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

I just received my MFC/MCC membership pack, including my 2015 Platinum Membership card for 52 years consecutive membership. I don't expect anything from the club except the same success the club was

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.

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.

Agreed! However we are a [censored] weak club! That is one of the reasons why!

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.

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.

maybe a year's supply of biffo's orange label viagra?

c'mon biffo, with all your profits it's a drop in the ocean

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.

Your credibility hangs on your reason for being os oinka!

Or

Were you in uniform, serving your country, and sh agging foreign women?

Well done!

BTW which role attracted the most sh ags?

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
