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.

    Must say it was the first thing I noticed too.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
