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

    One of my favourite posts ever on DL. I loved that show as a kid.

    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)

    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

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
