In my 60 years of following this great club I cannot recall any player improving as much as Cam Pedersen has in such a short time. Loving it.

I like the current emblem and would hate to see it superseded, as would one of my sons who has it tattooed on his bicep.

RIP Ralph, you were a part of my earliest memories of the MFC and a member of the '56 flag side. A team recognised as one of the most powerful of all time.

Be nice to know why Riley was dropped, after all his debut was quite good I thought.

For Niall to suggest that MFC was in any way responsible for the downfall of LJ is disgraceful, after all we have done for Liam during and post his time here, nothing could be further from the truth. The club should ask for a retraction. Niall has learnt how to besmirch MFC from Smith and Wilson ?

The floggings that GWS are currently copping are not good for the competition, of that there is no doubt. On the other hand they do help us retain Chip and for that reason I'm reasonably comfortable with the results. Let's face it, who in their right mind would want to settle in Rugby League heartland playing for a non contender, regardless of the financial return ($cully aside of course).

Thanks for that. We haven't been a fave with the media since Northey's stint and the players will learn what a selective mob they are when we return to being contenders. Difficult times for us supporters especially when we have to put up with vindictive germs like Barrett, Denham and Russell. Incidentally I was at my old club in Ballarat last week, Northey coached them to a flag 5 years ago and I see he is coaching Learmonth in the district this year. The guy is a legend in the Ballarat area.

Thanks RF, I'm certain the increase in membership required will take care of itself should we continue to improve onfield and win more often. Out of interest, what are the qualifications for membership of the heroes club ? If the info is any way sensitive could you shoot me an email please.

Excellent Robbie, been anticipating this news for some time. The announcement can only further stabilise our club.

Club site reports Chip is a 50/50 chance for the Dogs game. Moonboot a precaution for a toe ligament injury.

Check out this tweet - Cam Mooney ‏@cam_mooney 3h Our game will forever change if Viney gets wks for his clean bump.... Can't believe it's gone this far... AFL pls have common sense on this

MRP and common sense = oxymoron.

Afternoon #23, what was your take on the Viney bump ?

Shouldn't get a job cleaning Paul's boots.

Garland looking strong according to twitter. Another good quarter from the Toump.

Time for a cameo from one of the senior listed boys.

Leading possession winner in the first half with 12, Fitzy doing well.

The win over the Crows makes it harder in many respects for border liners to crack the senior side particularly as Roos rightly seems to consider team stability important. Hope the incentive burns, looking forward to reports on today's game.

Any one at the game ?

Looking forward to reports boys.

Seems Col would be where all the action is.

My sentiments exactly Rowdy.

I'd like to see the Malthouse presser should we win.

Was there at the G that day along with 87000 plus others, enjoyed every minute and we were far the better side. Some interesting personnel in the Pies line up - Manson, Taylor and Shaw for starters, very little grey matter to share amongst those three. Shane Kerrison, now there was a dog of a bloke who compares favourably with Mitch Robinson. Enough said.
