Hot tip: BYO food and beverage. The queues at the vendors’ vans are criminally long. At a W final last season my DA bestie went to buy a coffee at halftime and missed the entire third quarter. And that was with a crowd of only 2,500. If you do decide to queue up, make sure you have your phone on you so as you can watch the match while you queue; there are no big screens down there.

OLD MAN ALERT:

The team sheet on the MFC site hurts my eyeballs.  Not the players on it - the font, the sizing and the spacing. Took me way longer to figure out who is playing (and where) than is necessary. 

Hopefully that is my only gripe with the MFC today.

if we lose, I'm microwaving my membership and writing off the season.

You could probably just leave it outside in this heat and let Mother Nature do her work.

Here in the far west,  it has started drizzling and is overcast.  Not much rain yet.  Very light drizzle.  It’s about 20C. But will not reach 35. Unless this all lifts and becomes sunny.  So it might cool down.

Get the points tonight Dee’s

I dont think its televised.

Does Demonland have a rep there to provide updates to desperate DL forum members?? The club should provide stand seats for DL reps.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
