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 was a draw DC, nobody scored in the second half.

It is absurd and obviously hasn’t been thought through

The umpires gave everything against the Demons.  We cant take a trick!

[Pulp Fritschon 764]

Gee Harley looks good in that traditional jumper

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

I have the DVD's of every episode.

Good to see Fritsch’s radar back on track with 2 or 3 set shots nailed (unless he also kicked 5 behinds with it...)

[Mickey 4,731]

Saw Weid give a handball and that was it ?

[Watts the matter 1,235]

A lot of goals for the B team early! Did they mix the teams in the second half to avoid the embarrassment? 

[Dee Zephyr 19,268]

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

[Watts the matter 1,235]

Was that 3 or 4 goals from 50m penalties to the light blue team? Undisciplined.

[dazzledavey36 55,358]

No weid or Tmac goals...

Good to see some Harley Bennell Class in that goal.

[sue 9,145]

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

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Going by those highlights...

We dominated.

[joshua 74]

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

Brayshaw started in royal blue.

Wasn't dropped this week but is the FD considering he's on the fringe?

worrying to say the least

[DemonDave 1,092]

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

[TheKozzieExperience 258]

A grand total of 0  goals combined for Weid and T Mac.  Horrible.

We will need to go shopping for a legitimate key forward next trade period.
