This Saturday night our final H&A match will take place vs the Lions at Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield, QLD. The message is simple… if you can, PLEASE attend this match!

Unfortunately there’s only 12 of our core DA who can attend, and there probably won’t be many Dees fans. This is such a shame as Lions fans will undoubtedly turn up in comparatively big numbers.

The girls tell us time and again how very important fans are. They need to hear encouragement, it really matters to them, so much so that we’ve changed our position at Ikon matches from behind the goals to the pocket because they told us they can hear us clearly from there.

With Adelaide having beaten North today, a win for us next week is crucial.

If you or your family and/or friends can attend, feel free to PM me for who to contact/tickets/info etc.

BACK TO BACK BECKONS!!!

    Win next week and it’s a (possible) home GF for Dees fans to reel out the excuses!

    Geez I really hope that doesn’t happen. But if MFC fans are able to attend a home final/grand final but choose not to, I don’t wanna hear these same folks whinge about not having seen a Melbourne grand final in person. We support our Club therefore we should support ALL of our players, ie. anyone who pulls on a red and blue jumper.

     

    I almost forgot to add…

    IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. 😉

    Where will the home Grand Final be played should we go all the way? If it is Casey, you lose any chance of getting more than 5k there!

    Definitely at Ikon. That’s already been decided.

    It’s the grand final rematch this Saturday: Brisbane vs Us at Brighton Homes Arena. They chose that grand final venue last year, much to our chagrin, despite having never played on it. It was their new ground so after the match Daisy said we gave them “the housewarming from hell” 😂 which was printed on T-shirts and which still makes us laugh now.

    Apparently Casey has a capacity of 9,000 which is only 3,000 less than Ikon (12,000). But of that 9,000 only 350 are seats. And they’re always reserved for players’ families and friends.

    Personally I reckon Marvel or even the ‘G would be a better venue because I think we’d attract more than 12,000. But just delighted it won’t be at Casey.

    Marvel and MCG would be unavailable due to big bash. In a perfect world I think Marvel would be the best option. A bit of a shame that it’s Ikon. I just see that giant Carlton logo and it doesn’t sit well with me.

    The players love playing at Ikon more than any other ground, including Casey. They would happily play all home games there. Besides, we’re still unbeaten at Ikon and the girls feel like it’s a home ground, despite the eyesore that is the enormous CFC.

    First thing I thought of was that hideous CFC. The colour is right I'd like us to have a Melbourne red and blue banner to cover it up for the day should we make it and give us more of a home game feel.

    Honestly, we don’t need to do that in order to have a home game feel. We played our finals (other than the GF) there last year and it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere couldn’t have been better. The CFC emblem didn’t make any difference at all. Besides, I can’t imagine the CFC allowing their emblem to be covered up by anything.

    Before even watching it I was gonna say there’s no way I’d be in it because I actually did bugger all that night. 😂 But I actually am in it, albeit for a blink and you miss it length of time.

    As most know I have little interest in the girls game as the following will show. Do all the girls teams wear short socks?

    If you have no interest in the “girls game” OD, one wonders why you would possibly care to know what the length of their socks are?

    Just saw some photos on here and was wondering NC. Is that not allowed? It's getting hard to discuss anything on here these days. I thought it was just an innocent question. But perhaps not!

    I'm thinking a laser projector of the MFC imprint over the top of the CFC. They're just similar enough that it could work for a couple of hours of trolling the Blues.

    OD, you do not need to tell us that you have no interest in the “girls game”. I’m sure it’s not intended but it sounds condescending and disrespectful. The development of AFLW has been amazing and the performance of the Demons fantastic. We should be interested and supportive.

    Fair go Ernie!

    OD was simply expressing his own view - I don't see how you read disrespect into it.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
