Somewhere, in one of the training threads the Sunshine Coast training dates were asked about.  Club announcement: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-01-17/sunshine-coast-session-on-the-horizon

Open training "will take place on Saturday, February 4 at the Maroochydore Multi-Sports Complex.  Merchandise will be available to purchase and supporters will have the opportunity to meet the players and get autographs after the training has concluded".

    I like the implied importance. Selling merchandise is seemingly given priority over meeting the players.

    I don't actually have a problem with a "money first" attitude. If that's what is wanted, I would have thought promoting meeting the players as the priority would result in the sale of more merchandise anyway.

    (But don't take this or my previous comment too seriously.)

    I don't think anyone did LDC, just lamenting the AFL's attitude to just about everything.

    Old dee, it seems that 2017 has started in a similar way to 2016...with you continuing to avoid being optimistic at all costs! I suspect I'm the yang to your yin.

    I feel very confident the MFC will improve substantially.

    However that confidence does not extend to the AFL.

    They are IMO an old boys club run by a not very talented old boy.

    LDC this time last year I said we would win ten games vs six the year before.

    I don't think that makes me a pessimist.

    And this year  I believe we will win 13 and 14 if the injury God smiles on us.

    I see no problem or such an implication. I think it's finding the devil where none exists.

    The announcement is only stating the obvious order of things. The Merchandise stall will be open from early on and right until the end, whereas the players will only be available after training has concluded.

    Later posts attribute the imagined ills of this announcement to the AFL. Come on, since when have football clubs not had to raise money, it happens at all levels and all sports.

    In the end, if players were willing to play, coaches and support staff willing to provide their services and administrators willing to administer for peanuts, then costs would be much lower, but we would still like to see a large group of supporters in obvious support of the club by wearing its paraphernalia.

    I really hope the injury God smiling is a good sign. I'd hate think the injury God smiling is a symbol of his own malevolence.

    And it is only 18th Jan. It usually takes another month before the humour starts to drain from posters dc.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
