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.

    To sleep..perchance to dream

    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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
