A big THANKS to Anthony Bergin

Haven't seen anything on here yet regarding the bloke who handed Sean Wight's #27 playing jumper to the MFC recently. Seems a young Anthony Bergin (a Geelong supporter) talked his Mum into buying it at an auction back in 1987. Anthony has taken good care of it all these years and, with Sean's passing, saw fit to give the jumper to the MFC.

I just reckon it is a wonderful gesture, and we here on this supporters' forum should acknowledge it as such.

So, well done, and thanks, Anthony!

(Just hope he doesn't feel any sense of ingratitude on the part of the Club if the Mighty Dees turn the tables on his Cats this weekend! :lol: )

    I totally agree with all those sentiments Barrie. Thanks for bringing the gesture to our attention.

    Thats a great gesture. Thank you Anthony. If you are at the game I hope we can play in the spirit that Sean would have and make it a classic match.

    I certainly hope that is a winning omen for this weekend....Thankyou Anthony...Sean's spirit will now be that little bit stronger within the MFC.

    It is a great gesture.

    Was fortunate to attend the President's Lunch last week against Hawthorn and when Jim Stynes presented the jumper to the room it was a touching moment as was the video package paying tribute to Sean Wight. I know there was a lot of tears in the room especially when Jim was overcome with emotion during his speech. Even friends in my group who don't barrack for Melbourne had tears in their eyes.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
