March Champions

Featured Replies

Posted

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..

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
