    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. 🤐

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
