i look at it another way. It is a statistical inevitability that someone will eventually win from 4th. This year will be that year!

I like it mate, I like it a lot!

I played at the Anzac Day game this year. Was all live. 

The grand finals are all mimed. The vocals are live with some extra in the mix to fill it up. I think powderfinger played one live many years ago but that’s about it.

Nah, Meatloaf also mimed his. Was just a poor mix. Wasn't Meaty's fault.

True.  Paul Kelly played live too apparently. That’s why you don’t play live. You end up sounding like poor old meatloaf.  The afl doesn’t spend anywhere near enough on production to give the music a chance.

The absolute state of Collingwood supporters whenever someone dare suggest that Melbourne might win. My god they are a fragile bunch. 

It has come to my attention that apparently plenty of Collingwood supporters hate Melbourne. I’ve had quite a few comments along the lines of “especially against Melbourne”. I never noticed this before. Perhaps it’s just cause we are playing them this week and that’s how they operate. Some serious arrogance amongst them.

Everything is fine and there are no problems at all on this lovely day.

 

If anyone wants me I'll be out the back spewing.

 

Melbourne firming on Sportsbet. Pretty much neck and neck.

Good to see the weather shifting from Thursday to Friday. God i hope Carlton lose. The media hysteria is vomitous.

Good call Tommy in, I reckon Spargo will be the Sub.  Start with 3 tall forwards, Smith can go back if Turner struggles.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hibberd took Turners spot

I legitimately hope it's just us fans that read into the 1st vs 4th stuff and how 4th place never wins a flag. 

With everything that these players go through they hopefully don't get caught up in all the superstitions and would just be stoked to get this final on the G. Win and all bets are off. 

Plus in my mind we finished second. 4th spot due marchbank point . And poor umpiring.

We're a bona fide 2nd in quality.

Spargo is a bad sub. No versatility and he’s a low possession player at the best of times. 
My guess is Hibbo will be sub if he isn’t in the team. Or Laurie again.

I think after a H&A season of the media telling them and they thinking they are 2023 premiers it has finally dawned on them that they actually have to win Tomorrow , are in average form and play against a really tough opponent  and that it could all go [censored] up for them.

Tmac staring down a possible second premiership medal. At his age and with the state of his body, he would be silly not to relish this chance and leave nothing out there.

He has absolutely nobody pushing for his role either, unless Ben Brown can get a knee replacement done in a week. So no fear of messing up and losing his spot. 

Just needs to stop Moore. If he scores goals then all well and good. Thats a bonus

Spargo more if it does rain and we are struggling to mark the footy up forward.  He is clean and skilful the type of player you need in the wet

Or maybe it's because in the seven grand finals where Melbourne has played Collingwood, we've won six of them. 

And even if this isn't the reason, it's always nice to read this statement of fact in any context.

Hibbo is always a good in. 🔵🔴🔵

Thr last time we used Spargo as a sub was against Geelong in the rain and he was absolute pox.

Laurie or Smith thanks.

I was joking haha. Not a very good joke. Meatloaf's voice was shot.

Apologies if posted elsewhere. This might make some breathe a little easier when it comes to our forward line.

Melbourne can be just as effective no matter which seven players are ahead of the ball.

Hooray. Someone finally looked at the figures, not the injury list.  🔵🔴🔵

 

Tonight channels 7 and 9 are sending cameras to banner. I’d recommend watching channel 9 on this occasion since Nick McCallum will be there. He’s not just doing his thing then leaving, he’s gonna hang with us for an hour and a half.

[censored] got real when we knew tonight’s banner was upon us. We had banner on Monday as well, made the women’s and the backing for the men’s. That night it was all lighthearted and fun as it usually is. But today, as we left the sausage sizzle we were all very solemn and quietly saying “see you tonight.” It’s like we’ve all conspired to commit a murder and it’s happening tonight. 😁

Not a PK fan, but that was a really good performance.

Ash Naylor on guitar ... great guitarist, great guy. Shame he is a filth tragic.

Bull sisters ... love them.

  • 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.

    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.
