Not a bad game really. 2nd gear at the start. Blues fans should be happy. Great we came back at the end there.

maybe the umpire interpreted it differently....

Yeah that one was up there but nothing could beat coming back from 40 points down in a pre season game against Carlton at Marvel on a Thursday night in front of 15 people.

Lever been an absolute general tonight. Great leader.

Huge LOLs if we end up snatching this.

great pressure last 10 mins.

wtf is this umpiring.

lol ran a km.

The Phantom Menace is actually great. Recommend giving it another shot. Joel Smith on the other hand...

It is ridiculously hot in here.

Carlton very scatter gun. Look a bit like Melbourne 2018. Could cause damage this year.

where do i park?

It's always been like that for ticketed events. Expected crowds of I think 60k are ticketed.

4 tickets under cover, level 1, right on the wing. AFL Members. All surrounding seats bar a few were unavailable. All Open seats were unavailable. Got lucky I guess but seems to be filling quickly

There was a thread on BigFooty a few years back that highlighted how Melbourne essentially missed the "golden era" of social media throughout the late 2000s and 2010s. As someone that works in corporate affairs and digital media if you have an almost exclusively negative user sentiment on your social media, your growth, reach and influence stagnates. Combine that with a traditionally smaller, concentred support base and you can struggle to attrack online engagement. I wouldn't read too much into it tbh. The social media golden era has well passed and we'll never catch up. Unless we are first to the table with a new, innovative platform.

AFL members are from 1pm iirc

We will. Close to election time.

No crowd limits for round 1. Great for footy and great for the city. Melbourne might the busiest it's been since 2019. Five games in Melbourne. Three at night.

Andrew Leoncelli.

crowd getting into it

Can't see us winning this. Goodwin being outcoached badly.

[censored]. Bont is killing us.

he's got the perfect Tuesday-Night-Over-40s-At-Croxton-Pub voice. Nah he's great.

What a great day. Beer. Pies. Great weather. Great performance. They didn't even need entertainment...just being around other supporters to celebrate for the first time...well, it's just... *chef's kiss*

how can you get something that doesn't exist? rest up!
