Would just like to highlight this game to be played vs Sydney on Sunday. 

All the game day details: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Team/match-day-information

Summary:

  • Family Festival from 11.00 am
  • Field of Women - 1.00 pm, where everyone is invited to go onto the center of the MCG.
  • First Bounce -  3.20 pm

For those who haven't had a chance to go onto the MCG it is quite an experience, more so it being for a good cause.  Last time I went it was quite moving.

Special jumper will be worn by mfc players:

 

Its a game Jim Stynes hugely backed along with Raylene Boyle, long before he fell ill.

Its a great cause and its great that mfc is participating again.

Have been to all of them. BC has reared its ugly head in my family. The game I look out for every year. 

I have also been to all of them. I have lost my mum to BC since the last Field of Women. I will be there on Sunday in her memory.

I can only reiterate what an amazing feeling it is to be in the middle of the MCG in a sea of pink.

Really impressive to be using the 'power' of the 'G in this way. Even going on after a game for a bit of silly kick-to-kick makes you feel like the proverbial whole world could be watching, so I must really be something special to actually be out there for a good reason.

From the outside, it seems like it has become almost a pilgrimage for many, to share a moment of solidariy and visibility over what I'm told can be a very isolating and lonely experience.

Respect to the club, but most of all, thoughts with everyone experiencing cancer, both medically and socially.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
