Heritage, Players Lockers - Twitter

I can't describe how proud I am of our club - The job Jimma and Cam Schwab are leading is absolutely fantastic and is what the MFC is all about.

Here is one little but very very nice little touch they added to the lockers courtesy of #2 N. Jones (who himself seems v. proud of our great old club)

check them out very cool

 

Thats awesome!

It is about time that the heritage and traditions that this great club are built on start to mean more to our current players

I think this is fantastic and don't want to devalue it in any way...

But isn't this par for the course these days in AFL changerooms?

Yes it is. Nevertheless it's important.

I like the write up they've done (looks as though it's on the inside left of the locker), which gives some brief insight into the history of each number. As opposed to the inside right panel of all the previous player's to have worn that number.

I agree - the write up is something i've not noticed before.

Very nice touch.

The names/numbers are par for the course. The narrative most certainly isn't.

Yep. But it is this exact facet of the sport - that of culure - that the MFC has needed to bring back!! There's a long way to go, but all the guys working for the MFC headed by the inspiring Jimmy and the driven/motivated/experienced Cam Schwab have done an excellent job in getting it all underway. :)

I have to say our club isn't doing much wrong at the moment, it is only a matter of time when the performance on the field will catch up to the performance off it.

 

Just noticed we had a player called Algernon Millhouse don the No.2 in 1913.

Best name ever?

Yep and shows exactly how far behind we've been in even getting to this point. But it starts somewhere and the club, Jim, Cam etc etc are doing such a great job...

The narrative is great and will help exemplify to young players how much of a rich history we have.

The old lockers only had players names who had played 100 games on them. I think it is great to have the history with the name of every player & years played.

I think it will also be good for those who start with a "high" number to see others who also started with a "high" number. In the past, not too many players names would be on high number lockers because not too many played 100 games with that number. e.g. Jim's 37

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
