    Toast Jesse Hogan is 2015 NAB Rising Star! Brayshaw 5th

    It's on today from 12pm. Depending on the result this thread will either be a vent-your-spleen location, or another universal Hogan love-in. Either way it should be weird.

    Toast #18 Daniel Cross announces retirement

    He may only have been at the club two years, but they were two damn fine years. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-09-02/cross-career-comes-to-an-end The club did not offer him a contract for 2016... and that has already provoked much discussion here.

    News Melbourne v Richmond ANZAC Eve

    Article in the Hun just now speaks of a joint proposal for the Dees and Tigers to play an annual, ahem, blockbuster at the MCG on ANZAC Day Eve (i.e. April 24). https://tinyurl.com/mawhn9h Your thoughts? Seems like a great concept to me.

    Injury Rodan retires following ACL rupture

    Hardly worthy of a thread given Rodan has played just 9 unspectacular matches for the Dees, but he ends his career on 185 matches at 3 clubs. Well played. He may not have really suited our on-field needs this year in the end, but we got him cheap and supposedly he has brought some off-field...

    Changes v Fremantle, Rd 21 2013

    This is going to be ugly. Not sure who we have to bring in at this stage... Nicholson an out you would think. Strauss could miss with that broken nose too which would be unfortunate. I think we will need another tall for Freo's forwards assuming Pav plays.

    Mega Thread Judgement Day has passed... "It is what it is", but what is it?

    And so it comes down to this. Today the MFC board meets ostensibly to decide Mark Neeld's future, or lack thereof, as our coach. Will he survive? Is it already decided? Who should replace him? What have you been told by your mate's uncle's gardener? Should we storm the meeting and sack the board...
