I was at the Chairman's Lunch and I can honestly say that Jimmy had me ready to run through walls for the club. His passion for the club was there for all to see and I believe the difference between Jim and Paul Gardiner is Jims ability to inspire supporters. If you get a chance to listen to him talk I highly recommend it.

    He is an inspiring person leading the club, and is off to a great start. What he needs is people. People of Goodwill. Kevin Sheedy often talked about what makes a great and prosperous club. He often said how important just people helping out from all areas of the club, bring together and lay the foundations for a great club. What Jim has done has brought together to the board areas of expertise that will provide the building blocks and the pillars of strength for the club. Much like the 'queen bees'. But now these 'queen bees' need lots and lots of working bees, and bees that support the 'hive' to help provide more structure and strength, so the club will not only thrive but survive.

    It's not anyone particular aspect of the club but everyone including the football department needs to advance and take some steps towards a more positive outcome and maintain that.

    Onya Jimmy!

    One of the things he said was:

    "We are looking into the opportunities Casey and the new Olympic park Development bring - our aim is to have state-of-the-art facilities for our team, but we need to be able to afford them"

    A recurrent payment of $500k (rumoured figure for rent at the bubbledome) would service a considerable loan for MFC's own faciltities at Casey Fields (as well as the Council probably contributing to the capital development costs). It's worth considering.

    There is only one way to express my feelings toward Big Jimmy and that, my friends, is in song

    " I got chills, they're multiplying and I'm losing control,

    'Cause the power your supplying IT"S ELECTRIFYING"

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
