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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
