Let’s get excited...

First things first. I hope that the club are going to have another march to the G like before last year’s game. It was a fantastic sight to see all the red and blue in Fed Square. On Sunday the Hawks were doing a similar thing to celebrate their record membership. I actually went to Fed Square early with a couple of Hawks mates as supposedly Jeff Kennett was going to say a few words and there would be merchandise..

Well there was nothing.

About 300 Hawks fans turned up and rather than Kennett come down and congratulate the fans it was just some guy from Hawthorn in a suit with a megaphone on the stage telling people to start walking to the G. My Hawks mates weren’t happy about it so thank god Transport was right there for a few pre match frothies.

I really enjoyed the Fed Square experience last year and i want the club to do it all again and get the word out as early as possible and make this a Queens Birthday tradition.

Get a merchandise stand up for the new jumpers, have that egg and bacon roll stall again...make it a festival!

It’s our proudest day of the football year and we should be ramming it down the throats of the football world that Queens Birthday belongs to Melbourne.

So c’mon MFC...get the word out again and get to Fed Square and see that sea of red and blue stream down Birrarung Marr and towards our home!

I don't think it will happen again this year, last year it was almost the start of the season when they told everyone about it, and mostly did it coz of 150 years, would do it if MFC come out and said they were doing it again but won't do it if there are rumors going around that it will happen again.

I'll be there. If they're giving out flags again, i'll be able to donate my players/coaches/Jimma signed flag to a worthy recipient and enjoy getting the signatures again :)

I may not make it to Fed Square but not even swine flu is stopping me from going to the game.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
