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?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
