Listening to the radio this morning they reported on a Womens Big Bash game played last night at Casey Fields.

Is that "our" Casey fields?

I assumed we no longer had the cricket pitch issues. Hard centre square area etc

Different oval D_J. Hence the Casey Fields. 

Australian Rules Football on the Main oval. 

Premier Cricket played on Ovals 3 & 4 etc. 

"In addition to the VFL Oval, Casey Fields has four other ovals which are used for Australian rules football in winter and cricket in summer. "

I think I'm right in saying he was a mature age recruit.

Played his first game at 23 IIRC

First AFL game at 25 years old. https://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/S/Shane_McAdam.html

Played in WAFL and SANFL before that.

I know I could easily google this, but anyone know how many B&F's Viney has won?

Reckon he's going to add to that list this year.

Viney has won 1 in 2016. Has been runner up 3 times

A couple needed some serious thought lol.

Doesn't qualify.  The suburb is Craigieburn.

I guess that rules out Abe R. Feldie then.

It’s one of the great parts of AFL club culture. 

The big question is….
Did Shaun Smith, Todd Viney and Shane Woewodin all play in the same team? 

Yes they did. In fact this happened Woey Snr's first game:

Have we heard why still no Oliver? Is it just fitness based or is it something else? The lack of news is really frustrating

From the website: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1362539/round-15-team-two-inclusions-for-cats-clash

Clayton Oliver, who has spent time on the sidelines in recent weeks, will not make a return for the Thursday match, with Richardson providing an update on the midfielder.  

“Unfortunately, Clayton will miss tomorrow’s night match as he continues to rehab his hamstring,” Richardson said.  

“Clayton was close to being available for selection, but we have decided to instead take a conservative approach. It’s very likely he will be fit and ready to go for our match next week.” 

So based on Richo's comments, likely the time off legs has meant missed rehab time for the hammy.

What’s wrong with TMac? Injured again or just struggling with age?

Reckon they’re getting Hibbo cherry ripe for KB. Maybe to play on Adams. 

Ankle surgery.

Tom McDonald will spend time on the sidelines after undergoing surgery earlier today, with GM AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson providing an update on the forward.

“Tom underwent minor surgery this afternoon following some lingering ankle soreness,” Richardson told Melbourne Media."

Just for interest, how old were David Neitz and Nate Jones when they played their 150th?

From a quick check of AFL Tables both Neitz and Jones were approximately 25 years 150 days old at their 150th games.

Chunk of course only played 2 finals in his first 150, whereas Clarry has played in 8.

I got the email but no discount on the sneakers I bought for my daughter 

I couldn’t find any NB items for sale specifically for MFC members 

I think the email link may be wrong. 

I went to the club website and found this link in Supporter offers: https://www.newbalance.com.au/source-code/melbournefc/mfc/shop/

Appears to add the discount to the product, no promo code required.

All the side streets around Linton St are chockers. 

I had to walk about 5 minutes but I imagine it will get worse. 

Another option is to park at a station on the Frankston line and catch the train to Moorabbin station. 
About a 15 minute walk to Linton street.

Whilst frustrating ,I think Pert’s explanation on our future home was very well explained.In any areas that entails other stakeholders  - those conversations need  to be kept confidential..he did say that two areas had been identified with continued dialogue to continue, two area ,Caulfield and one other MPOS or MPOT, ? 
I didn’t understand the last site …Can anyone enlighten me on this, please

Another one bites the dust!!  Updated for 'Disco's' new two year contract. 

 

Club statement says he will stay on the Rookie list in 2023 and will be promoted to the Seniors in 2024.

Love your work, LH.

One point of order, Dogga is missing the cup denoting his premiership player status. 
Small oversight, but important nonetheless 🙂

Where did you see this, Jaded?  Listed as TBC in the injury report that Luci posted above.

Selwyn mentions 'soreness' in the video. 

I got 17 in 2.5 minutes.

And Chris Jones is mo down the front, I think was part of the fitness staff in late 90s' early 00s

No idea of the other 2 at the back.

Not coming to Casey?

WHAT-THUH??!!

Bunjli Place is next to Fountain Gate Narre Warren. 
Part of the City of Casey and probably easier for some down there to get to than Casey Fields. 

An absolute warrior. Built for finals.

Can we just get rid of the bye given that Melbourne is no hope of hosting the GF?

Also, Max's wife is due to give birth in September. I wonder if he'd pull the pin on the finals series to be there with his wife, given that it would be near impossible to fly in/fly out at the drop of a hat?

Regarding Max's wife giving birth, I am pretty sure he's mentioned that she is due in early November. During the Spring Racing carnival time.
