    From round 7, all parking at the G will have to be purchased on line from Ticktec.

    This is on the MCC website Once again if you dont have a mobile phone you just dont park at the G.

    First refusing to axcept Australian money, then having to use credit cards now that isnt good enough, having to prepurchase parking tickets online from of all people.... TICKETEC.

    What an outrage!  *shakes fist*
     

    Don't mind it personally.  Now I can book my parking and turn up whenever I like, knowing I'll have a spot, rather than going as close to gate opening time as possible and then needing to kill a couple of hours.

    Plus, other than pre-booked parking in the city (which yes, you book online), it's the cheapest and most convenient footy parking in town.

     

    Edit - for anyone intending to drive in that doesnt know about the change:

    Not even Wiseblood could talk up a loss tonight, not that he’d need to. Looking forward to a strong performance tonight and an opportunity to tune the game plan.

    For non aligned supporters tonight's game will be boring.

    For Norf supporters tonight's game will be tragic.

    For Dees supporters tonight's game will be exultation.

    What ever happened to Wiseblood?

    Going to need warm clothing tonite. Got my usual dose of MFCSS of course.

    I really hope that we get a good crowd and just completely shut out the nth fans.

    Look if we're serious we should win by at least 8 or 9 goals. I hope we start well & just put the foot down and dominate.

    No pressure but would love to see Van Rooyen light up the G again.

    The ruck battle will be interesting. 

    Looking forward to tonight. Lets get our top spot back.

    But feel for non supporters tonight. They're only options are us v nth or West coast v Carlton.

     

    I hope we come out really switched on and not expecting norf to be a pushover.

    Also hope the quick turnaround in game time doesn't see us fade away in the last and we dominate all night.

    I'll probably be swamped under a Brodie Grundy head!  I'm dragging a normie Dee friend along, who will probably be utterly overwhelmed by us haha

    Goodwin has spoken openly about exploring forward line options, so I can't see our forward line being too functional or explosive. And Clarkson will try and bring this game down with lots of stoppages, lots of short passes at half back, and lots of attempted switching off half back which rarely works against the Dees.

    Goldstein will match us in the ruck, but our midfield will slaughter North's, and our backline can readily manage Zurhar etc... - the only real threat is Larkey who I rate very very highly. 

    Dees by 40 points.

    Excellent, we can exit the dry bay at half time and add some gin to that tonic!

    Thinking a 4-8 goal win but we must control the game

    I’ve been invited by a friend who is a North insider. He has stressed no opposition colours as we’ll be going into the North rooms. 🤐

    Blue blazer and a blood nose should suffice 🙂

    Why? No-one  cares about MFC. I dont feel anything for non mfc supporters. Alot of clubs hate us.

    So, I hope the players are recoving well from the 5 day break, but personally, that umpiring at the Richmond game took it out of me as a supporter.  My voice is only just getting back to normal and I'm really hoping for an easy game tonight, because I'm not really going to be able to backup to my usual vocal standard if things get tight.

    Frees last night 28-14 in favour of Saints.

    Obviously the winner was second to the ball all night.

    North played in QLD last Sunday.

    Pretty much even stevens. Our players have no excuses tonight.

    tales from the crypt horror GIF by absurdnoise

    Some of the chatter coming from Norf's coaching box this evening.

     

    Making your footy club marginally relevant again.

    1. Hit rock bottom and go to the draft for new blood.

    2. 'Resurrect' a former player and champion coach.   

    3. Develop the new talent assisted by the 'old hands'.

    4. After the first rebuild flops reset and go again.

    5. AFL inserts new team which quickly compromises draft.

    6. Every defeat is now certified as 'character building'.

    7. It takes 'time' (eons) there are no quick fixes in footy.

    8. There is no guarantee of success just hard work.

    9. While the sun is setting on your career keep it 'classy'.

    I was thinking before that I'd be happy with just a well controlled win that gets us the 4 points tonight, then I remembered how much pain North have caused me over the years and it's reminded me that I want us to pile drive them into the ground and rub their noses in it hard.

    🥳 was about to ask if you’d made it here, DP. STOKED that you have!!! We’ll be loud and proud and have heaps of chaotic fun, just like we did in Brisbane… only this time we’ll win!

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    ❤️💙❤️💙

    Obviously I'd like us to kill them, but I'll be happy with any win and no injuries.

    Ideally, I'd like us to keep exploring this forward mix and getting some defensive cohesion at the back. May finding some form would be handy too.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
