No alpacas, though ... :-)

Mine will be very disappointed to know she cant come :(

Great idea, Redleg. We could also discuss how the boys are training the house down under the new coach ... :-)

ahhh Glory days ( those between seasons full of total delusion !! )

We all have a cross to bear TBF!

But feel free to make the trip, Melbourne in November is always good and we have not lost a match in November for a very long time

Now that a chellenge for the boys, loss in November.

I think we have the team for that one.

I would imagine the idea is all are invited but the notion being it will be in Melbourne. Those living here will find it the most practical to attend.

I wouldnt think for one moment theres any exclusivity intended...... just a acknowledgement of geography only :)

I wa going to joke about the MFC purple circle but in these dark and painful days I thought better of it.

We are all in too much pain these days.

Plus if the Mighty Falcons (WPFC) win the 2013 WAFL Flag I may be too drunk to travel. As the WAFL is dead from the 2014 due to the planned host club arrangement, only two team have a chance of winning. That being either the Fremantle or West Coast Eagles reserve teams. I so hate those two Clubs!

Bring on the 2014 AFL season.

Well theres always the odd o/s exhibition game that we can lose. Must be about time we had another "excursion" into some pioneering frontier. Theyre building a ruddy huge cricket ground just outside of Kathmandu....that'd probably work for footy.!!!

Just come wearing a fuschia in one's lapel ( or hat if that's your fashion ) and wear a black armband. We'll all understand why.

Splendid bb

A fuschia would be great.

We play like Pansies but a return to an inglorious period seems very appropriate.

Is someone going to come up with a secret handshake or something to that effect so that we can exclude intruders, alpacas and members of Voldemort's family?

A sign outside saying "Diet banana cake swap meet"? And another saying "The foxes went *that* way" for the alpacas? :lol:

We could also just ask everyone to sing 'Its a grand old flag' in public, as you would have to be true red-and-blue or certifiable or both to do that ... :wacko:

What is happening?

The WCE and FFC are going to have a host WAFL Club again.

The WCE will place their player in East Perth and FFC will do the same with South Fremantle.

The last time the two AFL Clubs had a host WAFL Club (Same two Clubs) a host Club was in every Grand Final under the arrangement until it was cancelled. A host Club won all of the Grand Finals except the first one (1999) when West Perth won it as the under dogs as Souths only lost two qualifying games for the whole season.

I still remeber watching the 2002 (last year) when West Perth got smashed by East Perth which gave them 3 Grand Final wins in a row. They would not have achieved that outcome if not for the advantages given to them by the host club arrangements.

I am a MFC member/supporter today due to my disgust over the host club system.

I been a West Perth Supporter since I was four or five years of age (40 plus years ago) and now because I know host club mark 2 is on the way I find it hard to get excited about the WAFL anymore.

The two AFL Clubs have such power over here they can destroy the entire WAFL Comp overnight. This comp is as old as the West Perth FC as the club was a founding member and the oldest Club in the league (1885) and was orginally called the Victorians FC.

Not sure at this stage was the host club arrangements will be because I am so annoyed about the reintroduction of a totally unfair system.

I simply hate both the WCE (which I once supportered) and the FFC even more.

Is it too much to ask for the MFC to smash these two Club every time it plays them?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
