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 

One would think they would put one of the interstate games on Saturday night, especially as Freo and Bulldogs will be playing on Father's Day.

Sucks for the Dogs. Hope Freo smash them.

Oh, thanks.  I misread the table 🤔

Bizarre that there is no game on Saturday night!!

Advantages to whoever loses out of Cat and Woods, as they go up against a team with one day less days and coming from the West. (Addit: same amount of recovery days, reacted to LH's error.)

Whereas if we or Sydney lose, we or they get a team coming of a day extra, although from the north.

Anyone know what the go is for MCC? They have created the event, but no info on when and how to buy visitor tickets or reserved seats.

The winner of Melbourne vs Swans is gifted a dream run to the GF.

On the flip side, the loser faces the tough draw to the GF, having to play one of Geelong or Collingwood to get there.

QF is actually a must win. 

But if we win we will likely play Pies and the Cats in the GF so I guess we need to beat them either way 

but I get it’s the easier way to the GF


AFL site says club members 10am Tuesday IMG_20220821_220610.thumb.jpg.49b8be6e61ccb4eb71959b16ee9ad875.jpg

Was hoping Freo would get Geelong, then Collingwood, Richmond and Sydney were all in the same grouping, after we win the QF

Then we would've had most likely:  Fremantle, Brisbane or Carlton in a prelim  lol

The dream result would have been for Collingwood and Carlton to draw.

Would have meant Geelong v Fremantle, Collingwood v Carlton and Brisbane v Richmond were the other games.

Which in turn would have meant that the winner of Melb v Sydney would have gone into a prelim to play the loser of Geelong v Fremantle or the winner of Collingwood v Carlton.

Edit: none of the above is true. Collingwood losing would have been better.

Rapt to get the prime slot! Can’t bloody wait. I missed finals last year obviously and missed finals in 2018 due to work travel so I can’t remember the last final I attended!!

BACK TO BACK IS ON!!

Why would that be preferable to a Loser of Geelong v Fremantle and winner of 5v8 Brisbane v Carlton playing us in a prelim?

Kids b&f on The Friday night. Spewing. 

I’m sure your kids would prefer to be at the G watching a final? Start early convincing them 🙂

You're right. I have no idea what I was thinking. Collingwood losing would have put Brisbane 5th.

Hopefully it’s a bit like the 1987 game -blew them away 

Personally I think they are real threat to us they seem to match up well and their backs are pretty underrated

We need to bring our best and I hope it’s a very very pro MFC crowd just like it was in ‘87 

If I remember correctly it was T Viney that kicked the first game that day to get us going - maybe J Viney this time 

87 v Swans was awesome. Great experience. The week before v North the crowd was even more primal.

 

This weekend could not have gone any better for us. Our best is THE best. Again.

 

So this finals structure is like a Dan Brown novel according to the ‘efforts’ in their thread.

Lock it down, people! You’re embarrassing yourselves…

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.

Just had a look on Ticketek. 
It said club members can purchase up to 10 tickets. (I thought is this right?….) I then looked at the Cats v Pies game and club members can only purchase 1 ticket. Obviously both Victorian clubs with large supporter bases.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?
