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:

What a complete bunfight this will be when 25000 turn up to park without pre-booked tickets.

 

PLus the fact that Ticketek will completely stuff up every aspect of this.

Just be sure pants are one of the two pieces. 🤭

This new jacket I got from the Scarborough Surf Club in Jan is seriously one of the most comfortable and warm jackets ever. Will be bringing that along for sure!

JVR 5, Schache and Kozzy 3 each.  Not sure who kicks the other 15 goals.

North were witches hats the last two weeks and whatever resistance they muster won’t last long.  And as I’m a supporter, it doesn’t matter if I’m taking them lightly. MFC by 60+ 😁😁

2. poor umpiring against us. Predicting at least 3-4 gifted goals

Well Donlon hates us, Razor love Gus (bodes well for his 150th) and umpires 37 & 38 have umpired less than 5 games each. So who knows.

Matching daks?

I’m sure apart from being warm you’ll look a million bucks!

I bought a new DA beanie before round one and am rapt to be finally getting the opportunity to wear it. The other 25 beanies at home are now meh.

Speaking of beanies, the bloke sitting next to me on the train right now is wearing a beanie and a really thick coat and either he’s fat or he’s a proponent of many layers (like I am, only not 30+ layers at one time), but methinks he doesn’t need it. If I get to Flinders without passing out due to his pungent gut-churning body odour it’ll be a minor miracle. DL is the only thing keeping me upright atm 🤢

Remember the OX

I've heard that Schwarter played at over 115 on occasions. Hoping Jvr won't get that big. I think DS was taller too.

Edited by leave it to deever

I'm not nervous at all. I'm expecting a good win tonight. Should I be worried? 

I mean if we're going to be a serious contender we should properly win easily tonight 


North were as physical against us as any team was last season. They are a better team now, and I expect they'll hit us very hard. I hope our guys aren't expecting an easy game. I'd like to see us hit them physically hard early and not give them the upper hand. This one makes me nervous.

Doctors told him to put on wait to help stabilise his knee. Despite 3 knee recos, we haven’t had a better CHF since Ox.


Wish we were going in with another key back tonight. 
We were exposed in defence v Essendon and Nth will look to do the same.

Gawn dropping back is great but Grundy is a liability in the marking contest.

I guess Schache can go back but that would throw all fwd structure out.

Well if we mean business you shouldn’t be. Just expect to weather the blame if we have a poor one 👍

I wish the weather was cool here in BKK. Youre lucky in Melb.. 35c often rising to 40 by early evening. Cool change wont come till after midnight every night. F##%#k terrible.

I dont feel the humidity though. Im acclimatized. Tourists should never come here in the hot season. Nightmare.

Going to the game with 13 people from work.

10 of them are Collingwood supporters. 
 

Please… PLEASE… just win Dees. 
 

Could be a bloody annoying night if we don’t.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
