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.

    Evening L.H, 

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
