What does the Melbourne Football Club stand for?

What do we believe in?

I think Barrassi, Stynes and Trengove are the shining lights that encapulate the principles of the MFC.

I believe in Determination!

    i would love to know why Trengove is the one you have pulled out of a hat, what about the bloke who (was) VC, lifelong demon currently leading our B+F

    and I don't think it is possible to have a better attitude than what Jones has

    oh that's right they're too old to get any praise around here

    Is cynicism your only trait C&B? Never an original offering?

    unlike your good self whose 'offering' appears to be discussion about other posters. Nobody cares what you think about that

    it's a day of idiotic statements today, and my pet peave is people perpetually talking up 18 year olds purely vecause they are 18 and haven't had to time to diappoint us yet

    the unblievable irony that seems to be lost on just about everyone is that Nathan Jones was destined to be a club champion when he was 18 but he is now as popular as everyone else that is aboe 21, the redheaded stepson

    Jones is a young champion, maybe our next captain.

    He has all the attributes that typify what the MFC stand for.

    I 'especially' like the way trengove goes about it.

    geez you must throw the word champion around quite often

    luv the way jonesy goes about it, he aint a champion tho, most likely never will be

    agree he does have attributes that others lack and I would consider him to be in our top 8 performed players for the year

    I never understand the "What does the club stand for" questions, I hear it in a media a bit, and it makes no sense to me.

    There is no unique Melbourne Spirit. Certain players have spirit, but there is nothing about any AFL club that makes it special and different from the other 16. Barracking for a team is not like choosing to be a capitalist or a communist, or a Jew or Muslim, I don’t know anyone that has chosen a team based on political or spiritual ideology. Support normally stems from some random reason (Dad did is mine), but that doesn't make me have certain principals, and act like a ‘Melbourne Person’. I would share as many values as the average Collingwood or West Coast supporter as I would a Melbourne supporter, same with the players.

    What do we stand for? MFC are a professional AFL side trying to win a premiership.

    "I Believe"

    I believe for every drop of rain that falls

    A flower grows,

    I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

    A candle glows,

    I believe for everyone who goes astray,

    Someone will come to show the way,

    I believe, I believe.

    I believe above the storm a smallest prayer

    Will still be heard,

    I believe that someone in the great somewhere

    Hears every word,

    Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,

    Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,

    Then I know why,

    I believe.

    Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
