On ticketek there is only a pay option

This is an 'away' game? ie have to purchase tickets for general membership?

I just checked.... we lost our last three in '57 before going on to smash essendon to complete threepeat. in '64 we got smashed by the scraggers (we had players out) and then beat collingwood x 2 to win the flag. late games interstate this year won't help us. hopefully we will have stored our acorns away by then.

That's not the worst of it. I am a signed up member. I logged on the the ticketek App and presented the Barcode which MFC gave me and tried to get 1 Ticket and the site wanted to charge me 40 bucks plus for a ticket. NOT HAPPY!! INFACT SNARLY!!
I did that also first time on Ticketeck... it is a bit deceptive .... First purchase an MFC membership then have the ticketeck luxury of 'upgrading' and spending another pile of money on a more luxurious plastic seat.

The curse definitely cost us a flag when we were good enough ie 1987-1991 and perhaps 1998. Geelong and The Saints also missed flags they should have won. None as much as Collingwood though.

So happy Harmes was selected.
Yea he butchered a few things but overall was very goid.
Also his first game for a long time.
He will be better for it and I hope hes a reguliar.
I am still really keen to see Sw play and maybe he could come in at the expense of Melksham.
Playing a lower side in carlton might be a chance to trial Sw.
If not now than barring injuries and form I guess he wont get called up at all which is a concern.
Bbb was vital and will keep improving.
Petty stays. Watching the replay he did his job and like Harmes will better for the run
Sw in.
Jm out.
Carlton will be right on the money.

Front left is Hassa Mann.
2nd row is not sure, Dixon, Barassi and Addams.
Last row only player I recognise is John Lord 3rd from left.
Bourke Dixon Barassi Adams Townsend
Lord Davis back row, centre
Hassa Mann at the front.
-
I recognise most but not all of these players. Maybe someone can help out.
-
I can spot seven players- Ron Barassi, John Townsend, John Lord, Brian Dixon, Frank Adams, Hassa Mann, Barry Bourke.
Possibly Frank Davis back row, centre.

1956
15-0
I see we went 13-0 in fact. My (narrow) argument is we had three very close wins up to round 7 (in 1956), including an eight point win, but this year no one has got closer than about 24 points. 1956 is a very good portent and a key year in demon history! On your other point I think it is The Eagles and Port we have to worry about most to measure our true worth. In any event it is a magnificent season and we still have an enviable list despite injuries.

I have gone back through AFL.com records and I am pretty sure this is our all-time best start to a season ( as at this round) if we consider winning margins. What that means later in the season, who knows. May come down to injuries and our ability to stand up in SA and WA.

Like all of us here, I want Fritta to play and I don't think he was intending to hurt the guy, but he was certainly intending to make contact, so you couldn't call that an accident.
That said, I have the feeling he'll escape penalty. There are a few precedents that should help.

forget the may incident, it is considered, rightly or wrongly, a purely accidental incident
no comparison to fritta incident
i'm sure there are many similar fend off incidents where no suspension resulted. these are the ones his defence (if necessary) need to reference
Kind of like when Doug and Dinsdale Piranha had to nail Vince's head to the floor. Smashing blokes, those Dinsdales:

Despair not. The media is giving a balanced EARLY SEASON take on the mighty Dees. It's fair to say this in round 6. We could keep winning, and then fall over through injuries or hubris, or both. I somehow suspect not. Long time Demon sufferers like me can probably sniff there's something in the air but we will all have to suffer coming victories - and occasiinal losses - with a continuing measure of self doubt, that's probably how it should be. But at the ground Saturday night the extended cries of MELBOURNE, MELBOURNE echoing through the half-full stadium suggest something is building, we know not what.

Yeah but then he did what no none has had the guts to say out aloud. He pointed out Nic Nat and his work ethic around the ground and how he probably isn't fit enough and has only taken 7 marks for the season.
That's fair comment. I did think he looked a bit underdone the last couple of times I saw him play.

How's that guy Kane Cornes on Kayo saying that Mrlbourne haven't done anything yet and Richmond will have long memories, all because a Melbourne player pointed at the scoreboard during the melee. At 3-3 Richmond need to think about winning games so they can challenge at the pointy end. Dees are entitled to their moment of glory.

Not trying to sound negative but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves fellas. We’re playing amazing but premierships aren’t won by round 6.
Anyway, go Dees !!!
But who wants to play an interstate preliminary final... we have been smashed in the past ie 1994 and 2018.

How likely a latter season drop off?
in Melbourne Demons

Melbourne went 0-3 in the last home and homes in '57 and thence completed the threepeat. The last cupplar games are a sideshow if wins have been banked and players managed for the finals denouement.
