Just thinking ahead - the MFC are promoting a "Red & Blue Army Walk to the MCG" from Federation Square to the MCG on June the 9th - before our clash against Collingfilth.

How many Red & Blue Army members (IE MFC members/supporters) are going to participate in this?

If we can't get crowds to the game, how are we going to get people to join in this? Going to look bloody ordinary if no-one turns up.

Moose :blink:

OK, now we are 7 days away from the 'Red & Blue ARmy' walk from Federation Sq to the MCG and our player ranks are suffering, I'll ask the question again,

Who is going to participate in the walk before the game against the filth next week?

I said this to my dad this morning, it's such a shame that this amazing milestone had to come in such a terrible year. Can you imagine what the response to our 150th birthday would be if we were having a year (or start) like 2005? The march would be massive. But no, it had to come during one of our worst on-field patches of all time, the footy gods sure know how to mess with us.

Still i'll be there to make up the numbers, and i'll drag a couple of my mates along.

Ill watch the 50 or so people walking.

I'm coming from Brisvegas for this and dragging my best mate with me. I'll be spewing if this walk doesn't get the support it deserves. We sit back and complain about how little the club does for us and then abandon them as soon as they find a creative and original way of uniting the supporter group. The apathy shown already on this thread confirms the perceptions of opposition supporters.

If this: http://sportal.com.au/AFL-news-display/kan...urnaround-49635 doesn't fire people up I not sure what will.

"the struggling Melbourne Football Club now appearing to have taken over the mantle as the league's most vulnerable club - something Demetriou himself recently admitted."

We condemn our team for their lack of heart and courage and fire. Well how about we start showing a little.

Fire up people. This is our Grand Final.

I want to be there, but my best friend is leaving the country for good that afternoon, so I'll be spending the morning with her.

I'll be at the game though.

Posted
I'll be there with mum, dad, sister and girlfriend.

I would not miss this for anything. Put money on the Dees to upset the Pies.

Hey Wreck I need clarification, is that 3 or 4 people accompanying you? :o

Hope for a fine day. If it's miserable weather, the turnout will be terrible.

I'm also not sure how convenient it is for people who drive to games and park at the 'G...although there's CBD parking near Fed Square, and towards the 'G, it is a reasonable walk and some won't be keen on it.

Hopefully some kids get excited about it, and it might be a good opportunity for some families to get to a game, as it won't clash with local sport.

I said this to my dad this morning, it's such a shame that this amazing milestone had to come in such a terrible year.

Yeah, I agree.

It's also rather early - 11:30?!? Some people (ahem) aren't even up by then, let alone in the city ;)

2 here def coming, as for parking try Crown Casino $ 6.00 parking all day but if you have a crown card with enough points then its free, easy to get to Federation Square or to the G

Lets hope our faithfull can show the Knockers we are proud RED AND BLUE and celebrate our 150 years

Queen’s Birthday Blockbuster

Get ready for our biggest game of our 150th year – our annual Queen’s Birthday Blockbuster against Collingwood – this Monday at the MCG.

On the Monday morning before our Queen’s Birthday Blockbuster, we are calling on the entire Red and Blue Army to gather at Federation Square to celebrate our 150th Birthday at the Red and Blue Army Walk to the MCG.

At least 100 past players - including Robert Flower, Shane Woewodin, Brett Lovett, Andrew Leoncelli and Hassa Mann - will be joining supporters from all over the world for the walk, and the first 500 to show up wearing red and blue will receive a free breakfast.

The Red and Blue Army Walk to the MCG has been planned to provide all supporters with a chance to celebrate our 150th together.

The Walk to the MCG and Queen’s Birthday Blockbuster will be preceded by what looms as one of the biggest nights in our Club’s history, when our 150 Playing Heroes are announced in front of over 1,200 guests at Crown Palladium.

Is there a curtain raiser? Unless the walk takes 2 hours it's going to be a long wait for the past player parade at 1:45. I want to go but don't want to be sitting around bored for hours.

Nothing could keep me away!! Travelling with the family from Canberra.

You'd think if big Jimmy was serious about becoming prez, he'd start by making a good impression in joining to the walk to the G with the fans and members, get amongst the people and all that.

It'll be a great experience to march with some of the greats of the club, something i've looked forward to from the moment i heard about it.

Posted

the first 500 to arrive get a free breakfast at 9:30. I think i'll sleep in and aim to get there around 11. Count me in!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
