Grand Final Day - What will you do?

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 ?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
