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 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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
