I cannot wait to reply the camp conversations by all for the last three months.
I've been a member of the @melbournefc for seven years now. Even though I'm an American, I buy a full membership because I want to support the club. I'm so pumped to see the Dees in the finals for the first time. Bring on September.

I have a really, really , really good feeling about this @melbournefc side for the upcoming finals series!! It's been a long time since I've enjoyed going to the footy this much . Their tenacity and spirit are bloody fantastic to watch!

Wow what a great win play like the last 2 weeks and who knows @melbournefc . Gutted for @DomTyson29 and Dean Kent. Been a big reason of why Melbourne has risen and deserve to be there in September
