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

Is it a twiglight game or normal 2:10 start?

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!

Good call Tony. Agree 110%!

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
