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!

I'm definitely going to be there, switched a double time shift so i could.

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

Wheels!

I'll definitely be there, as always.

Though Sunday I'll sit front row near the race so I can cheer him, and Robbo, off proper.

What a rubbish day it'll 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!!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
