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.”🤣

Same thing happened to me early one morning in hampton on way to work awhile back.Bloke offers to buy me a cup of coffee which i declined then he came back and offered to buy breakfast.First i was insulted then realised what a kind person he was.I do look a bit ordinary in grubby gardening gear.It made my day thinking how kind people can still be

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

    We lost this game last year and went on to win the flag so hang loose today is not the end of the world either way.

    We are constantly shown stories of all the AS in the world thankfully there are a lot of good people.

    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.

    Wow. Slim pickings by the look. I've never fancied the Ponsford Stand at the best of times so Q1-6 at the Punt Road end it is I guess. Thanks Beardy!

    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!!!

    Health prevents me from going to the game but have enough zip to do hour round trip to grab a snag and tip in a few bob for MND,then back home to watch a great win

    C’mon Dees. Let’s put the crap of last week behind us by doing what we do best, and thumping the Magpies.

    Expect us to win and win easy but this team is looking for the bye round. Lot of players need a rest.

    I’m probably being dramatic and probably still have trauma from previous years of going for the dees but if we don’t show any case of hunger or looked absolutely pumped for this big clash then I feel like we may not get it back this year. 
    after the last few weeks of losing, the may and melks and then the scandal’ if it can’t drive the players to go ‘stuff this, let’s show the comp we are the best l team’ then I don’t know what will bring it back. 
     

    but anyway go dees! Haha

    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? 

    They shut the car park now for any game expected to have a crowd bigger than 70k. It was closed against the Dogs and Tigers earlier this year too.

    They did this after that psycho drove down Bourke St a few years back to protect large crowds from a similar incident at the footy 🙄

    We are only winning this if our forward line connection and efficiency is there, kicking accurately will help (as it did for Casey).


    I hope Petty is good to go because that backline looks like it could leak a lot under pressure.

    I was on the flip side ie being asked for money. 

    In March I was in the city and instead of giving money I suggested I buy the person the food they wanted - we were outside the Macro store in Flinders St.  She took up the offer buying biscuits, drinks and lollies.  My good Samaritan deed was rewarded the next day when I saw Gus and his partner Danielle having coffee in Desgrave St.  I broke all my rules about not approaching well known people but couldn't resist congratulating Gus for the team's great win the previous night; the night we unfurled our flag.

    Then last Sunday, walking into the Hampton St supermarket a girl asked me for $5 to buy food.  Again I invited her into the store to choose what she wanted and I would pay for it.  She exceeded the $5 by a fair margin but I let it go.  Of course I expect nothing in return but it would be nice if the karma fairy brought us a demon win today.:cool:

    Would accept a one point win would love a 10 goal win. Buckley as a coach had the wood on Goody, hopefully new coach sees A better result for Demons.

    Be great to see one of our Browns or Spargo/Kozzie kick 3 or 4!

    Go Demons!!

    unbelievably, we are less experienced and over a year, on average, younger than the filth today

    i think the filth are pretty underrated; any side with pendlebury is still more than capable

    thar said, if we actually manage to bring effort for four full quarters we SHOULD win

    Went to this game at the scg last year.

    No big freeze.

    No atmosphere. 

    Hopefully this will be different.

    Watched poor Weid struggle and take only one mark.

    We came back hard but alas it didn't feel Ike a Qbday round at the scg.

    Will we soon be having a kings Bday round?

    Not wishing any sickness on HRH.

    Just wondering.

    As for Melksham being gifted a 200 game I thought he played poorly and then followed up a bad week.

    He used to be very good but I think his days are over.

    Without May....bbb in a massive slump and no tmac this won't be a cake walk.

    Trac seems out of form too.

    Mfcss back again.

    It's a shame I got used to feeling arrogant about winning.

    Anyone know what time the Big Freeze slide starts and are they televising it again this year?


    Obviously a huge game. We need to galvanise and beat what is a genuinely threatening Collingwood side.

    Looking like it's going to be a great crowd... just hoping it's not a sea of black and white.

    Sliders start sliding at ~2pm

    Not sure about TV, but coverage starts at 2pm, so probably?

     

    MFCSS is running riot this morning. Is this the game that defines our season ?

    In my younger days I used to go through Cranny to do a bit surfing down at the Island and think, what a [censored] hole,  who the hell would want to live there.  Years later,  that is where I live!  When I went down to the shops I used to say to my wife, look at all the ferals, they must all barrack for Collingwood. My wife put me nicely back in my place saying ‘you look no different to them’!🫣 That took the wind out of my sails.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
