Gday Guys

Just a question to those who attend the Presidents lunch. I've never attended before but have been invited this week through a mate. I've been told to dress smart casual with a collar. I don't like to get to dressed up at the footy so just wondering If jeans and a polo shirt is acceptable? Also what can I excpect on the day?

Cheers

 

Shirt and a demons tie. You're not going to the footy you are going to an official lunch!

no sure about denim.!!!


The official dress code "Smart casual, collar required", but im not sure that they are terribly strict on the dress code. I have never seen anyone turned down anyway and i've often warn my bomber jacket without issue.

Jimmy Stynes will be speaking after one of the most crucial weeks in the clubs history over the last 5 decades.

Put a suit on and feel honoured to be in the room tomorrow mate.

he will be speaking at a president's lunch on sunday round 7 v adelaide. a day where our young team will try and take a small step forward in obtaining 4 premiership points.

what is more important ? the small battle, or the bigger picture..the war itself.

yeah, crucial.

i think it is very important for the club to come out strong tomorrow, Yes the big picture is the ultimate goal, but we must also start planning for today as well as the future.

Will be fascinating to hear what the big man says.


If you turn up in jeans you'll be under dressed. Wear a proper shirt amf some slacks.

Note I said wear a demons tie. The tie wasn't meant as a fashion statement, it was your corporate supporter gear...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Shirt & slacks It is, def not wearing a tie.. Very excited about today! Go you Demons!

i to have got a gig to this lunch for the first time through some casey connections. i am quite excited but really all i want is for the team to turn up to play.

Been a few times. Felt over dressed in a suit. it's about 50/50 for jeans, and I pay them to go. It's a great day out at the footy. We have never lost when I have been to a lunch so fingers crossed.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
