I just got back from the training. I stayed until about 3pm and enjoyed myself but I have to admit it was a messy and clumsy PR exercise. Step 1. Heavily promote 35K members by round 1 Step 2. Promo

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be P'D off by todays efforts. Waiting around for an hour and half for your team to turn up is just poor public relations. In a highly competitive market like the A

I can't help but link this to the Great Membership Drive and the clubs stated goal of breaking their membership record. How many of those families who sat around for an hour waiting and then left aga

Can't wait, first training session ever and bringing the kids. Glad the club moved the start time to 12, it would have been too hard to get the kids to the normal 9:00.

At 10am: we are having an open training at 1pm with a bbq and coffee from 12

Do I demand too much suggesting no changes on the day of a members event???

At 11am: we will be having open training at 2pm with stale donuts and coffee at 1pm.

At 12pm: we will be having a closed training session at 9am with free pickings from the dumpster at AAMI Park.

At 1pm: the training session will be cancelled and any supporter attempting to gain access will be jabbed with a sharp stick.

I just got here, players aren't out yet but there's a good crowd (and a big line for the snags!).

Poor Howie is getting chased by a group of six-year-olds as he's running laps. Paying the price for being the first to show up

Training was actually moved to 1pm. Only tweeted through Demon Army about 11am. Not a good thing to do from the club, I know the training/conditioning etc of the players should no 1 priority but when you advertise for a family training day it's not a good look to change things like this at the last minute.

Anyway, that's my labour day winge.

We clearly have a lot of work to do in this area. Surely it can't be that hard.

Still no team. Can't even make the delayed start time! I have watched an hour of the Vince and Howe show so far.

Still only Howe and Vince here.

I can understand why some people would be frustrated - it shouldn't be too hard to advertise a time and stick to it without a late change and further delays. Hopefully players start showing up soon, or more people will start to leave.

It's not a whinge at all.

It's pathetic by the club, people have kids to organize and places to be & not everyone can check social media 100% of the time for updates, especially when the updated comes through 1 hour before the advertised time.

Lots of family's have already left without seeing a player.

Sitting here waiting for the team to turn up, can't help but think that this club really does treat it's supporters with a degree of contempt. Waiting for well over an hour now.

I've given up, my highlights: seeing the kids running along side Howe and the 2 snags I had.

Can't even get on the track for a revised start time. Nice big waste of time.

By all accounts here a shocking treatment of supporters once again from the MFC. Glad I didn't rush down in my lunch break for a half hour.

Shocking effort by the club.

While the club will say it has improved off field this is by far the biggest downfall in the way it interacts with its supporter base.

First the intra club and now this. Not good enough from a professional organization.

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
