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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
