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

    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.

    Isn't that meant to be "..a rats toss bag.. ".

    According to Blighty anyway.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
