    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 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.!!!

    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:

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
