sue 9,277 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Good to see the AFL have confirmed the 10am start. While not defending either MFC's website in general (or North's) for being so quiet, it could be that they could say nothing until the AFL had signed off on the 'rumour'. I see that the Carlton StKilda game is still at 11. Will be interesting to see if Melb beats North in getting it onto their websites...... 1

If you type in into Google Maps guess what! 😀 Yep, of course. But in 2025 99% of organizations that want you to know where they are, or want to promote an event, embed the address and google maps INTO the relevant page on their website. Why do they do that? So the customer doesn't have to navigate to another web page or site. If the customer does have to do so there is a risk they won't bother - not to mention making the org look like total amateurs. By the by, the Arden Street ground is ALSO on McCauley Road. 3

Ghostwriter 5,460 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 This is where the Demon Army will be for both matches on Saturday. It’s the end of the ground where Arden St and Macaulay Rd meet. 1 1

BAMF 4,484 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 One of my best mates is a Carlton member. He has equal continued gripes about the disorganised communication from Carlton that we do. Mate : "Can I come into this pre-game function room? My membership says I can" Carlton: "Nah mate. Next room for you" Mate: "I've been through this before. My membership grants me access" Carlton: "Definitely not. You are mistaken" Mate: "Here is the terms of my membership and an email from the club sent to me after I enquired last time you refused me. It says I'm allowed in" Carlton: "I'll check with someone" Ten minutes later Carlton "Yeah, ok. Just this once." Serves him right. 1 1
Kev 10,926 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) The match sim will consist of four 25-minute quarters, plus game-specific simulations at the end of the second and fourth quarters. What does the highlighted part mean for the sim against North? Are they going to change scores, start play from specific areas of the ground, set the time, bring on and off players before they start a set, interesting words. An example could be, we will they ask North to go 3 points ahead with 60 seconds of play left, or vice versa. Edited February 19 by kev martin 1 2

North have done this the last 2 years in their match sims vs Richmond and Collingwood. It might give both clubs an opportunity to chase a close deficit in one scenario and hold a close lead in the other. We need practice in this area as we lost a lot of close ones last year.

Demongirl35 1,135 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I’m hoping we try different scenarios in this game. See what our forward looks like with - Johnson , JVR and Turner - Jeffo JVR and Turner or - Johnson and JVR - Jeffo and JVR Hope to see sharp on the wings and then forward Langdon wing then middle Langford middle than Forward K.brown in the forward 1

rpfc 29,029 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 23 hours ago, Adam The God said: How can the club not get its act together with the website? Socials have absolutely improved this year, but we have an older supporter base, who are much more likely to use the website to seek information. We need to do so much better. Our supporter base Googles ‘Facebook’ and gets their information there. … Its actually a big problem writ large 1

At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Will the match (soz simulation) be live streamed anywhere? On club's website ... or Kayo?

We all saw how much is absence affected us last season. I would much prefer he played the last 80% of the reason rather than rush him back for the early part of the season.

If fans turned up (say 15k plus) it would probably be a disaster from a crowd management/facilities viewpoint. I think they would want sub 2k at most
Bring-Back-Powell 15,552 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 For those wanting to watch the game live on Foxtel it appears to be on channel 505 at 10am (at this stage) 4

I think they would want sub 2k at most If 15k turned up it would definitely be a disaster. Capacity is officially 4k. And many will be bringing camp chairs. I think the weather will put many people off. Regardless, there’ll be way more of their supporters than ours.
