Before last year, watching grand finals made me jealous and made me picture what id think it be like to be at our home winning one.

This year, watching the parade (although I’m glad we didn’t get that [censored]) and all the build up, seeing celebrations, bbqs and so on made me burn. I was always 50/50 on being satisfied by our club winning but yesterday made me realise I’ll always be happy for the club but I’ll never be a satisfied Melbourne member until I get to enjoy it ALL!

Fingers crossed for a big 2023!!

Not sure it is the time slot that makes a difference!

Comparisons to the 'night' games of 2020 and 2021 figures, aren't really vallid as they both had all Vic teams and Victoria was in lock down with a metro night curfew! 

Why are 2022 the lowest of all time:

  • Beautiful spring day, other things to do
  • Two smallish teams with one from interstate
  • Neutral fans didn't care
  • People have gone off football during the covid years

Hopefully, they don't use the unusual circumstances of 2020 and 2021 to change the time slot.

This is funny. But when Perth Police tweeted this about us after the 2018 prelim I was ready to burn their headquarters down. 
Don’t worry, @Ethan Tremblay, I would’ve given you the heads up so as you could pull a sickie that day. 😁

I know a few people who got a ticket in the ballot, knew that they wouldn't be allowed into the ballot next year if they didn't go yesterday so they went to the G, walked through the gate and went home. 

Not necessarily.

The only way to leave the members is to scan your card to get out .  Will the MCC be smart enough to do a search of those who took leave passes and check timing of the scan.  ?  Maybe?

The system will have that info. 

I spent the 3rd 1/4 not watching the game and came back to my seat and the area was only half full. Plenty had left by that time, me too just after start of last.

Very limited atmosphere for a GF IMO.

What’s there to watch? I’d probably watch the 2021 replay but we did that last night and we don’t have long left together 

Sooooo, just to be clear, Cassie… He’s here with you for a short time, you wanna enjoy the time together, yet you’re scratching around for something to watch on TV???

Think Which One GIF by Nick Jonas

Best team won the flag:

- They improved their team adding Stengle

- Had a good run with injury

- Beneficial draw that enabled them to rest some of their players

If Demons had Roos round 13 and West Coast in a later round, perhaps Max gets rested for 5 weeks instead of 3 to get over ankle injury and perhaps a few other players take a couple of weeks off rather than push on.

Griffiths has coped a lot of flak, but he managed Lions in 2019/2020 where they had great injury runs re soft tissue, so he is possibly being unfairly judged on DL, when we don’t have all the facts. Yes, I’m well aware our 4th quarters sucked!

You need a bit of luck across the AFL season, re injuries both in game and over season, who gets injured, draw, when you play teams (e.g. played Eagles first 2-3 rounds a big advantage when they were decimated by Covid), umpiring, so tough to go back to back!

It would be interesting following the court cases of those crying foul, arguing they felt sick (COVID??) and had to leave. 

Guess I'm not the only one who has not watched a moment of game since we got knocked out?

Been a Parramatta supporter since 1976 so the NRL has been my focus. One more boys!

must seem a bit like a local derby, clint 😆

Though disappointing & missed opportunity for our team this year the cats bombed out of finals for a decade whilst adjusting their list and were successful without falling off the cliff, the test for our team what they do over the next few seasons

I’m still getting over Chad Scott starting his speech with “I’d like to reiterate how much admiration we have for the swans, and for that matter the swans supporters who stuck around, you didn’t have to and we’ll always be appreciative of that”. Then he stayed on the podium for the team photos.....F-L-O-G


I got an email from the Footy plus more shop telling me about geelong premiership merchandise. 

I bet you can't get a geelong cheeseboard though. 

Never again  will i refer to a team as full of pensioners i.e Geelong . Anyone who suggest Grundy's age will be a problem is kidding themselves.

I think it is time For ALL Clubs to play games at Kardinia Park. The Red Carpet Draw must cease

That's an outrageous disgrace.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
