Better attendances will get us better draws so we need everyone to go along that can possibly go.

No more excuses - you have heaps of Saturdays and loads at the MCG.

If I could go every week, I would and just cant understand people not going when they have no real valid reason for not supporting their team.

For the record, I plan to come to at least 2 games down in Melb next year and of course the Gabba game.

Very happy with the draw, I think 10 wins, maybe more, is very possible.

Can't wait for 2010!!!

Good draw....

but how can round 1 and 2 games vs Collingwood and Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon be broadcasted on Fox? Surely a mistake...

Just like the old days on Saturdays. If you wanted to see the Game, you went to the Game.

Big crowd means a Big atmosphere to go with our new team...

Club says 15 MCG games, I only count 14. Etihad only twice is good too.

Just the one Friday Night is a bit of a bummer, but at least it's vs the Dogs, who should be top 4.

We got 15 MCG matches, but we gave up one to go to TIO stadium in Darwin, for the new venture. (better than Canberra ;) and we now play Sydney at the G')

First 3/4 of the draw is magic!

Tho the 'free-to-air' deal is again horrid. :blink: Guessing it will improve as our membership does,

but 19 out of 22 games on free-to-air for The Filth and Carlscum is over the top.

Happy with this!

Tough 1st 3 games is a slight concern, I just hope we don`t get flogged and young players drop their heads for a few weeks after.

Best of all, only 1 twilight game and it`s an away game against the saints. We must have had 2 or 3 Sunday twilight home games this year which cost the club a small fortune with shockn crowds and just crap atmosphere to be at!

7 or 8 wins next year will do nicely

I think 10 wins would be wishful thinking unless we really take a big leap next year...maybe?

8 wins would be a good season for MFC.

I get the impression the AFl like dealing with clubs who have former footy players or football background in positions of power

compare stynes and schwab vs gardiner and harris

I suspect that unless you have played football or have connections and work in the afl , you generally dont go far (jill Lindsay being an exception)

in the AFL

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
