No such thing as 'only a scratch match' !   This is the only MFC action this week as we arent playing March series.

Important first hit out of the season for two of your young stars in Brayshaw and Fristch.

Pickett on show again.  Another chance for Mitch brown to impress ahead of Round 1.

Jordon, Rivers, Sparrow., Bradtke....  so much potential there.

Can Bedford step up and show what hes capable of?

I'm still surprised that Luke Jackson isn't playing. I get that they want to manage the loads of the younger players and perhaps they have him earmarked for early senior games so they don't want him to burn out. If that isn't the case then I'm baffled that he isn't playing in this game where he can get a taste of the ruck or play as a key forward or even some midfield minutes. I hope it's not this weeks mystery injury of the week.

It also could mean that they are still unsure of when Gawn will be back, so safe guarding our depleted ruck stocks.

The fact that we have to add 8 VFL players versus only 1 by North suggests to me we are going into this game under manned.

My gut feel suggests like last week we will be in for a poor result scores wise.

this is a bit disappointing. At least i can see others have the same issue and its not my PC, or inability to log in using my memebership.

Which doesn't matter one bit.  Why would it?

It's all about fitness and getting some run into the legs.  Nothing more.

Exactly I hate losing as much as the next guy but this scratch match is about getting run in the legs, game time into kids and hopefully no injuries.

As Burgess has previously stated, it's about getting the miles into the legs for the entire list, ready for round 1.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
