Excellent Article in the Age

This read really makes me emotional. I hope that Jimmy will pull through this, and I know that he is most likely to, and he is the man that will lead this club to its greatest glories since the '60s, and no sentement will be forgotten on this great ruckman that grabbed the club by the scruff of its neck and dragged it out of its darkest era and in to its new era of greatness. We will love you forever Jimmy.

At times I've probably taken for granted that The Age has devoted a journalist to the Melbourne Football Club this year. It's been terrific to have a yearful of positive media directed at the Dees. Can you imagine the uproar on here if Flanagan had been posted to Collingwood this year? We'd be using the paper as fish and chip wrappers. In an era where we've found it difficult to get our 'brand' out there, it has got to be a huge plus. Who knows exactly what this translates to in terms of supporters gained or public perception, but it's certainly a positive and I'm thankful to The Age for it.


For a dual wooden spoon winner our club has been getting a lot of positive press lately. If there are people at the club pulling these strings they deserve a pat on the back.

I agree.

I also think it would be nice if he was embedded with us again next year to write about what we hope will be vastly different seasons.

Martin was with us in our dark days, he should stay to see us emerge into the light that we can now see at the end of the tunnel.

Well summed-up AD. Great article.


just on a different side of things, what was his wife Sam wearing for the night....talking about under dressed

I hope we can keep Martin Flanagan involved within the club. A Fine Writer. He paints pictures the way older generation journalists did before Television.

We must keep him....

He writes about our (hopefully! ;)) positive future, without forgetting our rich history. It's what the Melbourne Football Club is about.

  • 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.
