    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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
