Not going to be a walkover for sure.

It was great to see Oliver and Tracc hit their strides last week given what's been going on with them both.

But our forward line showed the biggest area of concern.

I'm buoyed by the glimpses of brilliance by young Jefferson but it's only one game.

Fritta and Jvr will both have to pull out their respective fingers in order for us to kick a winning score.

I believe Turner has been included because of the concern over the previous two mentioned.

They both had average seasons last year by their own standards so there is reason to worry it may continue. Last week certainly didn't help this anxiety.

I think Sparrow fwd is a good idea because he has never excelled as a mid.  Shame we can't afford to swing Tracc through the fwd line a lot. It's bad enough we may have to use Jvr in the middle again. 

So given such a continued iffy fwd line this game is going to be tougher than we would like.

As our all games this year for the same reason.  And imagine if one of our fwds went down. Sheesh.

Dees by 21 with a late flurry of majors .

Surely it'll be SparGod as sub after such a long lay off

Makes a lot of sense. Could see us subbing out someone like Jeffo later in the game to go smaller.

 

I am on the Train from Berwick, stacks of Norfs, not too many Dees supporters🤪

Probably not,  but given KP was missed  so much and Nibbler gone, I really, really hope not.

Need as much goal scorer power as we can get and as mentioned above it's not Jvr and Fritta.

Plus Chandler is no consistent goal kicker.

We have a one gamer in Jeffo and an unproven Disco. So it's a full four quarters from this poster. Definitely.

Beautiful night last night and the roof was closed. It was one big communal sauna. Had to go outside at the breaks coz it’s nice to be able to breathe unlabored. 🥵

Anyhoo that was last night. Today is a new day but yeah, the roof will still be closed 😅

We’ll be in aisle 1. Anyone with GA tickets please come and sit in aisles 2 & 3 so as to create a sea of red and blue. ❤️💙

Thanks Gosty.  Your info is much better than the generic fluff on the club's website.

Really starting to despise going to watch the AFL these days for the way they treat the average punter.  I'm only getting GA tickets to the footy, bar finals, but despite the fact the ground will be half full, I've got a sinking feeling today going in that there will be so few GA seats available that it will be an ordeal to find somewhere to sit.

The info on the club's 'Match Day Info' Page for today:

Patrons with General Admission tickets can sit in any of the designated General Admission areas. These seats are on a ‘first-come, best dressed’ basis and are not reserved.

General Admission bays are confirmed the week of the match, with specific information posted on event pages and our social media platforms the morning of the match.

If you are unsure upon arrival at the stadium, please see a customer service staff member or see signage around the stadium.

Useless as the proverbial 

 

P.S. There is no specific info posted on the MFCs FB Page either.

Smoke and mirrors PF.

I've never met one. 

Ps I hope your mate Jeffo turns this one upside down.

Taj the sub. Ugh 

Who did you expect to he sub.

Can play multiple positions: wing, half back, defensive forward - Woey makes perfect sense to be sub.

I can't shake the worry that playing so many games as a sub can have undesirable effects on a kid's progress and confidence.

Fingers crossed that he gets to leave a memorable mark when he does come on.

Would rather him than Sharp as someone with that much run is wasted as sub, but I also think Woey deserves more of a crack than 15 - 20min gametime.  Quite happy that he'll contribute when he get's on though.

Woewodin as the direct replacement for Windsor won’t be the sub. 

For a man whose posts I read intently, this one didn’t age well Dz

I think he runs & carries the ball well & is a beautiful kick. He deserves to play out a full game. 

On the tram to Docklands. It stinks. I hate people. 

I’m a wee bit nervous about today. I hope the boys are switched on. 🤞


This is the day our young tall forwards need to introduce themselves to the league. Norf have nothing in the backline. Roo, Disco, Jeffo - over to you

Same. I know max loves playing at marvel as much as he loves playing at Geelong

A good win & no injuries will be good

Looks like there’s about 8,000 here today and half of them are on the ground forming guards of honour. 

 

I still remember last year a Melbourne fan yelling out to jy simplin you're the worst captain in the afl & no one knows who you are.

A bit harsh but also amusing

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
