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.

    Any idea of final scores? (Just to see goal/behind ratio)

    Tomlinson vs Weideman in the ruck and tommo won easily in one of the clips

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
