A good mate of mine, known as The Professor, has just racked up his 50th year in a row as a member of the Melbourne Football Club. He is also a member of the MCC and pays for a FULL MFC membership

The 50 years in a row has been acknowledged by the Club with a small cardboard certificate.

Are they kidding????

Am I wrong to think The Professor should have received something a little more than a pizzy little cardboard certificate.

How many punters would get to 50 years in a row as a member of any Football Club. Very very few.

Surely the Club could do a wee bit better.

Rant Over

    Deserves the new Jack Watts showbag coming out this year.

    More than that he deserves some sort of medallion and a free gin and tonic,next time he visits the members.A cheroot even.

    But dont hold your breathe,you will probably sufficate.

    At least a special scarf with 50 years embroided in gold leaf.

    And a years supply of Panadeine.

    I suspect he should have his mental capability checked out.

    Half a century of continuous membership!

    Quite obviously there is something amiss here.

    Perhaps free admittance for life and afternoon tea which is what the MCC give their 50 year members.

    I'm guessing the recipient is not whinging as he is a fair dinkum Demon.

    My uncle notched up 50 years as a full AFL member recently - Saved $60 on his grand final ticket but that's about it I think

    I never knew AFL memberships had been around for 50 years.

    Last I looked (which was a couple of years ago) it was about $15 per year for 50 year MCC members. Not far off free though.

    I think cardboard is a fitting representation of what MFC have served up.

    Three replies from old die hards that only have 145 years between them.

    Actually I would have had 50 years if not for my employment overseas.

    Women used to love a man (boy) in uniform.

    It doesn't matter these days. They just don't give a toss.

    Just a small amount of humour PD

    If someone has been a member of the MFC for 50 years they most likely have the best sense of humour going around.

    I have been a supporter since 1960 so that makes makes 64 years

    but did not become a member till I came to live in Melbourne in the early 70's

    Then I got in a huff a couple of times and let my membership lapse.

    I quite often think I am a few cents short in the dollar especially over the last nine years.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
