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.. ".

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
