Hawk the Demon

No mention of Harmesy?

We should be playing North, who finished 10th - haven't seen any details yet?

Crowd yesterday was 50,142, making home average at the MCG this year 48,786

How about we finish 3rd and play Collingwood, who finish 2nd because the Bombers knock them off next Friday night (and Freo beat Port this weekend)?

No Harmes?

Bonnie Doon?

Here are the numbers for our home games excluding Alice: 1. Western Bulldogs 48,103 3 Sydney 42,423 6 Richmond 83,985 7 North 29,455 11 Freo 29,154 12 Carlton 49,872 13 Collingwood 83,578 18 Brisbane 38,030 19 Adelaide 33,122 Average 48,636 Hawthorn to come of course

Looks like it's on Channel 7.

There were two different MFC functions yesterday - the Ron Barassi Bequest Society and the Foundation Heroes event. Gary Pert was at the latter.

Maybe it is a restriction applicable to the Caulfield Racecourse Reserve Trust or incorporated in its Land Management Plan?

More interested in the MFC. Three vacancies on our Board this year - but, in the past, somehow (as if by magic) the vacancies get filled - just before the Director nomination period opens. We are due for a new Chair of the Nominations Committee - I wonder who that will be? Maybe we will get an improved process.

Heard 21 year lease. Two ovals. Building to house admin and football department. $15 million needed from us - come on down Foundation Heroes and Legends.

'Start construction of new Melbourne home based facility by 2023'. Better late than never....

Casey played a scratch match against the Saints on that bye weekend.

And Tomlinson named in the 18 which normally means they will not be an omission when the final team drops.

MFC Strategic Paln Target 2020-23: 75,000. Guess it was a stretch?

Yep, but Rachele and Laird played for them last week - we haven't had Clayton since Port and Fritta since GWS.

No Laird or Rachele helps us this week...

And many supporters gather at the Waterfront Hotel pre-game, right where the ferry docks - then a 10/15 minute walk up to the ground....I don't think tickets will be a problem....

Newspaper reports indicating it was a very low-key scratch match against the Saints at Casey - 15 per side. He kicked one goal, attended four centre square ball-ups and 16 disposals, i.e. did not transform into Tony Lockett overnight. A closer watch will be Piranha Park next Saturday - 1.05 pm. Coburg haven't won a game this year....Our AFL game is on Sunday so let's pack the place out! Coburg that is, it's a northern suburb.....

Speaking of Wheels, I see he has left us to join the Eddie Betts Foundation. Nothing on the Club website.....

I agree. It would be good if the Club let us know how membership revenue was tracking against the prior year. We get no financial updates from the Club other than when the annual financial statements come out.

Membership record 67,049 revealed by the Club today. Now can we please have the breakdown? Last year's 66,484 represented 59,700 members with 42,250 members aged over 18. 17,357 junior members included within the 67,049.

We have a brand new MFC Nominations Committee now, with a new Chair. Maybe things will change this year?

MInimum 4 and maximum 10 forecast for Alice on Sunday - heat is NOT going to be a problem!
