Although it will be sad that a number of MFC players are playing their last game for the club this Sunday as many of us as possible should get to the G and show our appreciation of the careers of Robbo Wheels and Wheater for the MFC.

Hoping the DB will "instruct" Robbo to go for some speckies and give us a final highlight or two! I am sure the younger players would relish this also.

Pretty sure Matty Whelan will be picked for Sunday and DB has said he fully deserves to get to his 150th game.

Equally hope that Paul Wheatley is also picked to play for the MFC one more time. He also deserves a farewell game and at least once more should kick out to the centre - right up the middle and have a short on the run from outside 50m.

Even if on one leg those 2 should be in the side.

All of these guys are loyal MFC players and played all their careers for the Red &Blue. They are also leaving this week in deference to the long term interests of the club.

Each of them is also a nice guy and always have had enough time to spend time with the supporters!

So we need to ensure there is a decent sized crowd on Sunday to send them off.

Thanks guys for all your efforts :D :D :D

    Agree. They have been loyal servants of the club and deserve a good send off.

    Its a 2.10 start. MFC is also offering members an upgrade to premium membership for the day if anyone is interested. Email yesterday but contact the club for details.

    Good call! I'll be there to hopefully see all 3 of them go around for the last time in the red and blue, and possibly for good!

    Tony, I think they will all play. All the best for the 3 of them for the future.

    Robbo deserves a standing ovation from every Melbourne fan, he has been a fantastic servant of the club.

    It is not a Rubbish day. it is he end of the old & the dawn of the new. Life is like that, & will continue to be.

    I will be there. Would not miss it for the world.

    Bringing 2 DEES & 3 Saints supporters as guests - more money for the club.

    I'll be devastated if Wheels doesn't play.

    My Saints mate is going to New Zealand ... skiing ... !?

    Same sentiment though; Go Dees!! Go Wheels/Wheatley/Robbo!!

    Last time I get to see Robbo in the red and blue. Wild horses couldn't keep me away.

    Should be a good crowd seeing St. Kilda members get in for free on sunday. Lets all get there and make some noise on sunday, and hopefully give the saints a fright on the ground they havent played at all year.

    :lol: Off the bandwagon perhaps?

    I'm sure your mate will be back for the finals.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
