57 MFC V 64 MFC NUMBER PLATES

To follow a side that wins more than we lose and regularly plays finals is my wish before I pass on.

The rest is I think Pie in the sky.

That'd be a vast improvement on the present. Regular finals would be lovely in my dotage. But a pie in the sky would be great eating.

    It would be a bugger to get the sauce on it, though ... :blink:

    I pulled up behind a car at the lights in Woodvale(suburb of Perth) and was pleased to see I had one mate at least in this city as his number plate read 64 MFC. My plates are 57 MFC. I always thought that 1957, the third of a hat trick of premierships was the best. It was also unique in that we were surprisingly beaten in the 2nd semi by Essendon. A crushing win over the Hawks and a big win over the Bombers in the GF was perfect payback. However, while I reckoned on my 1957 plate being superior I started to ponder over the 1964 one. Sadly, in view of our lot this one represents our LAST premiership. Maybe it is more famous than my 1957 one. Thoughts?

    I managed to fluke the plates MFCDEE...was wrapped & still am! Certainly nice to have a premiership year though!

    No, it was not a silver Toyota but a bright red ute with P plates. (I am not good at brands). It was definitely 64 MFC. Better check your plates! There couldn't be two 64 MFC plates!

    The number plate I saw was 64 MFC. No zero and the MFC came second. So yours is different with the MFC first and a zero before the 6. Cheers mate.

    Was parked at the shops today (south of Perth) and the car next to mine had plates "287 MFC" with the MFC emblem between the numbers and letters. Nice looking plates, wonder if the owner posts here.

    Reading this thread reminds me of a friend's MFC supporting family;her dad bought a bottle of red during Grand Final week in 1988 to celebrate the win.Of course we all know that didn't happen so he put it away in a cupboard to drink when Melbourne did win a flag.He has since passed on but his surviving wife and daughters plan on drinking the bottle when we do win one.

    By that stage it might well be red wine vinegar!

    How do I know you will be in Heaven?

    Easy you have already gone through half a century of hell as a MFC supporter.

    The Big woman up stairs will be kind to you.

    I imagine the critical mass of demons there will allow Hell to be successful in the rights bidding. And the replays will always melt at the 30 minute mark of a 10 goal last quarter.

    A straw poll: How many here on D'Land have MFC-related plates? I am one (though I, like many, will prefer to sit on the specifics, to keep my anonimity).

    I was at the 64 Premiership and have MFC 16 number plates because of John Townsend who played in that Final. Our latest number 16 Dean Kent looks like he could be a player in the ilk of John Townsend and help us towards that next elusive premiership before those of us that can remember pass on.

    Help me, please. Does the number '287' have any significance? If so, what might it represent? (I appreciate that it might be relevant to the owner of the car, such as birthday on 28 July. But if it has some MFC relevance, I'd be interested in knowing what that might be.) Any suggestions?

    I'm the proud owner of MFC plates but due to my desire to maintain anonimity I can't reveal the number.

    I think you will find the current count is now 8. Including one anonymous.

    Yep, that's the point, the 2 for Tulip and the 87 for 1987.

    My straw poll was just about 'Landers, Robert (Are you RDMcK I, II, III or IV (or V?) btw?) not, for example, the subject of your OP or the mysterious '287' (unless they turn out to be part of the brethren - 'fess up guys/girls if you are!)

    Robert Davis McKenzie 111. As Bob McKenzie once said, "It's a pretty fancy name for a boy from Prahran" Also interesting that his chief rival for best half forward flanker was Bob Davis of Geelong. Robert Davis to be correct.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
