I am finding this granny to be one of the hardest to pick a winner.

Yep & for the first time in years I'm not bothered who wins.

But it's going to be close I hope. 

As I've stated before, whichever coach loses I'll feel for. For fagan to lose 2 in a row will be so shattering for him.

Sydney don't have the mongrel of the Lions. It is clear Brisbane came out with intent from the first minute. Swans didn't want to match them which is a disgrace for a team that had the minor premiersh

Happy for either side to win it. Port and Geelong didnt make it, thats all that matters.

That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for

Not surprised at this. I understand he lives in Byron Bay. Long commute to work

Wowsers. I’m currently in Kirra/Coolangatta and am amazed at the traffic and amount of time it takes to go from one end of the Gold Coast to the other, let alone from Byron to Brissie. Not sure of his family / partner situation but if you’re earning good coin and will do for only a few more years, suck it up and live closer by.

I always envy the supporters of the two grand final teams that get to experience the whole lot. As I get older the more I crave to experience this with my fellow demon family. Hopefully those who haven’t experienced any of it get to soon! I was only about 6 in 2000 so I don’t really remember too much(thank god)

 

Anyway, the weather is a beauty! Enjoy your day everyone!

Got in the queue at 6;40am,  Could have gotten here at 8:24 and got the seat next to me 😂

Where is your seat (approx)? I was successful in the ballot, seat is Level 4 on the wing ... row W. There will be seats available to MCC restricted members. Update:  MCC FB page .... seats went onsale at 9.40 am!!

I think I'll stay in the bar (Percy Beames) while some singer is 'performing' (aka miming). FWIW there's a rumour that an Aussie will join that singer for a song ... tip is that it's tiny Tina Arena.

Grand Final day brings a special feeling with it. Better than Xmas say, Boxing Day, Cup day by a stretch.

Love seeing people around town in their colours, every big footy fan deserves a chance to experience this.

I've never been to one, was hoping to save it for when we made one again but am tempted to check the restricted members offering. 

Should be a hell of a game watch, I won't be barracking for anyone just enjoying it. If I absolutely have to tip then om saying Swans by 7 and Papley Norm.

In the city now, just seeing everyone in there supporter gear makes me jealous, but then I think if it's Melbourne I'd be a nervous wreck.

Just read an article in JJ and how he grew up barracking for the swans & lived near the coach. Good on him if he could fulfil his dream today. At least he'll start on the ground

Soz, went to the gym, thought I’d be productive

Expect a cracking game until the 3rd qtr then Swans to get on a run and end up winning by 50+

Phil Davis convinced me of this when talking about GWS in 2019 and how when the game gets a little bit away the winning side seem to go hell for leather with everyone trying to win a Norm Smith.

And the GWS run to the GF was eerily similar to Brisbanes…

I wonder what the level of interest is in this game interstate. I suspect if you dig a little that it's not great.

Similarly the level of interest in Melbourne in the Storm is abysmal.

The GF really needs to go on the road occasionally. (One in every three years would be fine)

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
