March Champions

March Champions is usually a derogatory term, but for the Melbourne Football Club March 2009 is going to be a history-making, euqal in long-term significance to the extraordinary changing of the guard and 'Debt Demolition' of the previous July/August.

As Whispering Jack pointed out when highlighting Jim Stynes 4 planned announcements (Casey Council, MCC, Sponsor, No.1 Ticket Holder), there is a lot going on right now.

This thread is for making a note of all the events and coverage that comes through over the coming month, right up to the match reports from the Round 1 game against North Melbourne on the 29th.

Just add your own post when you see a new article or know of a new definate event which has occured, and I'll periodically go through and edit the orgininal post with dates and links. Please include a date, the website/channell/etc that it was on, and about a five word title or description.

    You're doing a great job DD. I've pinned it and with luck this could become a wonderful reference thread.

    Thanks for your efforts!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
