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 ;)

Hope you had a good birthday regardless Jaded. As someone who's birthday usually falls on QB it can be dangerous hoping for a result for birthday happiness. 

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

Pack your vocal chords 'landers.

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.

Must say it was the first thing I noticed too.

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.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
