Anybody know when, who or where some practice matches are taking place?

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
