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: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
