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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
