    I can’t even look at that brekkie pic now. I actually had a Berocca chaser, then another coffee at the airport. Had to hold the spew-bag for the entire flight, much to the concern of the poor soul sitting next to me. The attendants asked folks to let me off the plane first. I thought they were just being nice but they clearly didn’t embrace the thought of cleaning up some eejit’s vomit. The fumes on the tarmac exacerbated the situation. I barely made it to the ladies room, where there was a queue so I had to choose: floor or sink. Poor old sink got the gig.

    For future game-days I shall never again stray from my usual game-day fare of three ☕️s and four 🚬s and one Red Bull. 👍🏽

    I have heard of players having pregame nerves (plugger of all people had a trainer in the race with a rubbish bin) but this has taken it to a new level.  Get well.

    Sydney are extremely inexperienced on the inside.... so Oliver and Viney will dominate.

    I had this same problem. Found a scarf still vacuum sealed and opened it to find the 2022 scarf. Eventually found an unwrapped 2024 edition. 

    I used to get a scarf every season with my membership, but don't think it's happened since Covid?  Have they changed something, or is there a bunch of scarves somewhere in a cupboard in Jolimont with my name on them?

    Scarfs are still sent out, used to be able to pick them up at the game.

    In the app or website of the MFC, there is a page that you indicate if you want a voucher or the scarf and the plastic members card. I also think an email was sent giving a link to the opt in/out  alternatives.  

    The links send you to the ticket masters site. I have attached a screen shot from the email. I cannot send links as they only work after I have signed in to my account.

    They have a good ruckman and JJ is no mug. I think the whole game will be really even, we have strengths where they don’t and vice versa. Can see it being decided by a kick… late.

    Will be a good game against a tough team.

    Go Dees, hit them early and frequently.

    Warner and Heeney/Papley will get runs through there to give them options

    It's bad enough the media is out to get us without statisticians and mathematicians jumping on board the anti dees train!

    Even @WheeloRatings is agin us, predicting a 7.9 point loss:

    Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.

    Sydney are always hard to beat. They're a proud team who always have a dip.

    There are strengths and weaknesses on both sides. We are fielding a significantly less experiences side - but still with enough star power to keep them at bay. We're going to miss Kozzie and Petty (and obviously Gus), but I think Salo gives us ongoing coverage there, and we have enough zip in the team to snag goals - looking for a big opening game from Windsor, a big contribution from Fritter, JVR who looks ready to consolidate a solid 2023, Trac for a goal or two, Tommy, and even Scach. If we can get 10+ goals from that group - the rest can pitch in 4-5 and our defence will do the rest.

    Pound for pound we should do just fine tonight, despite the venue. Our midfield should dominate clearances, but we have been dudded by that before in many games last year, inexplicably. But I reckon Clarry will have a blinder. 

    A great opening statement awaits!! We win by 25

    GO DEES!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
