Brilliant to be training on the G.  Could someone explain the history of why we are not training there all the time and why we cannot  make a case for it. I have always got the fact other Clubs play home games there, but not thee MFC no training aspect. 

3+ games on it within a few days each week is enough traffic on it especially in winter with little sun

    If my memory serves me right it was mutual.

    The centre square was the cricket pitch (Merri soil) and was roped off and often covered.This made training difficult so we would use the old Scotch Oval IIRC.Then we moved to Junction Oval

    So that it can be like a bowling green every week?

    I remember a time when a bit of mud and a few puddles here and there was considered quite acceptable on a footy ground.

    MFC will be providing full coverage post game on the website. Two full teams of 18 v 18  with 4 available on the bench. 40 fit players - yea!

    I heard it was to be 18 vs 17 to make sure we get a win

    It must be something to do with keeping the turf in decent condition, otherwise you’d think we could do it. Every single other club has their own training ground, as we are aware! We wouldn’t be to train on it during the summer, tho’.

    Our next opponent should be Essendrug next week, why should other teams get the full benefits of a compromised situation, whilst we are totally disadvantaged 

    Fix it up AFL. You pay yourselves enough

    I totally agree with you on this, we should have the advantage of this situation.

    It is absurd and obviously hasn’t been thought through

    Not a bad fix at all. Love seeing Hunt dash with the ball, involved in quite a few goals.

    No weid or Tmac goals...

    Good to see some Harley Bennell Class in that goal.

    If My maths/eyesight is correct:
    Red 10 Goals Blue 9 Goals

    Red Goakickers: 4 Melksham, 2 Fritsch, 1 Bennell, Hanna, Hunt, Pickett

    Blue Goalkickers: 3 Brown, 2 Spargo, 1 Bedford, Jordan, C Wagner, Neal-Bullen

    Happy to be corrected if someone saw these differently

    Concerningly no goals to Tommy Mac or Weeds

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
