At an MFC function launching the President's Club tonight Jimmy Stynes said he wants to make 4 announcements before the start of the season:

(i) the deal with Casey Council;

(ii) an agreement with the Melbourne Cricket Club re the future;

(iii) the club's major sponsor (up to the last week there were about 3 options including dual sponsors, now a couple more have emerged); and

(iv) the #1 ticket holder.

Should be an interesting 2 to 3 weeks ahead.

    re 4 - Would Trish Broadbridge be a possible - model citizen , and would relate to youth

    Regarding the number 1 ticket holder i would not be suprised if thats where Hamish Blake comes into the picture :)

    Can't wait for both the mcc/Mfc deal to be announced, and also for the major sponsor/s. Also have to agree Hamish could just well be the number one ticket holder.

    Would like to read he will have 4 announcements not wants to.

    No 1 ticket holder Diamond Joe

    I sincerely hope that Hamish Blake is NOT our number 1 tickets holder.

    Someone that actually knows SOMETHING about the game, and perhaps does SOMETHING to actively promote the club would be better.

    Stynes said at Youth Summit that Blake would definitely not hold this role as Hamish felt uncomfortable in this role being a casual supporter.

    Which I'd say is fair enough. Good on him for agreeing to help out at all if thats the case.

    What are the chances that most of that will be announced on the Footy Show? 5-4.

    The other important announcement that Cameron Schwab spoke about at the AGM was a deal with the Melbourne City Council that would involve Red and Blue all over the CBD.

    Does anybody know what's happening with this?

    Was thinking the same thing, big exposure on the night for us, oh well, one can hope.

    This is all sounding good. What else happened at the meeting last night? I am considering joining the Presidents club, what better way to keep in touch with the workings of the club than to be able to speak personally to the El Presidente every fortnight.

    We're two-thirds of the way through the month and two out of four are ticked off:

    (iii) major sponsor (x 2!!) = Hankook and Kaspersky Lab

    (iv) #1 ticketholder = RD Barassi

    Hope there's announcements on (i) and (ii) before the month's out.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
