Get there early. We went at 5:30 today. The staff said if we had been 15 minutes earlier there wasn't a queue. Still we only had 5-10 people in front of us. Queue much longer after that point in time. Museum is pretty cool actually.

Damn.

oh excellent reference - "it's only $20 per person"

Jeez the days of easily getting a drink at the bar are long gone...

I haven’t noticed, I’m still watching replays 😆

I think the Club did well to win over the people of Perth. I had an eagles supporting friend who was living in Melb, but decided to return to WA (his home state) due to the pandemic. I gave him my members barcode for the GF on the condition he go for the dees that night. I saw him in a photo on Facebook with a demons cap on. If the shoe was on the other foot I would not be seen dead in Eagles or Dockers gear 😆.

BIG CLUB VIBES

Newsagents and woolworths have the poster - https://www.goodfridayappeal.com.au/premiership-posters/

Fantastic! Who got the footy Tmac kicked into the crowd?!

It's a miracle. And Allen Jakovich's legend status grows with the interview he did with Garry Lyon on fox sports post game 😆. A must watch! Accidently drops an F-bomb and when asked by Garry Lyon how many he would have kicked on the night, he said "I would have kicked 9 tonight!"

These photos were taken in 2018 during the finals series. Wonderful sentiment.

Sydney also had COLA and the best QCs in the business making sure they could field their best side ;)

With the right result on Saturday, we could very well go from small-medium club to big club over night. 😵

Yep, its a book called "The Australians". I have the original book. Sadly the book is in a storage facility overseas after a hasty covid-related departure. One day I'll retrieve it. I took a scan of the image and had it framed. We need an updated version :)

The college football enthusiasts will also know it's also the Texas Longhorns football hand signal - "hookem horns"

Great share, fantastic bit of history. Some things don't change - Coca Cola adverts!

I like Danny from Droop Street 😆

In the perfect world, outside Barass, I would like David Neitz to do it, he represented our modern struggle and is our leading game player. (Much like Richo doing it for the Tigers in 2017) But Lyon, despite his foibles, was one of our finest players and captains and is the obvious and worthy choice.

Anyone on here buy this at auction? https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/a-melbourne-football-club-commemorative-sword-commemorating-125-years-of-28046208?page=11&orderBy=lot-startPrice&order=ASC

Didn't realise he was into computer programming either.

Hopefully this is the start of 5-6 years of consistently playing finals and giving ourselves a chance at the ultimate glory. But having finished first and earned the double chance, making the Grand final is a pass mark now.

Haha we are living rent free in his head

Even in normal years not everyone who wants to can get into the GF.

Was interested to see the H&A w-l formlines for each of the premiership teams of the last 10 years. Premiership Team Form lines last 6 rounds of H&A Season: Richmond 2020 - 6-0 Richmond 2019 - 6-0 West Coast 2018 - 4-2 Richmond 2017 - 5-1 Western Bulldogs 2016 - 3-3 Hawthorn 2015 - 4-2 Hawthorn 2014 - 5-1 Hawthorn 2013 - 5-1 Sydney 2012 - 3-3 Geelong 2011 - 5-1 Formline Last 5 Games 2021 (not including final round) Melbourne - 3-1-1 Geelong - 4-1 Western Bulldogs - 3-2 Port Adelaide - 5-0 They are just stats but Port, despite their shaky record against top teams are a genuine threat based on the numbers.
