    Don’t forget y’all…

    If you’re in Fed. Square this morning, pop over to the Demon Army’s sausage sizzle!

    A snag or five before you walk to the ‘G will warm you up on the inside AND provide more $$$ for FightMND. 

    Or even just come to say hello! I’ll be the jumpy one who’s running purely on coffee and Red Bull (lots of). 😃

    GO DEES!!!

    32 point win coming up.

     

    On paper we are the better team. No question

    We've got the blowtorch treatment all week. It will focus our minds i reckon

    The pies are in decent form themselves. This will not be a pushover

    I expect a response from our boys. Big performance coming up

    Dees by 25 points

    Hoping we turn things around today but fear we're in more trouble than we're ready to accept.

    Last year,  this year, we are a good footy team.

    all pleased when a player makes a debut.

    Good teams respond, as we will.

    It will be a very interesting game. Not easy.

    12 points either way Go Dees

    It's never a pleasant experience being the away side at the G against this mob. Actually considered watching this one on the box for all of 5 minutes. Does anyone know where the general admission areas will be down at the Punt Road end of the ground today as I want to have as few of these soap dodgers around me as possible?

    I was going to go to this game, only to find out the carpark is shut except for permit and disability. Not going to bother driving the 1.5-2hours and then try to find street parking somewhere. And the train is more expensive than driving for me. What’s the thinking having the ground closed for a game like this?

    This just happened:

    So I’m sitting on the steps of a disused building in Flinders Street coz no benches, having one last coffee before sausage duties. A guy walks past, I smile and nod coz me. He comes back and tries to give me a $10 note. Dude thought I was homeless!!! Of course I refused the money and tried to convince him that I am not a beggar. Two cops happened to walk by and heard us. One of the cops says, “nah mate, she’s definitely not doing it tough, have a look, she’s a Melbourne supporter.”🤣

    Various car parks around the city have on-line pre-booked car parking.

    For street parking best bet is the area east of Church street and walk 20 minutes.

    Surely you could park at Cranbourne and catch the metro train if the Bairnsdale line is too expensive. As for why Yarra Park is closed. Pretty simple - you could park there but you'd need a tractor to pull you out at the end of the game. You'd be catching the train home anyway.

    Wet weather results in park surface being cut up. This has been the policy for 10-15 years. Cannot say I disagree with it. Seems logical to me.

    From my experience you will end up in the third deck. Players look like ants. The alternative? Be surrounded by pies.

    Fed Sq car park is usually $15 for the day and that's where the 'Walk to the G' starts from, including a Dee Army BBQ etc. If you sway on your decision, that would be my plan.

    If our boys are serious we win this game 

    Brisbane, Fremantle and Carlscum all winning makes this even more important 

    Another loss to a team that is not a real contender would be a concern particularly with our relatively tough home stretch

    General Admission Areas:


    Shane Warne Stand
        •    Q1-Q6

    Ponsford Stand
        •    Q31-Q36 (rows AA-MM)

    Olympic Stand
        •    General Admission seating not available

    it only costs $3 more to upgrade to a reserved seat on level 4. GA areas are sold out so you’d have to get there very early if you want to get in.

    Joining the the early birds this dry season morning. But we're not giving an ornithologist's cuss about the magpie resurgence.

    Time for a serious cull Demons.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
