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.

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.

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?


Friday night for the Melb Vs Swans game.

Cats Pies get the twilight  game sat.

We’ve got Friday night ❤️💙

 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.

Nope, he gets in as it’s the 12th day

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

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
