Seriously this time... Been a while since I've been to a game at Colonial Stadium

I got 2 X Kids GA tickets in my MFC App, if I buy myself a single GA, where would we end up getting a seat...?

Should we GA or Reserved?

GA at Marvel varies according to who the home club is. It's generally level 3 except for the front few rows. Low supported clubs like North sometimes open up areas on level one. It'd pay you to walk around the concourse and see if such areas are available.

    I just don't see our side being as good as I thought we might be over summer. Seems we are back to relying on players who having proven to be B talents over last few years. 

    I tend to agree.

    I think our best 18 is pretty strong, especially the backs and mids, but we fall away quickly with some very average players.

    I can't get excited by Jefferson, Turner, Johnson, Chandler and a few others.

    I'm excited by Sparrow looking like he's playing very well again, if our premiership players can get back to their best it will go a long way, we have a few of them.

    Stiff for Langford to be sub then dropped, was hoping to see him play a full game but hopefully soon enough.  Hope he rips it up at Casey!

    Agree on Langford 

    Tough to start in Q4 on a cold wet day into a high intensity day, but he did look at a different pace

    He'll be a 200+ game player, but just needs a bit more time.  He's got all the size and mobility basics, just needs more instinctive see ball, get ball and quick disposal

    Whenever I'm in Melbourne I'll grab a GA ticket and see an extra game at the Dome. Typically there are always empty seats all over the place and once you're in you can just sit wherever isn't taken. I wouldn't stress too much about finding 3 seats together for this fixture haha

    Spargo was a big favourite of mine in 21 but his form has fallen away sharply since then. Would be great for the team if he can get back to his 21 level of performance

    I'd like to this the difference is the injury he was managing before they conceded and went under the knife

    I wouldn’t be smiling if I’m 30 years old, un-contracted at the end of year and can’t get a game despite a quarter of the list being unavailable

    He is a poor kick that is the reason he was in the same position at the saints.

    it's really not

    Every thing is better than level 3 IMO. As the ageing process sets in the higher you have to climb becomes an issue. Then you cannot see the action as well and end up watching on the big screen.Might as well be at home with the associated comforts. I go to the G when I can sit in level 1 no pies or tigers games.

    Sparrow played very well last week and in practice matches

    I am still anticipating Spazza cracking four or five great games in a row, hard tackles emerging with the ball, hitting targets hand and foot, kicking a swag of great goals. I reckon he can be a great footballer, but as yet, has not broken out of the plastic bag in which he is restrained ... lacking confidence across the game, hamstrung by something in his instructions so far.  I live in hope for him.

    I know this will be howled down but TMac is too good to not have in the 22. If May comes back I’d be moving Petty forward. AJ was poor in the ruck against Brown and JvR is much better. Jeffo has no intensity and I’d prefer Turner and Petty to AJ and Jeffo. 
    If Spargs is ready he’s a class above Hendo. 
    Wont happen, but that’s my take. 

    I was happy to select TMac in last week with Jeffo and AJ forward.

    I had Petty as emergency and reckon this is an ideal situation as he can cover either defender or forward

    No worries...it was always a "thereabouts comment" but I was always a fan and do remember extensive time in the twos so highpicks playing in the VFL is not necessarily harshand am hoping Langford reaches his full potential..maybe lose a couple  of kgs, gain pace  muscle tone, and defensive skills..I am sure they look at the draft for potential ... Oliver shot up the ranks in his draft year and was in it almost as an unknown..was chubby to say the least!!

    Decided against finding crappy GA seats on level 3 with my 12 year old - bought upgraded seats - level 2 centre wing for $67 adult and $33 junior - best seats in the house can't complain

    There is an undeniable collective statistical decline of the core group that delivered the 2021 premiership and still plays in 2024. This drop in output—particularly among key midfielders and defenders—has not been offset by the emergence of new talent. While a few players have shown modest improvement, no incoming player has matched the impact or consistency of the premiership players still on the list creating a widening performance gap that has contributed to the club’s overall stagnation and regression across key indicators. We'll see in the next few months if this trend is reversing.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
