As you invite the history lesson I'll oblige. Irrespective of the land the OP clearly refers to the sporting ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It didn't exist before it was built. A moot and silly point to some but it clearly gives context. It's built upon land granted to the club (the MCC ) . It's stadia , original and up til the Olympics make over was down to the Club (MCC ) Recent times have seen ownership wander around and ultimately back as public property but under the caretaking of the MCG trust. As to who's ground it originally was...As in whose facility ? The MCC. We were as the MFC part of the MCC. We ran away as it were....but came home. It's never really been the people's ground.Its just the BEST one

Not fussed who wins but a Dees filth granny would light a fuse under this town it hasn't seen the likes of for half a century !! Just hoping for a maniacal game of attrition

Totally agree. He seems quite at home in finals. Some saying fumbly but a lot of players have difficulties at times with ball zipping around. He still is quite calm...still taking excellent grabs...and when you NEED to !! Maybe me...just don't see that Smith is BETTER just atm...and in context of finals.

My only real thinking re Fritsch is he's been, like most the team adjusting quite well to the tempo and pressure of finals footy. We bring in someone else who isn't ? Bit odd to me.

I hope both teams leave absolutely nothing out there ( apart from limbs etc ). Hope both a totally spent forces

At a family BBQ. Hosted by a niece and partner. He's from WA...Yep...an Eagle. He's putting on the whole spread... food drink ...I suspect he'll make a most gracious loser. His day is Gunna suck big time ?????

You too miss the point. Not the land the Cricket Ground.

Who built the G? It's not hard really. So take your sanctimony elsewhere.

They also have limited paths fwd to goal currently. It's be hot pies for sure...plucked and baked

Never realised those Kulin clans built the G. I suspect the MCC is the original owner of the G

Lost to some other mob too ... The Dee-tails escape me .. lol

Mais Oui, pour la Creme de la creme

Shititek calling someone else dodgy !!! Amazing ???

weagleland.....pretty funny stuff I expect a well fought out tussle with us breaking the chains in the last to over power them by 18 immediately afterwards perth will fall into a deep depression. Unleash Hell Melbourne

not many...but someone might !! for the price of a coffee to find out ...... only live once

No point worrying about what you can't change/affect. Just go out and play your very best.. Go Dees We've got this

does he know Sergeant Shultz perhaps ?? ?

Exactomundo ... how is Brownlow Boy's brain fart suddenly Clarry's responsibility ?? The dlckhead dork stuffed up . Very expensively in context of the game.

sometimes work annoys me....actually...work annoys me most the time....but especially this morning...Would have liked to join in ( spectating) I have eyes and ears there though Thankyou to them enjoy the sunshine Go Dees

Terribly sorry. I'm not sure why the phone corrects with the incorrect . Fixed

P.s. hit the scoreboard and that feral lot of mangey fowl will soon quieten

Is there a stereotype ? I think there is but it's not the one purported. I think a lot of folk like to get stuck into us because it's what lesser intelligent types do. Can't come up with robust banter....then just sneer and lampoon. But we're onto to you lot ( all other team's excuse at unbiased reason ). Where, here, despite our habit of throwing cheesy ? barbs at each other from time to time , still able to carry on a decent discussion whilst embracing ( in the main ) a broad palette of views. There's a very good reason that Demonland is most likely the best Fan-forum of this league. Other than the wonderful and diligent work to provide it ( thanks ) I simply believe we are the most capable of a learned and balanced review of ours and others. Players who play at the highest level are deemed elite. I suggest Dlanders and by association all Melbourne supporters must also be adjudged. I don't believe we are elitist.. just elite and it's because many of other persuasions are unable to discern the difference they strike out and proffer insult. Just confirms to me we are better. It's not the beer we drink, the wine we quaff nor the car our chauffeur parks that matters. It's that we are MELBOURNE and only we CAN be. Go Dees......ignore the riff raff, as really they know no better

We ought to know

Oliver outsmarted Mitchell. That's all.Hawks pizzed off at being mentally outmaneuvered. Can't wait to see how we out fox the weagles. Footy as much a game between the ears as off the boot. Go you good Dees
