    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:

    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: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
