I have heard that only four players attended the publicised post-match function in Brisbane last night, and all four had less than 10 games experience.

Can someone who is in Brisbane and went along confirm this?

Added to the shorts issue... doesn't expect speak volumes for how well we are travelling off the field, let alone on it.

    Apparently only Garland, Newton and Buckley turned up to the post match function according to Demon Storm on the Match Review thread.

    This might seem like a naive question, but aren't these things compulsory?

    Each of the three boys were interviewed by Fagan. Pretty standard stuff but all four (Garland, Newton, Buckley and Fagan) hung around for awhile and spoke in some detail with anyone who was keen.

    They should have made the effort to turn up.

    I've been to post match-functions in Adelaide, where we normally get spanked, and most players eventually make their way in and out of the function. They don't stay long as they fly back the same night, but at least they make the effort.

    Really disappointing for the Brisbane supporters who wait all year to watch Melbourne play and meet the players... but hey, at least you got to be in the presence of greatness, given Newton turned up ;)

    Juice seemed quite humbled by the experience - thrown a little I think by the fact so many people living up here seemed to already know so much about him.

    I heard Crackers Keenan on radio last week suggest that he could "talk himself up a bit" which concerned me a little but he seemed anything but that last night claiming he just wanted to keep his possie in the team. He certainly came across as very level-headed. The same could be said of Garland and Buckley. We had a very skinny spine playing last night.

    it was good to meet the new stars of mfc, , though i thought frawley,jones, bate also missing from the young stars list, and good for deb to give them a letter to pass on to Neale as well

    It was not good enough on the clubs part. Cannot blame the young guys. It would be a little daunting for most young people to have to front a crowd. Should have bought Bruce and Green up to do this duty if the playing seniors were not up to attending.

    I suspect there will be a lot of complaints to the club and that we will see an apology on the MFC website in due course.

    Totally agree. The MFC Admin has slipped back in 2007 also! Have been signs of less effort to encourage the average supporters all year. Think that MFC Admin thought that they'd done enough by gettting the AFL to accept the MCC/MFC reduced memberships in the membership totals in 2007.

    Doesn't make any sense at all. Firstly is once a year opportunity for Qld members to meet the players and have a function. Secondly as the club in same week announced promotion moving into 150th year in 2008 should be doing everything possible to encourage existing supporters this year!

    I don't see the need for wild speculation Tony. The MFC Admin staff do not think that.

    Can't find any apology !!!!!!!

    I gave up going to aftermatch functions some time back for this very reason. Would rather have a drink in the Hassett Room after a home game with good atmosphere, friends and also get some players turn up.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
