Any thoughts / recommendations on taking a 2 year old?

Not expecting to watch much of the game, might only last 20 minutes in our seat but taking the opportunity to jump on the train and get out of the house for an adventure. Got a decent seat on Level 2 as well.

I have taken my kids on my own since they were tiny babies.  The MCG staff & fellow Melbourne supporters are usually very helpful & nice to parents with kids.  If all turns sour, leave early.  Fingers crossed the rest of us Dees supporters don't have a reason to follow you if you do need to make an early exit..........

 

Wouldn't it be wonderful if in five weeks time we are wondering how we can possibly fit Weid and B Brown into the team.

Stay asleep DJ, the real world is a pain in the rear.

 

Gosh it feels strange getting ready to head to the G today, we are allowed back and it feels great. 

What a cracking day and I just hope we win. That's all that can happen today and no injuries. 

I am on my way to the MCG. It is great to be going to the footy again. CARN THE DEMONS.


On my way to the G. Feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. Can’t wait for the moment the boys run out and the song plays. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get 30k there today. It’s a perfect day for footy

Got a table booked in front of one of the big monitors at "Sporties" Bar in Launceston. Hope some other tragic supporters might be there as well. Did the Boags Brewery tour on Thursday and met a couple of Dee's people from Ararat. Small world.

You know my favorite thing about round one? The montage, nothing better than a good footy montage. I wish I had montage guy's voice I'd voice over my whole life.

 

 

So glad Luke Jackson is back, I reckon wed have made the finals last year if we didn't lose him to that hammy, hes a nightmare matchup for our opponents and doesnt need to get the footy to have a big impact, a bit like Nic Nat.

3AW putting the boot into us pre-match

Lots of “soft culture” cheap shots? Or actually some thoughtful analysis?

Great to see Junior back to present JJ with his jumper.

Goos to see former Melbourne great James McDonald in the changeroom doing the jumper presentation alongside James Jordons mum Prue.

A special presentation for our debutant, receiving his jumper from James McDonald.

And Gerard Whateley still sooking it up as to why we didn’t volunteer to play at Marvel to allow Essendon to play here tonight.

Let it go Gerard.

Surely you are not surprised DJ after all we deserve it.

Basically that we have gone nowhere over the last 3 years and that our coaching team is now almost dysfunctional with Yze and Williams in the wing. Bartlett wasn't spared either. Inability to sign Oliver etc

Nothing that most of us haven't been saying for a year or two... bottom line Goodwin disappoints

Clearly not everyone is in agreement with the side selected, really looking for similar intensity and pressure to that of the first two games. Anything less is unacceptable.

Just saw Charlie Spargo at the jumper presentation. Ive not been his biggest fan but there is no doubting Charlie prepares and delivers 100% of all he has got within himself. You could see the intensity on his face. Go well kid.

I still can’t work out why they didn’t change our game to a 1.10pm start and play the other game here this evening? Would have allowed plenty of time in between to quick clean/prep

Big honour to receive your jumper from Junior. Play well Jimmy J.

  • 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.
