Cheers guys. Is it worth posting another thread to create awareness with regards to what happening on friday?

Yep, perhaps with a more specific title eg rally round the boys at treaining on Friday morning. Or something, I can't make it Friday - have meeting i can't shift but will wear red and blue in solidarity.

Top work.

That the club needs unity is obvious. It's a vital ingredient for a successful club and one that's been missing at ours for a long time. On and off for nearly 50 years. Nice sentiments in the OP. I'm

Just posted this over at 'ology

"If anyone knows of ways to advertise this 'event' widely, now is the time to tap into your resources. It is about gathering around our boys in a show of solidarity. It is about support. It is a symbolic gesture intended to communicate that we will see this through together. "

I believe an achievable outcome is 150 - 200 supporters... but, just for a moment let me dream... What if 1000 supporters turned up? Wouldn't that create unprecedented publicity and make the football world sit up and realise that the MFC is alive and well and able to deal with it's problems and move onward and upward? 1000 supporters at training on a Friday morning... what would that mean to the playing group? How would that galvanise the group? Are there any other dreamers out there?

All being well I will have a look,however I am expecting as many media as Dees supporters.

Not decrying the effort guys just think the blood suckers will be there in force

I think it imperitive that we get former greats along to training this week as well. I'd like to start with the three that appear on my avatar. Just need to know when and where and I will make it my business to invite them.

my daughter and l will try to get there, l was really angry at the start of the week but have realised the club just needs support and not being put down. ( this means YOU all Jack Watts haters)

Love the feedback... special mention to those prepared to take time off work. I usually park under the Swan St Railway Bridge (2 hour limit) and walk a few hundred yards to the ovals. This area fills in by about 9:30am. If tomorrow is busy, might have to park further East along Swan St and catch tram.

I'll try and make it, parking is a problem. But worth the effort.

We should all wear some identifying feature. Todd Viney bandana?

Let's swell the numbers... Bring your kids, it's still school holidays. Hell, bring the whole school! I rang my sister and she's coming in before work. It's also a good idea to contact other friends who barrack for the Dees. Most people will make the effort if a friend asks directly. Don't leave it to chance... make the call!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
