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. 😁

    For anyone looking for a gameday distraction this is a nice piece on Trac:

    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?

    I thought your husband's name was Mr No More. At least, that's what I assumed given I seem to recall you changed your name to Jaded No More around the time you got married.

    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.

    Unrelated to gameday but is anyone going to the dawn service at the shrine tomorrow morning?

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
