I don't know whether to laugh at or console those members who this year upgraded their memberships to one which guaranteed a grand final ticket. Hopefully the club spends that extra 'money-for-nothing' wisely!

Melb - 33. Pies 16. 18 minutes in second 1/4

I get that it's a 'free' live stream BUT if one of the worlds biggest insurers is paying money to sponsor the game to stream, then get it right!

PREUSSSSSS - what a goal!

Seriously - my daughter with her iPhone would do a better live stream!

Mike 3 - Check 1, 2!

Large Collingfilth crowd by the looks of it. Must have stopped off on the way to Centrelink!

Its back on!!!!

Oh FFS - great live 'stream'! Surely in 2019 we can have decent internet broadcasts!!

Great news - TMac has withdrawn from the AFLX game. Bad News - he's having minor knee surgery. Good News - The surgery will not stop him playing JLT or miss any home & away games. Bad News - Bailey Fritsch is his replacement in AFLX. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/melbourne-swingman-tom-mcdonald-the-latest-star-to-withdraw-from-aflx-tournament/news-story/42335073cf0e7799a8e0055728f780dd

To be an elite sportsperson you don't make sacrifices, you make choices.

THANKS for the info and pics Satyriconhome - VERY much appreciated!

I was there with the Mrs and kids. At half time I wanted to go home (yeah, I know - soft!), but the kids made me stay because it was one of the first games when they allowed kick-to-kick on the G after the game and they wanted to do that. So glad we stayed, it was an unbelievable comeback!

My MFC/Demon army membership pack(s) arrived by courier at 6.30pm tonight - Yahooooooo! The 3 other members of the family didn't get their memberships though. I think that's because I order a members cap and t-shirt and the parcel was too big for the normal post. It's a different package this year - VERY professional looking. No longer do the items come in a 'pencil case', it's all in a paper/cardboard 'envelope' package.

GREAT trade for a quality ruckman. Now he just needs to train with Maxy over summer and get super fit!

Typical JoeBoy response to a loss by slagging everyone. You are such a fairweather 'supporter'!!

The only stereotype I detest is when the commentators constantly refer to us as 'The Dee's' rather than 'The Demons'. It gets my backup as they always put the 'toffy' accented pronunciation on it. I know we use the 'Dee's' phrase in screaming 'Go Dees' etc, but other than for that reason, they should be using 'The Demons'. If they're going to abbreviate teams nicknames, then I want them to refer to Hawthorn as 'The Haws', just like The Demons treated them on Friday night!

My Highlight was that we were sitting in M3 and at about the 20 minute mark of the last 1/4 after Tmac kicked his 4th goal and then to see all the arrogant Hawthorn fairweather supporters get up and leave. All us in the back of M3 stood up, booed them and waved them goodbye! It was AWESOME Karma! Also, being there with my entire family to see the win - our first finals win together seeing it live! AWESOME night!

I was born in 1964 - I just want to see 1 premiership before I fall off the perch! (Well 1 at least)

THANKS to those that posted about how long it took them to get in to the ground last week. I can't there until 7 and thought I'd miss the start - from your posts it appears that should be fine. One thing less to stress about! LOL

Ditto - we said the same about their pathetic attempt to out-psych us during the anthem Well now they have 6 months to practice some 'esprit de corps'!

Game over - we are simply not good enough!

Worse analysis ever Joe! Obviously watched the game on TV and wasn't sitting in the crowd looking at the entire MCG!

Final teams announced and Tyson and Brayshaw are NOT playing - can anyone enlighten us why? Are they injured? Seems a strange decision for such a big game!

I feel sick!
