  1. This is brilliant. Now just imagine Richmond station being moved closer to the city around about gate 1 and opposite the tennis centre along with Hisense and Storms home ground.
  2. Double click on the photo.
  3. Perfect match. I never listen to them anyway. Can never forgive him for what he did to the game.
  4. Day release people must have been busy yesterday and centrelink must have thought it was a three day weekend.
  5. The noise generated by the Melbourne crowd that day you would have thought it was our home game.

    Your comments are spot on. I also have been a MCC/MFC member since 1993 but my MFC membership clicks over to 60 consecutive years this season. Seen the best and the worst and am really excited by our future.
  7. Purely at the time of the match, and just what it meant to Nathan, it would have to be his goal at the start of the last quarter of the elimination final against Geelong. In all the decades of following Melbourne I have never heard such a roar from around the ground, and it was the most loudest EVER from the members where I sit. Years ago I have been told to not barrack so loudly and sit down after a good goal but now I just blend into the crowd. The days of "good goal number 7" have gone. Thank god.
  8. The footy crowd is quite different in the members. There is chanting going on (could be better though) and the support for the Dee's is as strong as in any other part of the ground. I know the members reserve is only one qtr of the ground but for Melbourne matches it's the most packed part of the ground. The finals matches took the support to a new level.

    Well from a selfish point of view I didn't mind them so much and I could play golf on Saturday without rushing. That didn't help my score much. Your right though and without so many "graveyard" times (3:20) we may get more families coming along.

    Absolutely on the 17th @ 6:30 in MCC dining room.
  11. Going to watch Tom Swallow with great interest. He has size already but with a couple of pre-seasons under the belt I feel he will be a monster. Quite impressed with our pick-up's this year. No pressure on them but in a couple of years will start to push for selection.

    Can we find out how many games that the tenants are contracted for to play at the "G".
  13. Well done and thank you for your efforts. Very interesting. Love the last sentence. I still read it as "our" home ground owing to the fact that we are a club within the MCC. Be right or wrong I still wind up Coll & Rich supporting friends as being "tenants".
  14. You may be right but then my first thought is that if the MCC are the major tenant why do they pay for the upkeep and all major renovations of the ground? Wouldn't that be the responsibility of the trust then? As the MCC run the ground and the Melbourne Football Club are a club within the MCC umbrella then I believe the other teams are the real tenants. Would love someone to clarify the roll of the trust/MCC if possible.
  15. Your right. It's OUR home ground. The rest are just tennants and those team supporters have trouble understanding that - especially the "filth".

    Not too sure of the date (around 2010) I decided to play at Royal Pines on the Gold Coast. Had paid and was waiting to join a group when the pro came up and said let them go and I have put you with the next group. No problems as the Japanese group left and I joined up with the next group. Well I was really happy ( I was wearing a MFC logo shirt) as he joined me up with Jeff White. What a day. By god he could hit a ball.
  17. Hope she grows into that department. lol
  18. MCG for most home games. Spare me.

    We seem to be the best team around at handling concussion. Same treatment (if similar problem) with Angus will give KK the best outcome and a real boost to our outside running.

    Gee Terry Wallace. Two of our trades into "best team" and you can still only find us a C+. This team on their day could pummel anyone. Really looking forward to next season.
  21. MT64 replied to beelzebub's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Why would they have an input to the fixture?????
  22. Has Tinker Bell still got the gig???? Well maybe the Freo board is complicate in this pathetic episode as well or JUST MAYBE the AFL made a phone call.
  23. Watched it yesterday and got so rapt up in the chaos footy again I just had to watch the Whorethorn match as well. Vodka/tonic took a hit and the neighbours very understanding with the noise level.

    No not that long with the MCC. It's with the MFC (footy club) 60 years. In our group we have a few 50 year + MCC members and yes they only pay $15.00. Importantly ALL of my group are also footy club members.

    My initial anger at your ILL INFORMED comments has subsided and realize that your comments are just plain stupid. One only has to see the scarf's in the reserve with both MCC/MFC signs. This season coming up I shall be 60 years a member of the MFC. I'm still shaking my head at your comments and if you read many comments on DL you would realize many are MCC members.
