Our performance was that bad last week that this is the first time I have been on DL since the middle of the third quarter.

Upgraded my ga ticket and will be sitting in M4 level 1 does anyone know when the ceremony stuff starts as I'll be coming from work in South Melbourne and don't want to be late or too early

    ...I feel better with Lever back in defence. 

    Big time. He's our onfield general. Even when he's not in the best form, he's organising the troops and filling space that stifles oppositions ball movement. He usually winds up with a horse voice by the end of the match from barking orders!

    From a leadership and onfield coaching perspective, he's our most important player. Our next captain IMO. 

    It's a shame he got injured. Hopefully it doesn't impact his form too much, as he was in All Australian form to start the year.

    It sounded like Lever ended up with a horse voice just from the captain's run yesterday!

    Remember to wear a fig of rosemary instead of a poppy and as you've been told by others already to wear your ancestors medals on the right breast pocket.

     

    Thanks very much Cc

    I knew the significance and traditions of the poppy but didn't know that rosemary grew wild at Gallipoli and hence to wear some. Oh the knowledge of Mfc supporters.  A cut above others.

    As it damn well should be! 😂

    He might tell people he wears the pants in your house. But we all know it’s you who picks which ones he wears. 😁

    Just read it. Trac seems like such an authentic guy. I loved how he said he over thinks everything and Clarry doesn’t think about anything at all. Hilarious.

    Just be mindful of the fact that GATES ARE SHUT during the ceremony.

    hope you make it there in time, Azz.

    Also guys my husband is coming tonight for the first time this season. He’s only seen us lose live twice. Lock in a win. 

    On the flip side, my wife, who moved to Australia in 2008 and met me in 2010, came to games religiously with me in the dark years of 2012-2014. Across 2015-2018 were really fun for her because she'd not seen many wins so seeing more wins were great even though for me it was frustrating because we still weren't THAT good. But to her, 5+ wins was great.

    Our first was born in 2019 so she never came to the footy although she didn't miss much that year, and we were in lockdown in 2020 and 2021.

    She came to ONE game last year... the Freo game at the MCG.

    Our second was born two weeks ago so she won't be coming this year, and couldn't anyway because we've paused her membership lol

    Probably for the best -- seems she's bad luck for the team.

    Be there for 6:50. Honestly it’s the most beautifully poignant moment. You don’t want to miss it.

    Club email suggests:

    • Seated by 6.40
    • Torches on at 6.55 when MCG lights go out
    • Ceremony from 6.55 to 7.10
    • Game starts at 7.25

    Don't think you can be 'too early'.  Expect long queues at entry gates.

    Twice on the weekend I heard Dermott Brereton say that for his our pre-match ceremony is more poignant than the ANZAC Day match pregame ceremony since it’s at nighttime, thus the spectacle is way more effective. I fully agree with him.

    Heard it twice? Is that because he said it twice in very different ways in the one breath?

    Yes and both utterances were delivered as though they’re the most profound observations ever you will hear in your entire life. Just like everything else he says.

    Absolutely.  I predict i( profoundly) it will take over the round including the traditional Tuesday clash. The night time atmosphere and the imitation phone candles bring a whole new feel that elicits goose bumps during the last post. Just need the crowd to grow which I'm sure it will. I'd wager those going tonight usually pencil it in each year as a must. Have we won most of them.?The first and only one I saw was when we were leading up to the last q but got down to about only 18 players  due to injury and sone dubious rough play and the toigs stormed home.

    Spot on, Luci. Gates open at 5pm and for sure there’ll already be many people there not long after that. Queues will be very long and since the gates are shut during the ceremony, it’d be a shame to be stuck outside during this time.

    In particular, according to the master of profundity aka Dermie, the lap of the ‘G by the lone Light Horse Troop in complete darkness is the most poignant part.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
