will scan you into the general admission areas.

    Gameday Prediction(s):

    - Hunt will kick four majors.

    - Jeremy Cameron will be reported.

    - Toby Greene will kick five majors. 

    - Hore will take seven intercept marks. 

    As long as Hunt kicks the first of the game I’ll be happy at the end of the day ?

     

    The suns have shown what’s possible with a no name list, they’ve pushed some good sides up until 3/4 time. I had us getting flogged last week, but not only did we come to play, we played with purpose. Giants have some skilful players but so do we. What’s annoying me the most is that this year the flag is there for the taking, and we waited until round 9 to have a serious crack.

    With both SA clubs losing this weekend this game has become that much more important... A win here and we are just a single game behind 7th and 8th spot. 

    Yes one game behind the records of 7th and 8th but given our %, we would effectively be two games off a top 8 spot. Lose today and we are still three games off.

    Our poor percentage is basically worth another game. Teams would be licking their lips to play us, because even if they lose against us they don't stand to lose much percentage given we barely score and don't win by much.

    I fully expect to know within the first 5 minutes if we are in this. We are well under the odds after last weeks great effort. If we were favorites Id say we won't win. But strangely enough because we arent, we are a very good chance.

    I have gone for Melbourne to be in front at the end of each quarter. ($4)

    cant see us getting beat today       we match up very well                   on every line and they have to beat us

    Love the optimism. 

    Let me temper that. 

    We will be obliterated today. 

    By the side that managed 38 points against the Hawks

    Just completed a very pleasant spa and steam at the RACV club ( of which I am surprisingly still a member, given Biffen’s past drunken efforts to get me banned)

    Anyway I am feeling almost positive and predict a close win- alternatively we will get flogged!

    Salem out hurts...

    BIG time!

    So that's no Lever, May, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd.

    Ridiculous.

    And Melksham, Hannan, AVB ... Probably one or 2 others as well.

    Christ, just saw. Spargo comes in? Don’t know what to make of that.

    Spargo has done absolute nothing at VFL and now he gets a recall. What the??. We are in trouble. Just hope he can actually do something today. Bit more than his normal 30 odd SC points.

    To put it kindly a bizarre selection in Spargo. Back in on the back of 2 weeks out on top of a poor VFL game.

    Goody still feeling under the weather or what!??

    Really not good news for Salem who has a history of concussions.

    I didn’t think he did?

    Thyroid yes but can’t recall him having too many concussions.

    & it's a real shame because it looks as though our system has finally got going (some what)... but there's always a tipping point when it comes to injuries & today's late out may prove to be just that.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
