McNamee admitted he was "mortified" when he learned six weeks ago that the current players were not invited to the dinner.

Having addressed that oversight, he was hopeful the players could listen and learn from their predecessors' camaraderie and achievements, and forge their own history.

Sorry can't get the link going, but my god what in the hell are we running here. Imagine people paying to go on saturday night and being told sorry no current players are here. They weren't invited. Get Jim Stynes in there now. Not inviting the current players to the dinner. If the players are ever going to learn about the legends we had at melbourne especially from the older players who played in the 50's and 60's it will be this weekend. They need to learn about the history and all the success we had back then. McNamee must be thinking who in the hell runs this club. He has a lot of work to do.

Imagine Collingwood having a night like this and not inviting there cureent team. get it together melbourne!!

    Where in the world did you hear this? I'm paying $500 dollars for a table, the extra $150 coming just to get a player on my table.

    on an article on the MFC site too...

    don't stress 45hotgod... McNamee couldn't believe they weren't attending, and has rectified the situation...

    I'm doubting whether this was ever the situation

    Well he said he learned six weeks ago that current players weren't invited. That means Neitz wouldn't have been invited, right? Surely not.

    Then read the quotes attributed to our CEO on our site.

    Show me where he states "The players weren't invited, i was mortified about it and so i addressed the problem." There is no direct quote from him saying this.

    I vividly remember round 3 talking about going to the dinner, before McNamee came on board, and thinking about whether it was worth the money to have a player at the table.

    you may not get a current player at your table... you're just as likely to get one of the 150 heroes to host your table instead...

    Really? Then why would they ask you to nominate?

    This is how it was explained to me by MFC.

    No problem. I think this is pretty clear:

    "McNamee admitted he was "mortified" when he learned six weeks ago that the current players were not invited to the dinner.

    Having addressed that oversight, he was hopeful the players could listen and learn from their predecessors' camaraderie and achievements, and forge their own history."

    Perhaps you were mistakenly thinking that your ticket would guarantee a current player on your table, as opposed to a 'hero'? It seems that current players weren't invited back in round 3.

    Hopefully not a dead one.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
