The lions are well down the list of my most disliked teams. I despise Zorko though.

Same. I hate Zorko for what he did to Petts round 23 last year. I also hate Lincoln McCarthy for carrying on the taunting two weeks later, especially since that loss to them meant our campaign had ended. 😠

Not a betting man. Does the Lions being favourites hurt our chances of winning or is it totally irrelevant?

Irrelevant

On the tram down St Kilda Rd. Any decent food in the walk from Fed Square through Birrarung?

Not really, best bet is the overpriced food trucks outside the ground

New York Minute burgers, on the Forum side of Flinders Street opposite Fed Square, 10 buck burgers and great chips.

Totally Irrelevant. Horse Racing it means heaps but not in team sports.

So no sudden outs for the Dees? Then it was a massive plunge on the Lions probably for the betting to move that suddenly.

At the MCG early.

Was feeling anxious and wanted to have some beers to calm my nerves.

The Demons better bloody win!

Anyway, I reckon it will be a close game. But hopefully we get over the line against the Lions.

GO DEMONS!!!! 🔴🔵👹

For those who like omens I will be hopping on the Glen Waverley line. The last time I traveled to the match on this line we beat the Lions on a Friday night. That night we also had a ruckman go solo and he had blinder.

We like that omen ❤️💙


I dont bet much but i enjoy it more than tipping. I work with a guy who has a leg of all sorts of sports into his wekend bets. Soccer, NRL, Tennis, he has plenty but he knows I think it is a problem. I told him today I used his name and password to ban him from gambling online in all betting sites in Australia. For his own good.

I had him going for a minute or two. He was aghast.

Love your omen but just wish you had taken the train to the finals last year as well.

I did - Glen Waverley line as well. It didn't help. I'm thinking it's probably not a factor in team performance -same as the odds.

Umpires 15 and 22. Good times.

Would not surprise me if there were as many Lion fans at the G as the MFC tonight. Freezing night, we are in poor form and plenty of snow at Bulla. Sorry could not help myself.

If true that is just appalling

I'd rather hear what D Bennett has to say.

@Steve McQueen will be happy.

 

Train is very empty. I reckon we won’t crack 30,000. 
Sad really. If you don’t support the club now, when will you?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
