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.

    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.

    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

    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

    • 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.
