    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
