    Good question

    If they actually put content that we wanted into the members email, then we would know these things

    Totally agree.

    The MFC website is just about the worst in the league for important information like intra-club matches. Dogs and Hawthorn have already announced matches on their website.

    Cameron Bruce was just on the channel 10 news talking about Neita being captain for 2007, and said it would still be 1-2 weeks before they start playing intra clubs in the lead up to the NAB Cup, and said it was too early to tell if any of the new recruits would be in line for round 1 as he hadn't seen any of them play in a game situation yet.

    WJ reported a week ago that he understood there would be an intraclub at Moorabbin and one at TDome. Obviously, not finalised yet.

    Personally, I'm not too big a fan of these intraclub practice matches so early in the season. A four game NAB Cup and/or practice match series is enough lead up for a season that's already very long. One or two intraclubs is enough.

    No training this morning at Trinity.

    Practice match at Moorabbin 2.00 today.

    I hope some one can go and make a report.

    What a day to plan the match predicted 38C.

    How come?

    Pretty sure it was canceled due to the heat, or possibly moved to a different time.

    How come?

    Too hot, maybe moved it to a day it is cooler

    If we lose the NAB Cup opener against Hawthorn we'll be playing a practice match against the loser of Adelaide and Port on Sat Mar 3 in Mount Gambier.

    Ofcourse if we win, we play the winner of Essendon and Carlton in Launceston the same night.

    Great work there with the videos, George. I like Buckley's work in the first clip.

    Is that Buckley in Blue #3? He's on fire in that clip!

    Cheers for the update george. That was quick!

    And yes, that is Buckley in blue #3 in the first clip. Looks like he is quite good in traffic. I always thought he was a very outside player. Perhaps with the bulk he has added the last few months, he is now becoming more confident and developing an inside game? All I know is he is looking better and better. Will hopefully be a mover this year!

    Moloney is also looking fit. Cant wait to see his passion for the jumper out there again :D

    Launceston? Is that confirmed?

    I'm keeping a very close and keen eye on his development this year. I reckon there's a massive upside to the kid.

    I hope he gets a run in the NAB.

    Sorry to dissapoint guys but #3 in the first clip is Chris Johnson not Simon Buckley. Although that is good signs for CJ. Buckley is doing the agility runs in the bottom right hand corner in the second clip.

    They certainly looked similar to me in that clip. But I think you're right. And that is a good sign.

    Correct, it is CJ in that clip. Chris is also featured in a couple of the stills. He has a tape on his knee.

    Both Fan and I had problems trying to differentiate between the two all day, although Buckley without his top on is far more muscled.

    We were utterly confused by Godfrey who kept changing tops with others.....for a while we thought Heath Neville was an inside ball-magnet.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
