The vast majority of Dee's fans live in Melbourne and it is hard to reconcile that we won't see Melbouurne awash with Red and Blue as we make our way to the game.  No bbq's with family and mates. No pubs open to scream and holler with fellow supporters. No dancing in the streets if we take home the silverware. It feels a little hollow.

What will you do in this strange year as part of the build up to the big dance?

For regional Vic's like myself or interstaters, are there any venues who will be holding events for those of us who are luckily enough not to be in lockdown ?

 

I will go to the footy and barrack!  

Break the curfew?

I think I might watch a bit of it🙃

Depending on weather - drive to The Pass and either surf or if unfavourable waves take a ride into the Byron hinterland, coffee at Bayleaf.

Scarf hanging out in the car window in the traditional manner. Streamers and balloons on our fence.

Crack a bottle of Bowen Estate or Henschke at half time depending on progress.

Next morning either an angry ride for a loss or happy ride for win.


I’ll play it by ear but here’s the most likely way it plays out:

 

I’ll attempt to drink myself into oblivion on the Friday night in hopes of waking up at 2:30pm on Saturday and most of the waiting behind me. Upon waking up I’ll probably heave, then amble around the block a few times on a run powered entirely by nervous energy. 
Then it will be a shower and back to the bar fridge for the next 4 hours.

Is anyone sneakily going to go to a family members or freinds house to watch it?

If we're going to do that, we may as well have the GF at the MCG.

The rules are there for a reason (even though more than a few don't follow them)

 

Yeah I see your point, to be honest we can go to a public place with 1000's of people to get vaccinated but going to a freind shouse to watch a game of football is out of the question, seems mad

of course we are!!


I will be a nervous wreck from the moment I wake until the outcome is incontrovertible.

I agree it's mad and would've been nice to watch the game with mates.

But we can't so I won't.

 

I might try and brew that day, it will take up a lot of the day and keep me busy. If not I’ll look at ways to be put into a controlled sleep until kick off.

I'll be going hopefully if a fellow dee is feeling generous ,I have my membership but I'm just trying to find one more priority 2 barcode if a fellow dee is able to so I can take my partner, the more dees there the better,

The opposition leader suggested bringing in a family bubble for GF day. I think that’s a great idea, let’s  see if Dan allows it. Either way, rules will be broken that day.

In NSW you can get between $300 - $800 for lagging on someone.

Be glad that my anxiety every game day will be given a rest. Win or lose. 

You are not alone. The life of a MFC supporters is tough even when we are winning, finished top of the ladder and cruised into a GF.


I’m going to try and get some Valium or something from my doctor friends. I really think I’ll drop dead if it’s a close game. 

Is this another bl…. Night game? I doubt I can make it through that day.

And so say 20000 of us jaded.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
