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

50 years straight as a member is huge

The least the club could do is give the poor bloke a premiership!

Is it possible that this guy is the curse?

He has wasted much of his life.

His sanity must also come into question.

The club needs to cut all ties with this man immediately.

For his own benefit.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate, having got that out of the way no one should expect anything from any amount of years whether it be 10, 50 or whatever, I'm sure he has enjoyed the rollercoaster,the club owes you nothing....

Club needs to provide free counselling for pain & suffering...

Goes to show how far off the mark the club has been in the last 50yrs in getting things right across all departments...

No reflection on current regime, but recognition of milestone members would not be the highest thing on their list....

I have received my 50th year recognition a certificate and a pin. I really appreciate the acknowledgement.

I'm a believer in the famous words of JFK ... "ask not what my country do for me but what I can do for my country"

We're all different and that's fair enough.

I would have loved to have seen a premiership by now though.

It's amazing that all us old supporters don't have a drinking problem.

I don't have a drinking problem, it's getting enough to drink is the problem.

I can hear a groan from some seriously OLD DEEs

Know the feeling PD, as we get older we don't drink any more.

Or any less.

I certainly don't drink any more or less and there will be no New Years resolution to change.

I am still looking forward to enjoying a 2002 bottle of Robbie Flower, signature collection Rare Old Tawny Port when the dees make the finals.

I won't save it for a premiership as the port would probably remain unopened in my lifetime.

I can go one better... I got the Ron Barassi returns to the Dees signature collection port 1981.

nutbean I hope it is Tawny because if it is Vintage port it will be dead in the bottle.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
