Steven Smith to be next MCC President

Featured Replies

That is unequivocally good news.

A true Demon who stood by us in tough times.

Had his jaw broken behind play by the thug Mathews.

A loyal servant of the club as they say and to this day I see him at every MCG game.

This can only be good for us.

I was about 20 metres away from that incident pit. It was one of Mathews greatest [censored] acts. A dead set king hit.

 

Steven is a great guy and a family friend. As a kid he used to get me into the rooms at the MCG after games to meet the team. He also got my a footy signed by the entire 1994 team. He really loves the Dees and to this day attends every match and keeps in contact with those inside the club.

His appointment can only be a good thing for us. Good luck to him with the new position! Go Dees!

Cannot surely be bad for the MFC though his director's rôle could require him to declare conflicts of intrest in matters relating to MFC. At very least he should ensure that we are not screwed at any stage.

 

One of my favorite dees player. Was great at fb. Was killing Matthews the day LM king hit him with ball miles away (and smithy looking toward ball)

Peter Giles and Neville Bruns say hi.

Why was this incident just glossed over? I was there that day. As far as I'm concerned Leigh Matthews is a thug, not any different from the drunken thugs who punch out night club patrons. For those of you who think Jeff Garlett committed a great crime by not informing the MFC of his full history just keep in mind his so-called sin was a sin of omission, not the cold-blooded sin of thuggery, or let's just call it what is really is, ASSAULT. Yet in AFL folklore Leigh Matthews is a heroe. Give me a friggin break!!!

The Giles incident happened in front of me as a kid.

Have detested LM ever since. Is a sign of the times when a thug like that is in demand as a commentator!

IIRC, Steve is also the answer to a truly trivial piece of trivia, namely: "who was the 1st Little League participant to play VFL seniors?"

I was behind the goals with my Steven Smith duffel coat on.

Had to look past the goal umpire ,Matthews and Smith to see the play.

Might've been 25m.

As you said, dead set king hit.

Couldn't believe the goal ump "didn't see it".

I think lovely Leigh got about three of our guys over the years with king hits behind the play, and no official ever saw anything as usual. And we never laid a glove on him as I remember things.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
