Dee's training next week is causing a Breast cancer fundraising game for Cranbourne footy club to be shifted this weekend.. no lights therefore night time and the function is off.

this is crap - just fucken fix it Dee's!

 

I believe that the MFC is also holding a fund raiser before their scheduled training session. If the Cranbourne Eagles are inconvenienced perhaps some compensation can be paid or an alternative day for their fund raiser could be organised. It doesn't seem to be either clubs fault on appearances just a shame that the ground has had heavy rainfall recently. 

 

I missed this post completely: good on you blokes for contacting the club about it, pretty big guy vs little guy material.

Council decision - highly likely we had nothing to do with it. 


 The tabloid press is trying to paint our football club as a cold and callous corporation, ignorant of the community it represents.

It is not as if the club has forced the battlers of Cranbourne to move their Charity Dinner just so we can train .

But if they cause us any more issues they should be crushed,have their clubhouse leveled and any trace of their existence wiped from the pages of history.

They've gone from market gardeners to movers and shakers.

Upstarts.

First paragraph:

But the council says the surface is not fit for football and the match would have been moved, regardless of whether Melbourne was training.

Melbourne FC training forces Cranbourne Eagles off Casey Fields oval

 

WTF Journalism!?

no Journalism........ just  WTF !! :rolleyes:

Exactly. Everything you need to know is in the second sentence of the article. The rest is dross - apart from the repetition of the point made in the second sentence repeated two-thirds of the way down, just in case a reader missed the key point the first time.


Spot on as mentioned above.

Also there's no reason the dinner/fundraiser etc can't proceed.  They move the matches to Oval 2 during the day and the dinner/fundraiser takes place at the completion of the matches instead of before hand like what was initially planned.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
