At the risk of being shot down in flames, I have had it on good authority that there is a big announcement from the MFC next week.

At this stage, that's all I've got - I'm sorry. So, because of that, does anyone have any SERIOUS thoughts on what this could be. I have been told it has nothing to do with players, it is considerably higher up than that.

Sorry folks, it's all I can get. I've never been the rumor-starting type, just thought I'd pass on "something" that I have heard. Can't even name the source. Sounds like a bullsh!t thread, but we'll see what happens.

Sorry belzebub59, if you re-read my post it clearly states that it is higher up than player management, so that will eliminate the "cost of a pie" question and the draft & players concern. If you also re-read my post, I state that what I have put in the original post is all that I have. This is a quote from the email that I have received...

"Have you heard anything about the MFC? Something is going on. A fella came in today - very up on the club - and said there is something huge happening but he wouldn't tell me what!! Sworn to secrecy. Said that all would be known within the week."

While my post has minimal substance, I did ask if anyone had any SERIOUS opinions on what it could be. Again, I'm happy to apologise for wasting peoples time if nothing is announced, but thought I'd share it with you all anyway. Atleast if there is news, I can say you heard "it" from me first - just a shame I can't tell you what "it" is!!!

im melbournes number 1 draft pick folks! you heard it here first ;)

That will depend on how you play for the combined Demon websites team on Sunday mate.

Sorry to put you under pressure but I believe that several recruiting scouts from a number of AFL clubs will be there to watch the game.

I would suggest that's why this story is in the "news pending" box until after the weekend.

Cheers,

WJ

PS: That applies to the rest of you blokes (and the lady in the team)!

PPS: Have you nominated for the draft yet? :rolleyes:

I heard something about some kind of social event or something a few weeks ago from someone who works at the club. They said it was going to be an EPIC club event and hopefully not too expensive for the average Jo Blow.

Whether this is the same thing or not I have no idea.

I heard a really good joke recently.

There's this bloke, pretty sure it was a bloke but might have been a chick.

Anyway, he had this really funny interaction with a second party, I can't remember the details.

It was quite humorous though!

I thought that might appeal to the original poster. ;)

Sounds to me like a sincere attempt to give us "some information". If we were in the pub - we'd probably be thanking you.

Put your money on the announcement being the jumper. If all of a sudden there is a cleanout of 2009 Jumpers with 2 new sponsors on board in their first year then it must mean we are going to see the traditional Melbourne jumper come back and not that shocking orange and dark purple thing we are wearing these days. If you go look at the merchandise on the melbournefc website you will see that the adult long sleeve and the kids gurnseys are on special but not the adult sleeveless...why is that so?

The only time that other adult jumpers were on special was if we switched sponsors or suppliers..

Expect a press conference out the front of the MCC with Jack Watts wearing the new (well actually its old) jumper i say...you heard it first!

So you have it on "good authority" and that authority according to your next post is an email you got from someone who said someone else came in and said something will be announced.

Well that is about as good an "authority" as there is.

I have heard a rumour through a usually reliable source, but I doubt what I have heard is what the OP is referring to, and similarly doubt its truth because if there were some truth to it, I would have thought it would have been mentioned here by somebody already.

Is it going to be announced that Hoopla is to run the MFC?

He's certainly good enough despite the hilarity of his posts, the man knows his football and is a better supporter of the club than Coxy!

You are getting tiresome.

Thanks Hoopla. Goes to show the level of some people on this site. In my post it quite clearly stated that I had no idea what the news is going to be, and was searching for someone else that might be closer to the Club than I to maybe give us a hint, but it still managed to bring out the idiots. For a minute I thought I actually posted it on the Magpies website.

Redleg - In regards to the "good authority", not once did I mention that I spoke directly to the person, but to put your tiny little mind at ease, the email was from my mother, and it was her (who is also a Melbourne member) that was speaking to this "good authority".

I have learned the hard way that if you put up peanuts, you will definitley attract monkeys.

Thanks for the personal abuse Billy it always amuses me when people resort to it instead of providing an intelligent answer.

By the way, lets also not let the facts get in the way of your abuse and incorrect recounting of my post. If you read my post (#17) again you will note that I acknowledged that you received an email and "never" said that you "spoke" to anyone.

My post was directed to your "good authority" who is the person who spoke to the person who emailed you and who is "up on the club" whatever that means.

A new logo perhaps? Bringing back the Demon....

That was my thoughts Harry.

Gotta be better than the crap that Brisbane Lions released.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
