Slightly off-topic, but I do note the irony of the ABC which is holier-than-thou when broadcasting games so it won't give a stadium the name that has been paid for by a commercial interest (such as Marvel or Optus Stadium) yet makes sure its own brand is highly visible on a satellite dish.

    I think Jack Viney plays better after a freshen up and he’s made for finals. Fully expect him to go to another level( probably his normal finals level) tonight. Our midfield has gone improved since Gus went in there, add a bit extra grunt from a fully firing finals JV and I think tonight’s performance from our midfield will be one that lives long in the memory. 
    We really have an embarrassment of riches  there and that’s why we win tonight and go back to back. 
    Our backline isn’t too bad either.

    For those who are attending live I'm hoping you get to enjoy it as much as we did in the West last year. I have so much faith these guys will go out and get it done, they know what they have to do and I honestly believe they will.

    Be loud, from the start to the finish. Make them know the MCG is ours, just like Optus ;)

    Yes mine was on QB this year and on the QB Watts debut debacle.

    I just restocked my supply of Fisherman’s Friend. Double dose needed today since TWO matches at which to scream like a banshee. 😱 

    Our cheer squad oughta be on Fisherman’s Friend’s payroll. It’s a staple on GameDay. 😁

    More off topic,  there is a difference between the ABC promoting itself and promoting commercial organizations.  If they promote Colgate toothpaste, McCleans will feel hard done by.   When the MCG is called Facebook Stadium, I for one will be relieved that the ABC still calls it the MCG.

    If both teams play at their very very best Melbourne win. I believe we are primed to do just that today.

    We thrive on the big stage, and have timed our run into September perfectly.  
    Two or three goals up at the half, a third quarter blitz led by our mids, and then cruise control to keep them at arms length in the last.  Dees by 8 goals.

    Hope everyone back in Melbourne can get to the G tonight and experience what we all did in 2018 and those of us living in WA experienced last year 

    Enjoy all

    There's also a difference between the ABC refusing to be paid to promote a product, such as Colgate, and someone else being paid, such as the owners of the stadiums now called Marvel and Optus. If an organisation has decided to officially change the name of a stadium or an event (such as the BMW Cox Plate - or whatever name it now has), I think there's an argument that the ABC's intransigence in not using that name is wrong...and Petty. (See what I did there to keep this thread on topic?)

    Qualifying finals should be 50/50 games but this one is Melbourne's to win.

    Swans will pack our forward line and rely on the quick Z shaped play to rebound into theirs.

    We all know what the answer is and against Brisbane the first half showed that we can do it.

    Oliver is the key to the next premiership.

    There may well be but they'd be closet fans since you’re considered a little soft if you can’t handle that huge fishy slap in the face that only FF provides. 😁

    Has FTB gotten extremely drunk last night? Yes he did.

    Is FTB suffering from a morbid hangover in the office this morning? Yes he is.

    Is FTB wearing his scarf and Melbourne gear in the office? Of course he is.

    Will FTB get extremely drunk tonight? Yes he will.

    Will FTB barrack the loudest he ever has for this football club. YES HE [censored] WILL.

    Hope we have a particularly loud and feral (by Melbourne standards) fan base tonight, suspect there will be close to 55K of us tonight.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
