Hurry Up GIF

 

My life is on hold.... come on AFL!!!!! 

I bet the delay is to be able to get Papley up for our game. 

I reckon they’ve done a last minute swap with our game and the Cats V Pies,  hence the delay, to allow Papley out of protocols.

Our game from Thursday night to Friday night.

Just a theory.

    Meanwhile the NRL are considering releasing their finals fixture even with two more home and away rounds left….just to get one up on the AFL 

    😅😂🤣

    So we know we don't leave the G.

    We know that we play Sydney first up.

    You'd imagine we'll play Richmond if we lose, as I reckon Brisbane are cooked.

    And if we win, you'd expect us to get Collingwood (although would love it to be Fremantle - would mean they've either knocked out Collingwood or Geelong!).

    We should have a first week fixture by now. There were plenty of permutations for the match ups but they could have been worked through before the round finished, surely.

    What makes you think this, l want to miss the Pies, with their incredible supporter base, amazing ability to never be out of the game & and their recent winning history against us

    As per my post above.  I forgot to mention that despite their only way to stay in games is the risky transition from d50, which relies on great foot skills, they are ranked #18 for kicking efficiency.  Feel free to bump these posts if they win a final.

    If I’m a Redleg member, when I purchase tickets on Tuesday am I sitting in the same area?

    Thanks

    Ditto. Exactly the same for me (I actually teared up a little!) It hurt big time.

    I’m in the same boat as you Kev…remember the hawks game vividly….the swans game = recall zero

    Last year was a good exorcism of the 1987 Hawthorn game and the curse.

    Looking forward to this finals series as I get to attend.

    Will never take a series or even a finals game for granted.

    C'mon Goody, his team and our players, get us up for a go at Back to Back.

    Exciting times for the MFC.

    I have a meeting at 10:30 so I’ll be mighty [censored] if Ticketek goes down.

    No.  We chose our seats on the Ticketek website when purchasing the tickets. 

    Hopefully, the system allows us to choose our seats rather than the computer 'allocate' seats and then have to try and change them on the website.

    My tip is to check check all the info on Ticketek in advance of the tickets going on sale.  And have the membership barcodes which the club sends (hopefully tomorrow) ready.

    Why is it taking so long has Carlton got an appeal in or something.

    We would normally know by 6:30 Sunday night.

    Will the MFC also send out the $5 raffle arrangements for Grand final tickets on the chance we get there?

    Cats Pies get the twilight  game sat.

     No matter what day or time we end up playing it is just so important that everyone that can,  actually turn up and support our boys.  

    They have fulfilled their end of the bargain, we must fulfil  ours.  We have over 60k members and plenty more supporters. No excuses.


    We must outnumber the opposition and be bloody loud and ensure it is a very hostile environment for opposition supporters and players alike.  

    We’ll be there. Bells on. And scarves and beanies and everything.

    We are on Friday… Papley??

    Papley can’t play right? 12 days is Friday if you count from tomorrow. Or does the count start tonight? 
    Bloody well helps if he’s out.

    Bizarre that there is no game on Saturday night!!

    Edit:  changed the day for the Freo vs Bulldogs game from Sunday to Saturday.

    Far out we got the best results possible this weekend bar the Collingwood win.

    I just realised that, had Pies and Blues draw, they would have to play an elimination final against each other. What about that scenario?!

    Parley will be good to go if he passes protocols (according to Syd supporters)

    But it clashes with our women’ match. 🙄

    I’m kind of glad we’re not playing Thursday. I would hate to lose on my birthday.

    Probably because they are taking into account that Geelong get no real benefit of finishing first (no home final) so they are making it easier to get up and back the highway for their supporters

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
