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.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
