Don’t you read the MFC website?  
I fear as so have said before that D/Landers think this is an all embracing medium to head about Club matters. Well it ain’t !

The AFl and Melbournefc websites are compulsive reading for up to date info etc. on all other footy matters.

Is about time D/Lers got smart and realise how really narrow this forum is.  
 It resembles to be honest Trade Radio in  a lot of the posts. Then a gem or two restores your faith in this medium. 

 

 

Thanks for that helpful comment, you're a real winner mate.  Of course I read it first and I couldn't find the date or any info about it so maybe I was looking in the wrong spot but that's why I posted here.  It's not your job to teach everyone how to be better humans, perhaps a benefit of the doubt sometimes wouldn't go astray.  

You went to the trouble of posting that and still didn't tell me when it was on, then you have a crack at other DL'ers?  You really do epitomize the "internet forum legend".

    You know what I'm looking again on the website and still can't find it so how about you stop being a chump and help a brother out when he asks you to.

    Tomorrow's B&F will be juicier than a P Diddy indictment hearing.

    Thank s for your response Angus. Yes I get a bit cheeky but really some D/Landers need PA’s they are that bad at obtaining basic Club administration. 

    The Band F has been in the club website for a bout 6 weeks with. Red and blue front page. Many if those pages do look the same. 
    tbf there had not been much on D/Land until about a week ago.!

    But Angus surely you read the article about Trac going to Austria ( with club permission) for a Red  Bull training camp and he will miss the B and F on the 4 th tomorrow night. 

    Cheers

    Nobody is forcing you to listen to or read it, but then again what would have to whinge about if you didn't, try getting out more.

    Thank you, yes I see you get a bit cheeky from time to time and I get it, I just try not to be in that category of DL'ers that make you get cheeky so you riled me up, I'm feeling particularly sensitive today being my favorite player whom I own a bobble head figurine of is looking to go to the stinking cats (could always be worse I guess).  I really did have a look myself first before posting on here so I tried to not be the average slack forum user, I do agree and I always go check the website first.  Next time I'll start with that hey ;)

    Our website is a complete and utter joke. And has been for a long time.

    I hardly visit it at all. And almost never for club related info like match day stuff or events.

    It's beyond ridiculous that in 2024 a professional sporting club could have a website so embarrassingly amateurish.

    Symptomatic of our woeful comms.

    Might be the first B&F where everyone is told to bring their mouth guards

    I think many posters are confusing tonight's event with the AGM. 
    The B&F is tightly scripted. It begins with highlights of the first six rounds and vote totals are posted.
    A number of awards are presented eg Jim Stynes Community involvement award etc. Very short speeches.
    Another six rounds of highlights and votes.
    A meal break.
    More presentations and a speech by the Pres. It'll be very positive without controversy I suspect.
    More highlights and votes.
    More presentations - best first year player etc.
    Goodwin's speech - all positive, nothing controversial.
    Final rounds and tallies.
    I've attended more than a dozen going back to the nineties (run at Melbourne Town Hall with about 300 in attendance).
    That includes the Neeld years - a very depressing few years but you wouldn't have known it as the B&F was all positives.
    Previous years have seen the club song sung with gusto at the end. Not sure that will happen tonight.
    I can't see a donnybrook breaking out. Any attempt by an attendee to ask a question will be shut down.

    The program may be closely scripted, but anytime you have a room full of unhappy supporters it's going to be unpredictable.

    I understand what you're saying but IMO the Neeld years when we won a total of four (?) games saw a room full of very unhappy supporters.

    Yes I am not very happy about Clarry possibly going he deserves some fortune but must perhaps realise that he is 27 not 17. He needs to attempt if he can to not only have footy in his life but find another girl to replace his previous one in his life. 
    I am also concerned we may not be tough enough negotiators in the process.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
