Was great to see the Legends do a lap at the 'G' today. (though I am getting sick of seeing relatives with players at every occasion).

Was particularly pleased to hear the cheers when certain players names were announced - in particular Shane Woewodin.

Though he did sweat red and blue, I agreed with the decision to sell him at the time. But gee, it was great to see him there and hear the fans give him a cheer.

Must have been great for the players to run thorugh the line up of past MFC players at the start of the game.

Well done MFC - it was a very well planned day - despite the loss,

Moose

Did anyone else get just slightly annoyed with the constant playing of the theme song?

I thought it was a bit much before the game, when we hadn't won anything.

I thought the trumpeter going out of time was a bit funny. Everyone clapping along to the trumpeting Grand Old Flag tune then he does a bit of freestyle between verses and all the clapping has to stop and retime :lol:

I didn't.

Me neither.

I actually thought the MFC deserves some credit for the functions on the weekend and well done to all that attend the functions and participated..

Can someone tell me where Garry Lyon was? He didn't call the game on MMM (or so I heard), but that shouldn't have prevented him from being there anyway.

Apparently he was double booked weeks in advance - said so on F/C

His kids were there though

Did sound odd, because even on F/C he said that he only found out about the march a couple of weeks ago. Please. It's been paraded around by the club (no pun intended) since late last year. In our 150th birthday celebration weekend, with a game against Collingwood, odd he wouldn't think something was on.

Oh well

Makes you wonder how close Garry Lyon has been to behind the scenes at MFC in the past. Hope that changes going forward. Lyon could bring alot to the Club...if he wanted to.

I was surrounded by Pies fans and they pretty much all cheered for Woey. So that might explain the loud roar.

The game was a Melbourne HOME game. They should play the theme song 100 times before every home game in my opinion. They should also drape red and blue across every possible spare inch of space at the ground and they should fly MFC flags from every possible flag pole in sight.

Call it a dream but it was nice to actually have a home game feel like one for once.

Yesterday in general just felt like a real FOOTY day, in the sense that everything about it felt like you were really at the footy. Walking to the G in drizzly conditions certainly helped.

Fights in the game, big crowd, historic conditions (because as if we get to play on a saturday on the G), tough game, close one, a few really good perfomances, overcast.

Only thing missing was the result

Why would i get annoyed hearing "It's a Grasnd old Flag" played on ouir home ground?? Haven't heard it much lately-Played while the "Filth Fans" had to sit and Listen. Doesn't get much better than that I reckon.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
