Which MFC players do you leave out of the hub
There is a chance some players will withdraw of their own accord if they have young kids, expecting kids or family to care for.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Agree there is not much to lose and plenty to gain in PR remembering he was a star in to hell and back

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Not expensive at all, he is on minimum wage. I don't expect him to last once the lists are culled.
- Do you want to win the premiership?

Ray Biffin on SEN - 28 April, 2020
Awesome surname
-
Ed Langdon Adapts
he is no fuss, knows how to play his role, with years of footy to come, and has fitted in perfectly. a steal at for the picks we gave up
-
Russell Howcroft to MCC board
didn't appear to achieve a whole lot in his time at mfc and wouldn't want him back again but having a mfc supporters voice on the mcc board is probably a positive
-
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
No player is truly on the edge of a return until they have done match practice or played vfl. can't see him holding up under those conditions to be honest but will be rapt if he does. his hiring is starting to feel more like a PR exercise than anything else

DEBT DEMOLITION
There might not be a next year as there is no garantee all clubs will survive especially those getting annual afl / mcc hand outs ... when assets get devalued as is happening now, banks come calling to recoup debt ... mfc need to do everything they can now and in the next few years ... suspect they will be calling on only wealthy supporters to help initially ... without income mfc staff will also lose jobs

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
Clubs would know already what is happening and all signs are they are getting ready to play. I'm sure the AFL want to roll out a more comprehensive plan and hence are taking a little more time ... including some positive news on ways for members and supporters can watch the games

Most Valuable Demon
The MVP is heavily influenced by how good the player is, whether they play are more specialised positron, the quality of their replacement in that position, and how well the team can adapt to cover for them. For those reasons, quality talks and forwards tend to be MVP's. The wing is also an important role for us to fill as we found out last year. Tmac, May, Gawn, Oliver, Melk in that order. Langdon, Fritch, Viney (if uninjured) may emerge as mvp contenders as the year goes on

Jake Lever - Our next captain?
He has the great leadership skills to go with his communication skills. However, is it just me or does he come across as being a touch happy with himself which might be perceived as not being as selfless as others.
-
Nathan Jones the best kick at MFC
Hibberd is the one we have probably forgotten. Booming kick with penetration. Hopefully we see a lot more of it this season
-
AFL are a disgrace
Appreciate the overzealous official was out of line but hardly a third world problem
-
What is missing to win a flag?
We need our own Dusty ... it's no co-incidence that Richmond has dominated in the same period he has become arguably the best player in the comp. Without him they are just another team in the top 8
-
Coronavirus & Other Sports
with the grand prix cancelled, the precedent for cancelling populated events has been set. l suspect the season will be postponed. All that needs to happen to put the nail in the coffin (and it will happen soon enough) is that an afl player tests positive .. sorry for the negative view but seems inevitable to me

Training 2020
That's because they are self isolating under the beard

Injury List 2020
Weideman ankle should be fine Bennell light calf strain (that's two now and he hasn't started match sim or matches for points) Salem recovering and good for round 1 (I prefer he takes a little longer to recover and comes back via VFL to avoid relapse other issues) AVB different injury to original one (l'm still very concerned) https://www.afl.com.au/news/384774/luckless-dee-set-to-miss-season-opener-after-another-setback

Jeremy Howe Takes Swipe at Dees
An understatement to suggest we are a touch sensitive
-
Injury List 2020
Please no ... AVB would be 4 to 6 weeks and not play afl again this year!
-
Believe in the Dees
You have posted a number of times on this forum, as have l, are our lives really that interesting that we can't afford time for a 30 sec new gen clip ?. For the record l'm not in the target demographic but enjoyed it just the same
-
Nathan Jones AFL Life Membership
Our modern day Robbie Flower! Stayed loyal to the club when there was no reason to do so and coincidently wore the same number 2.

Believe in the Dees
Cool little clip, and nothing wrong with it. Perfect for sharing on social media to new generations of mfc supporters. Recall a number of initially negative reactions to the doco series also and most now agree it was will done

To Hell & Back: Episode 5
Those that knocked these doco's when they were first launched should have a rethink ... they are well done, are getting clicks which translate into memberships and sales, and provide fans with rare inner sanctum viewing the likes of which we haven't seen since 'Whiteboard Wednesday' with Cameron !!!
