Remember people. It's a 7.05 start. If you're late, the match could be over.

Straight from work, no problem

Regretably, I cant turn up.

However, I am going to go to the ground b4 hand and swipe my membership card, so the MFC can get my recipt. Its the least I can do.

Good to see.

Can't make it myself either, stupid moving house mumble mumble.

If somebody wants to swipe my membership card to give gate receipts, i'm in as well.

Move Saturday!

We need 50,000 plus!

i'll be there, but i'll be negated by the geelong supporter i'm dragging along

Tell him to shut up, and give it to him if we are leading at quarter, half, 3/4 and full time.

I'll be bringing my two mates along to bump the attendance up! Although one of them is a Gees fan the other is almost a Dees fan!

I missed Saturday's game (first Victorian match I've missed in about 6 years I think) because I was really sick and I have a very important presentation coming up so didn't want to risk getting worse.

However, nothing will keep me away from this match. In fact, if the Essendon match was our home game I would have dragged myself out of bed, because I know how desperate we are for numbers.

Already notified work I'm leaving an hour early this Friday :)

Today we can only feel gross dissapointment and indication of how the MFC and AFL has no idea how to enable the MFC to restore pride and credibility in the AFL community with the total lack of any promotion of tonight's game against the Cats!

This should have been marked down as the Game to be the anniversary of both the MFC's 15O year and the anniversary of the first game of Aussie rule. Yesterday was the day everyone was to have a kick to celebrate the birth of the game. So the game in 7 hours time is the game to mark. Yet we have got ZIP!

Compare this with the hype and promotion of Richmond's 100 anniversary game a few weeks ago.

AFL could not have done anything more to ensure this is a non event - other than move the game back to a 10.00 pm start so was catually being played during the Olympic opening ceremony!

Totally missed opportunity to promote the great game and mark any actual milestone as well as a foundation club!

Will be even more peeved if they bag the MFC for a small crowd as Mark Thompson has already predicted!!

Hopefully however our players do have some sense of pride and occasion and enjoy the challenge against the premiers. Good luck boys!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
