I can't believe it. Got my tickets and pumped for this game.

Then just realized I have a family commitment that can't be changed at exactly the same time as the game starts.

So won't even be able to watch the game live.

So have to reframe the day and console myself with the inaugural:

Binman Super Saturday Sporting extravaganza!!!! 

The day will involve:

  • A lead in on the Friday night, watching a bit of footy, watching the  Moonee Valley races, featuring the Group 1 William Reid Stakes and doing my form for the following day, which includes the Golden Slipper - always a great race to watch
  • Saturday morning, finalising my selections and then watching the early races 
  • Complete media and all external communication blackout from 1:41pm (i'll listen to the build up) - note: of course i'll also avoid Demonland but i don't need to read it to know what will be in the game day thread
  • Family commitment
  • Watch the dees game 'as live' from about 4:30 
  • Celebrating a win
  • Then from 6:45 watching the dees women's team also beat Freo, but this in real time - and secure a finals berth
  • Counting my money from the races
  • Watching the replay of the dees men's team win against Freo

One part of that statement is telling, we’re the 6th oldest and 6th most experienced. It’s time those we considered “kids” not long ago stepped up to being men and put their talent to use. 

Damn, we cant even use the youth excuse anymore.

Does anyone know if you can stand on the lower level at the G, or must you be in a seat? I haven’t sat for a game in a looong Time maybe 15 years

Not sure about the answer to your question but initial reports stated we weren’t even allowed to stand up celebrating a goal, thank god that’s been put to bed now.

Have heard snippets here and there.

Defensive zoning will be a big thing Adem is pushing. We'll run forward hard and fast, but players behind the ball will be left in no uncertain terms about where they should be positioning themselves to try and prevent the opposition rebounding we're so used to seeing.

Gawny will be forward a fair bit. Not sure if that will change once Weid and/or Brown are back, but it's absolutely part of the strategy. Other talls, namely Jackson and TMac will be tasked with getting higher up the ground to make that work.

We may also see a bit of a surprise on the wing... I'd give a clue, but then you might pick it. ;)

 

A player that is a lock for debut for mine is James Jordan.  Every interview with anyone at the club signals him out as a standout in the preseason - not sure what else he can do to get a gig.  Especially with Viney out of the team.  Would be surprised if he's the winger but he might be part of the rotations?

There are small areas for standing room on level one, ground floor scattered around the ground. I think there is room for about 5,000 standing room patrons. However I’m not sure in this environment what rules will apply. Probably a phone call to the ground would be your best bet.

My main concern, however, is bar access 

Does anyone know the deal for getting booze?

Don't risk it.  You'll only miss seeeing one of Luke Jacksons 6 goals for the game.  Unless you go at half time .

All but confirmed that Jordon will debut, that's not who I was talking about though.

Maybe my clue was too subtle Koz some people seem to have missed it...

how much more time can a 4th year player have at the second level, just gotta cut losses and move on.

I love these sort of comments. What, we should cut him today? That's it, no more possibility you will play for the red and blue again?

He is contracted so how about you see what he produces this year before making ridiculous comments.

Sweet Jesus. Basically the old Sub is back. 

why not just make it 5 on the bench?

You can bet your last $ Bing that if we lose the media and us long suffering supporters will get stuck into the players and Goody. Then if we win the media will say we beat a depleted team. We do not win any which way which is the norm with us until we get some consistent performances in.

Don't care a W is a W

Melbourne would still find a way to lose that.

according to afl site, pickett will definitely play, as will may, salem, brayshaw, and oliver - no mention of hibberd which i guess puts jetta back in the starting side frame, and the general 'vibe' seems to be that jordon will debut...

B: Jetta - May - Lever
HB: Hunt - Tomlinson - Rivers
C: Langdon - Petracca - Salem
HF: Jones - McDonald - Neal-Bullen
F: Fritsch - Jackson - Pickett
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
