Recommended Posts

anyone have any idea what we might make out of this? 

 

I’d love to know because if it’s negligible than we may as well play this game in front of nobody at our home ground.
The venue we don’t need to travel to,

The venue that allows the players to sleep in their own bed.

The venue where we need to bed down our game plan in preparation  for finals.

Agreed. If we get 5000 neutral fans there and 30 club supporters, I’m sure the players would rather do it at the MCG. It’s a completely unnecessary reshuffle. 
I guess let’s see what the crowd is at the game today. I doubt it will be better next week, even if it is a public holiday.

It is beyond my comprehension why they would play at the scg instead of Adelaide. Nobody in Sydney are interested in a match betweeen Melbourne and the filth. At least in crowland you would get a few footy supporters for the game. A stupid and uneccessary lockdown and the sillly health minister in SA  are to blame for this.

The game should be at the MCG with crowds.

At first glance, the crowd at Giants stadium looks about 1,000 if you’re lucky.

A few people spread around the outer wing and the rest of the stadiums looks closed.

Look at the hoops SA is making the Pies jump through - no thanks

My brother in law (my wife’s whole family) are mad pies fans (it wasn’t on her disclosure form )

he lives in Sydney and has a weekend getaway near Goulburn where he’ll be next weekend 

asked if he’ll be going to the game at the G (he doesn’t live far from the SCG and is a man of means ) - “see how we feel”

I know the pies are detritus This year but gee a chance to go support your club and MND up the road ….

If the QB game is going to be at the SCG we need to get out there and pump the proverbial out of this. Make tickets half price or two for the price of one, send a whole bunch of leftover merchandise/members scarfs up to hand out to people (don’t care if they’re Sydney fans, get them cheering for us). 

Do whatever you can to get people through the gate. I also nominate Hamish Blake (who lives there now) to be sent down the slide and maybe throw in some NRL personalities as well. 

I’m resigned to the fact we’re going to lose out financially, let’s just make sure we make the day the best it can be.

With lockdown likely to end on Thursday night there's no reason why Melbourne supporters can't go up for the game. Current NSW policy is you have to follow Victorian rules if you go to NSW. On that basis, surely if the lockdown is over, same rules then apply in NSW from there on...

Interesting thought. If they will let Victorians in while our state won’t let us go down the road to watch a game, I would officially give up on these health professionals.

I would've preferred we pushed this game in the following week's bye round. I think there could be a real chance of thing be open enough by then and if so the club should be writing to the AFL indicating they owe us for lost revenue.

Will be bizarre if there's a mass exodus of Melbourne fans going up to Sydney for the QB match which should be at the MCG.

Then what a great atmosphere it will be.

Honestly, I don’t know what you expect of the AFL - they are reacting to news on real time and trying to make the best decisions across commercial, football and to get people to the game.

This decision lessens the potential impact on us and we get to put the club and Neale up in lights once again.

And the northern state Dees can get to another game and show us how important they are.

Correct on all counts Rpfc.

Let's make the most of it. Anywhere anytime is the mantra...

Just as an aside. the fact that less than 3% of Australia is fully vaccinated in June 2021 is nothing short of scandalous...

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
