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???

    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!

    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.

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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
