    Would be great for MFC supporters to buy up tickets and get a good Demons crowd to this game.

    I'm not buying into the Brody Grundy grudge match garbage, but I do bloody hate Sydney and would love to go up there Rd 1 and beat them on their home deck.

    I actually didn't get a barcode, don't think they have been released yet.. If you got a confirmation email  I'd say youll be fine.


    Any Dees fans considering going, get your tickets ASAP, we've only got a small allocation of tickets and there's not many left by the looks of it.

    Fingers crossed I still might have a chance of getting some leftover obstructed view nosebleed seats by the time I figure out if I can afford tickets at all!

    After going rd 23 last year and using the free seats provided by the club I decided to purchase tickets this year. Got behind the goals on the top level which looks to the equivalent of level 2 at the MCG. 
     

    Not excited just yet, still flat after last years finals.

    It's getting to be the case for a few I'd say.

    To say, "Im feeling really valued and very supported" is an absolute dig at Simon Goodwin and potentially others. i had thought there was no animosity, but with that one comment i have completely changed my mind.

    Glad you read between the lines,  GtG.Brodie’s a smart man; he’s not about to publicly disparage Goody or the MFC. Now if only people can accept the possibility that he wasn’t selected for the semi for a reason other than we didn’t want to select him. *Just saying.

    *yet again

    And its also another instance of disproportionate media coverage. Steven May says what he says at the BNF and its spoken about for days on end. Yet crickets on this? Absolutely nothing. We get savaged for some reason. what makes it even more confusing is that in a recent survey, Melbourne was about mid table when it comes to teams that other supporters cant stand, so its not like we are more despised by the broader AFL public.

    First game on March 7.   Strewth.

    Too early .Can dees go B2B at the SCG. Would surely be a first.

    Grundys comments were fair and totally justified. Not a thing.

    The fun has gone out of it for me.

    Cant stand the media and AFL corporate.

    G’Day all,

     

    Unfortunately there is no opportunity for Melbourne members from Melbourne to sit in the Melbourne supporter section of the SCG for the opening round. Only MFC members based in Sydney have this option. 

     

    As such would any MFC member based in Sydney who is not going to use their allocation of 10 seats able to share their barcode with me so I can order two seats in the MFC supporters section? (Maybe send the barcode by private message if you’d be so kind)  

     

    Frustrating Melbourne based MFC members can’t get access to these seats but it is probably more to do with the limited release from the afl then with the club itself. 

    Thanks again,

    Dusty

    You’re better of buying tickets and getting decent seats, the bay allocated is in the pocket and viewing is restricted as the ground has a massive crown. I sat there rd 24 last year, never again. Was better of watching it at home on tv.

    That's not what I wanted to hear.. I'm a Melbourne based member and did manage to get one of these seats a while back, even if the view is restricted, I'd rather be sitting with my own kind than with some feral swans supporters

    We also sat there in Round 24 last year (we couldn’t sit behind the goals since that’s where Sydney members only sit) and I thought it was fine. As DanielE288 says, you’re with other Dees fans, so it’s all good.

    Any spare barcodes or did you two use all 10 of your seats. If you only used up to 8 any chance I could use the other two? No one has come forward as yet. Happy via pm. Many thanks!!

    I hope we as a club close ranks re the media as much as possible this year.

    I know there are media commitments and expectations but if I had my way I'd have players and staff talk to the media as little as possible. 

    We seem to be the latest whipping boy and it sometimes seems they are looking for things to dump on us.

    I hope that we do most of our talking on the scoreboards this year .

    It's getting closer.

    Keen to fly up for this!!

    anyone know if there’s a certain pub melbourne fans gathers at before a scg game?? 

    It’s funny, when I fly to Melbourne for games my wife and I will go out for lunch / dinner at a restaurant then drinks at a pub before the games starts and because we’re staying in the city we have the luxury of the Melbourne tram network. 
     

    When attending the SCG we drive in, the public transport is not as user friendly as Melbourne’s in terms of convenience. No trains to the ground only buses, not sure if the recently upgraded tram network goes there. So we park close by and walk straight to the ground. 
     

    @hardtack or @Sydee may be able to shed some light on this for you.

    The us vs them ( every one else) suits every now and again. Creates an edge on occasions. 

    Think you are overreacting a little about us being a whipping boy but again can play a role in the trenches. 

    I think we should be as aggressive as we believe we need to be and be active in our actions and not be scaredy cats at all. Get on the front foot I say.

    Not sure, I think it might be. I’m coming from Homebush way so there’s no where for me to catch it. Driving is the best option for me. Thinking about it I spent more time in Melbourne’s CBD last year than Sydney’s.

    Sydney is a beautiful city. Greatest Harbour in the world possibly and lots of Sunshine.

    But in terms of getting around on pt Melbourne is easily the better city.

    The Scg although close to the CBD  is kind of like how getting to Waverly used to be.

    A bus to the tram followed by two more bus routes. Not good. Don't get me started on Snz stadium or whatever it's called.

    The MCG and Docklands are so easy to get to.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
