My Demons seats area too. Not happy with Dees fans giving their tickets to Pie friends. I pay good money so I don’t have to rub shoulders with filth. 

Bizarre behaviour. 

Five members of my close family (parents, siblings) are Pies supporters. People I love, obviously. But today they are my sworn enemy. If any of them asked me for a ticket I’d hand them a toilet roll.

    How do you know they have tickets and didn’t just sneak in? 
    I would check.

    Well, I'm heading off to the G and intend downing a few pregame thirst quenchers.

    If, as my Cardiologist confidently predicts, the big one arrives today, may I land and splatter as many filth supporters as possible.

    Will keep my ears peeled for something similar to this eminating from the filth throng...

    Jack Ginnavan a potential late out today.

    Triple M just interviewed Josh Fraser and he certainly didn’t deny the rumour.

    Seen on the train:

    1. About half the men on the carriage wearing tracksuit pants

    2. Drunks smoking on the bridge between the carriages

    3. Group of delinquent Collingwood supporting teens vaping on the carriage

    And they’re probably the better behaved contingent of Collingwood supporters.

    Where we started:

    'Lot of Collingwood supporters here but all I see are gate receipts'

    Nek minnit:

    'I pay good money so I don’t have to rub shoulders with filth.'

    Can anyone remember the last time we went into a game not as the bookies favourite?

    Imagine saying that sentence to your 2013 self.

    I'm pretty sure the lions were favourites, just, against the lions in round 2.

    But you'd probably have to go back to the 2021 season for the next example (maybe the dogs round 17 loss?).

    If everyone outside the stadium were to die how long would it take to breed out the Pie supporters?

    Steady on. I think that is a bit harsh and over the top wishful thinking. What’s wrong with forceful sterilisation? 

    Do these Fox commentators get paid money. “Melbourne’s main problem is an inability to score” are we not one of highest scoring teams?

    Glad to see the all the optimism - I wish I could share this. Reality is this is going to be a tough game to win - we have been in really poor form for the last month or two and thinking it’ll just change is a bit of wishful thinking. 

    On the positive side, the Pies are starting to come off their phenomenal form, starting to look tired, have some illness sweeping through their club and have had a few soft kills in the past few games. 

    Its going to be less than a goal.

     

    A score for every i50 would be nice, 50/50 goals/behinds would be better, 100/0 in first qtr would be Deelightful!

    Go Dees, light up the score board!


    The lady checking tickets in M50 told me she’s already kicked some Pies fans out. I told her to please keep an eye out and she promised she will. 
    The issue is they sneak in from underneath 😡

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
