I've heard they're negotiating with McDonalds to rename it the McG.

Didnt realize it was still April 1st.

Imagine naming a stadium after some lame American comic book thingy where all the movies are flooded with horrible looking CGI and no plot.

Well done Gil.  Moron.

I prefer the MCG!

Sadly renaming the soulless concrete box will not make it any more welcoming, nor the viewing any better.  Can’t polish a turd.

Will be great for kids

I agree with this. Kids will love this. Disney, Marvel and the AFL have a great opportunity from an entertainment perspective.

How appropriate

The stadium is named after the people who brought you Mickey Mouse

Self descript of the organisation that inhabits the Stadium and runs this competition

Ohh the irony.

Ewwww DC is crud.

I want to see the roof painted like Cap. Americas shield, better have tony stark like technology inside and if your team is doing shitty you should be able to unleash a Hulk on your team!

And if people are acting like wankérs then a stuffed toy unicorn drops into their lap.

yep.. agree... the frequent name changes have made sure that it is forever known as Docklands.

Hell.. I still think you get off at Spencer Street Station :)

As an aside I was reading yesterday that Etihad (the airline) is not sailing as well as it once was with route reductions and a removal of the large government subsidy it receives from the Abu Dhabi government.

Makes sense that they have stopped the sponsorship...

Any chance the MCG will ever sell naming rights? 

I've heard they're negotiating with McDonalds to rename it the McG.

Seriously? Like he had a choice of movie studios or franchises to choose from? How, exactly, do you think these deals get done?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
