Not a weekly mission statement, but a kind of list of virtues or creeds that will last for the existence of our club.

If we do have them, where is it, where can i see it, where can I read it. I doubt it even exists?

Example.

MFC Creed

1. The MCG is our home

2. MFC only play in the Red and Blue and the Grand Old Flag is our song

3. Alway play to win

4. Loyalty to Club Captains and Club Champions

5. Always put the club before the individual

and so on.

Carve these 'rules' in stone and mount it on the walls of the MCG. A monument to the MFC ideology.

And dont give me, 'we will be the hardest team to play against', because it is not true.

How old are you 12?

The AFL Control the game now, they determine where we play, they determine who we play and they also insist that we have an away strip.

So what would you suggest? Perhaps we just turn up at the MCG instead of Etihad or Darwin and just forfeit the game; that sound right to you?

I guess we should offer Green another 3 year contract because he's a club champion, maybe 5 to Moloney at whatever he want's a year as well; another club champion.

If you have any suggestions try something with a bit of thought behind it not some Father Christmas wish list.

 

Actually, I would give Club champions or Captains the respect to retire when THEY see fit. It dosnt mean we have to play them in the seniors or pay them above award wages, but I think if they want to be involved in the playing group, they should be allowed.

And, whats wrong with having a MFC idealogy set in stone at the MCG.

You fellas really have a chip on your shoulder. Maybe I hit a raw nerve.

 

In response to miles from nowhere.

My vision:

-Strengthen ties with mcc to an extent where we can use the mcg as our training base and guarantee our financial future and increase our influence over the afl.

-Create an MFC creed or constitution.

-Aggressively target a proven premiership coach for 2013 which will boost morale, membership and sponsorship.

I would love to implement this vision, if I had the support.

You clearly dont.

We will try to locate a crane to help you get down from your horse.

So you'd still have Junior, Robbo, White Yze on the list? None of them wanted to retire and we had to push them out. The respect you'd give them is to retain them on the list, preventing us recruiting new talent, but you'd disrespect them by playing them every week at Casey?

Do you ever give any thought to any post; perhaps before you post next time, read it and if it doesn't make sense, delete it.

I don't speak for others but I'm sure if you had any ideas that were worthy of looking at you'd get some support but as I said a Father Christmas wish list is just plain childish.

Perhaps you should read this before you post again.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
