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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
