March Champions

Featured Replies

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.

Now updated to about halfway through the month. I've skipped a couple of minor articles/repeats.


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!

 

Did anyone see the feature on Jack Mega Watts in the Melbourne Magazine with the Age on Friday. All about the selection process and basically what a terrific guy he is..

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
