Satyriconhome... a silly oversight... I have put a new team sheet up in the Swan Street Milk Bar. Bring your gear and be in the rooms by 9:30. Cheers

Grand New Flag, I'll look out for you. I will be in jeans and red & blue

A historic morning indeed... this from the official MFC site. "LESS THAN one day after being vacated by Collingwood, Gosch's Paddock will become Melbourne's main training ground on Friday. The Demons will t ake to the ground, which was used almost exclusively by the Magpies, for their final training session ahead of Saturday's MCG clash with West Coast."

When you arrive at the recreational land south of Swan street tomorrow morning, take a few seconds to look out on the fenced off oval adjacent to Punt Road known as Gosch's Paddock. Be aware that it was Charles La Trobe (lieutenant-governor) who in 1839 showed great foresight in reserving this land for recreational purposes. The first game of Australian football was played in the Richmond Paddock, on the other side of the railway line to the north, in 1858. A year later Wills and Harrison drew up the first rules for our game in the Parade Hotel (now the MCG Hotel), which is just a short walk up the hill from the Paddock. This was only a few days after the Melbourne Football Club had been formed. So there you have it... Our great club predates the rules of the game under which we compete. Need I say anymore about our right to be here and our purpose in supporting the young men who now wear our colours? FIRST & FOREVER!

WAdee, maybe ring a local media outlet and let them know MFC supporters are gettng behind the playing group

Generation dee, that makes my day!

Thanks for Heading update!

Demon of1994, think 'viral'.

hogans_heroes, you have captured the purpose and spirit of the event beautifully!

Weather report for Friday 9:30am..."Mostly clear, 17"

Demonof1994, 24 hours to go & great stuff happening all over the place

A request to moderator / site manager... I would like to insert the word "Rally" in the heading for this thread, as in - Support the club, Rally at our open training session - Friday 12th April - 9:45am - Gosch's Paddock

I thought this quote from Dr Who over at 'Ology very relevant to what were trying to achieve on Friday morning. It comes from the thread about the volunteer membership drive. (the underlining and bold text are mine) "Go Dees First & Forever Just for the record this membership drive programme really opens your eyes to the real MFC. We have had ex-players (Stevie Powell) at our nights, Mark Neeld & Neil Craig. CS popped in and I got the chance to have a chat with him. You read so much rubbish about our club in the media - please sorry to take a Molly Meldrum quote - but "do yourself a favor" come and see the real MFC."

longsuffering, You're a champ!
