Hey everyone,

My grandad, an avid Melbourne supporter since returning from national service in WWII is turning 90 this weekend! I'm trying to arrange for the MFC to send him a card/letter to wish him well (ideally signed by Jimmy) on his birthday. He's blind and quite deaf so I thought this was the best gift he could organise for him and I know he would be very chuffed.

I sent the club an email through the [email protected] last week (and a follow up email yesterday) but have yet to hear anything from them. Was just wondering if anyone knew of a better way to contact the club, or who would be the best person in the club to contact about this.

Thanks a million

p.s drop me an email at [email protected] if you prefer

    Great initiative Ascobar. I hope our team can put up a mighty performance for grandad on the weekend! I'd try a tweet to Schwabby, if you can cover the essentials in such a short message.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll see how it goes :)

    Best of luck and hope he ends up with smiles on his face.

    A win & a gift.

    Well done young man.

    Could posters please refrain from posting private email addresses without the consent of the intended recipients please.

    It should be sufficient to address the club through the website but not private email addresses or phone numbers unless requested.

    In this case it seems that the club has responded positively and we hope that all 90 year old Demons are well rewarded and get lots of enjoyment from our great club.

    Thanks everybody.

    Agree.

    I was surprised to see that email address pop up.

    Completely inappropriate.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • 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.
