Always Ponsford stand at away games unless we play away against Collingwood as they sit their on home games

Ok thanks, don’t normally go to away games so this was new to me. 

Since this one is an away game, will the cheer squad be at the ponsford stand end or the regular spot in the Warne stand?

I hate the rule, but so many times already tonight I’ve seen the dogs players jumping around and moving on the mark and yet no free?! Have I just missed a change or are the umpires just helping them out? 

Has the standing rule just disappeared?

I've seen this posted here, but just seeking clarification...Is the carpark completely closed for General Public parking? I have consulted the MCC site, which is vague at best.

 

If this is the case, what a complete disgrace. It is a Wednesday night. People want to get home early. Why on earth would you close the car park?  No doubt the metres will be patrolled all over Jolimont. I have an elderly father, he isn't disabled, but relies on driving in. There will be no parks within 2km. He will struggle to walk and why would you want people crammed on public transport. Complete balls up 

Yep, drove here hoping to get in still but only allowing disability permit holders in. Managed to get a parking spot 800m away though so could’ve been worse for us.

Got my member pack today. Happy to have the little 10 year badge in there 

Got my big window sized flag a couple of days ago. Love the size of it. It’s staying up with the rest of them for the rest of the year

That's the same style tshirt Demon Shop told me they were waiting on..... I ordered it on GF night.  

I ordered all of this stuff that night too

Just got another one of my orders arrive today after getting onto aus post 2 days ago after having no updates to the parcel for a couple weeks

now just waiting on one of the big flags and the premiers guernsey 

I’ll be converting one of my bedrooms into just a Melbourne room for all my merch I’ve bought since the grand final and everything else I’ve collected over the years. Set up a tv and just watch games in there too

Not that it made a skerrick of difference but there were a few obvious errors that in the end, evened itself out (although, it must be said, we did lead the free kick count 19-13)

The high tackle on Kossie, hands in the back against Brown not paid,  holding the man to Brown for a 'lingering' tackle and the mark to May not paid

You win big by having having high talent levels,  a solid & flexible game plan and top level coaching

Be 5 goals better than any opposition and you've got nothing to worry about

Enjoying the win immensely but if we're to contend again we still need to improve in all those aforementioned areas.  Recruit with real intent for starters

Yeah that’s all very true. Just getting to rewatch the replay now and definitely seeing a few frees missed here and there. thankfully they didn’t have an impact o no the end result for us 

I think the thing that should scare opposition teams the most is so little time it takes us to take the game away from you, even against the other top teams. To score 100pts in one and a half quarters against the other grand final team is crazy!
We were in a really tough spot halfway through the third and it really looked like we were in big trouble, only to pretty much flick a switch and we completely obliterated the dogs from that moment on!
Same thing happened against Geelong after halftime, although we still seemed to have their measure for the whole first half.

I can really only recall one outrageous decision and it went in the Dogs' favour - Pickett not getting a free for a high tackle, despite Hunter having got one for the exact same tackle earlier.

I really can't recall any other big umpiring errors.

Thought the game was well umpired.

That one was a howler! Just about took picketts head off. 
but yes agree, aside from that one the game was generally very well umpired.

McDonald might’ve had a quiet night but that was some great body work!

Regardless of what happens on the weekend I’ll be upgrading my membership for 2022. Only ever had a 5 gamer since I’m in gippsland, but I’ll be going for the all Melbourne based games membership for the new year and make the trip down 

I still love listening to “hell’s bells” by AC/DC that we used to run out to a few seasons back. Wish they still did that one. In my opinion it’s better than the current song. 

Dangerous tackle 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Has any team come from 44 points down at Geelong and win? Not for many years if at all.

But I had hope late in the third quarter.

The closest to that is they only ever lost at Geelong once before after being 5 goals up at 3qtr time and that was to west coast 2006!

Of all the players to have a kick after the siren! ONYA MAXXXXY!

Some actual good umpiring then not paying that high to wc when their player dropped the knees on Neal-bullen

Kozzzzzy!

Went to school from year 7 to 12 with Declan keilty and on the same bus home the whole time. 
also met Cam Bruce at an sfl game in Melbourne when my brother worked for them. 

LOL Richmond ?? that was one hell of a choke. 29pts up in the 3rd and then conceded 7 straight goals

Wow Brisbane are really being pulled apart these last 10 minutes

Rich just threw the ball a country mile!
