MFC has created an Advent Calendar. 

Behind each number there are highlights of the player that wears that number, with a few Chrissie tunes in the background. 

DEC 1: HOGAN

 

DAY 2:  JONES

 

The Advent Calendar and each player can be followed from the twitter feed on MFC website or on their fb page.

 

Nice touch by the club! image.png.24abfa386d56c697a8e8884a2f095627.pngENJOY!

Day 4 should be a treat

I think the most tactful way to do it would be to do a "history" of the number and include the likes o Peter Giles (80-87), Tony Campbell (88-91), Chris Sullivan (92-94), Andrew Obst (95-97), Brent Grgic (98-01), Craig Ellis (02-03), Ben Holland (04-08) and then the other guy who's name escapes me because it's never ever mentioned on this site.

Or they could get creative with photoshopping Harmesy's 3 out of his footage or just show footage of him from front on or from only on the 4 side.

Or the next logical option is to highlight AFLW player Karen Paxman.

The Salem video: there are several shots of seagulls featured in the first half dozen frames. When the heightened 'snow' comes it strikes as if Christian has trampled all over them in some horrific aftermath. I wouldn't let my kids watch this.

DAY 4:

?

Its afternoon and no sign of a number 4...I wonder if the production people somehow forgot that some players are no longer at the club and the club is now uncertain what to do... 

If they skip Watts, they also need to skip Trengove, Garland etc.  But they were part of the club for 2017 so there is some basis for letting them have their day. 

I also like Demonland's idea to use clips of the AFLW players that wear the number. 

Hopefully, there is a video up soon showcasing someone wearing #4.

Extremely crass and unwelcome indeed. BBJW. Or at least RIPJW and let the jumper rest for a preseason before using it in marketing videos.

The last I looked, Harmes was our number 4.  Not sure what the big deal is.

I also expect to see footage of Lever in an Adelaide jumper when it's day 8.

People seriously need to HTFU.

Just watching those highlights of Viney, I often forget how seriously good he is.  I always know he's good, but realistically, he's seriously good.

This will be a big call, but I think he's every bit as good as Selwood at the same age, and is tracking on the same trajectory.  If Viney had a midfield/flankers around him that included Ablett, Bartel, Chapman, Johnson, Corey, Enright and Mackie, Jack would be considered a superstar of the competition.

Easily our most important player, and you only needed to watch that first quarter of the West Coast game to know what he's capable of.

Is that one of santa's little alfs?

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
