I reckon the Bullies will be yapping at our heels for maybe a half and a bit, but then we’ll show them who’s boss, with our rucks and mids leading the way. It won’t be shellacking like the Grannie, but enough to show them, and any other wannabe contenders, that we won’t be going away any time soon.  Dees by around 7 goals.

    The AFL want a record this weekend, guess what no general parking at the G all weekend. Only parking for the toffs and disabled.

    Think Gil needs to tell his vision to the  MCG hob nobs.

    will foodisgrey be wearing their white away strip?

    They probs hope not. White is not the ideal colour to wear when there’s a high probability that one may be sh***ting oneself tonight.

    Yes I’ll be there. And I’ll cheer extra loud for you since you won’t be there. ❤️💙

    Yeah he was rambling on about how he wont tell his players to bash up ours but it they wanted to its up to them....what the hell concentrate on playing footy would be the general advice!

    In contrast, Clayton and Josh Dunkley together on the news last night handled the issue professionally and with humour.  Non story and well spoken Clarry. Dunkley too.  Take a look Bevo.

    If the bulldogs come out all aggro they will most likely crash and bash into Max ala Port a few years ago, then try to smash Oliver and maybe Salem.  They have little chance of belting Petracca, most players can't even pull off a tackle.  Even Fritsch might get a serve. 

    Not sure who their really aggro players are, maybe Libba, Hunter and Martin.  Our players will be ready. 

    I just hope the umpires don't go easy on the bulldogs throwing, ducking and flicking and have got over making an example of us with the new 50m rules. 

    Can't find who the umpires are.  Hope it isn't the guy who felt slighted by Tomlinson and paid a 50.  Gavine, I think.

    Dogs don’t have players capable of “bashing” anyone. Compared to us they are about as physical as Olivia Newton-John’s film clip. 

    When the siren sounds to start the match, we go back to 0-0.  All bets are off.  Cant walk around like we are still ‘the premiers’.  Gotta put it all behind us and switch to beast mode.

    Nope - umpires are Howorth, Findlay and Mollison.

    Right. That's work finished for the day. Now to make my way to The Tippler for 5pm opening. Let's hope they have a good range of beers on tap for the new season or it'll be straight onto the espresso martinis. Enjoy the night everyone!

    The paper reckons 60k. Surely there will be 60k Melbourne supporters alone and we're looking at 80k

    It's a shame that it's a school night. It's keeping away my nephews and because they're young their parents too. That's 5 less than it would have been perhaps on a Friday night or Saturday day.

    There's probably a bit of that combined with the other end of the age spectrum - late night, having to navigate this whole ticketing system

    Wrong priorities. School is not as important as football.

    I've seen this posted here, but just seeking clarification...Is the carpark completely closed for General Public parking? I have consulted the MCC site, which is vague at best.

     

    If this is the case, what a complete disgrace. It is a Wednesday night. People want to get home early. Why on earth would you close the car park?  No doubt the metres will be patrolled all over Jolimont. I have an elderly father, he isn't disabled, but relies on driving in. There will be no parks within 2km. He will struggle to walk and why would you want people crammed on public transport. Complete balls up

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
