Under AD absolutely no doubt he wanted us to survive under his tenure. However, things change .... we have a new leader and on Gilligans island the rules have changed.

If you think it all comes down to on-field success you clearly dont understand the landscape we live in. Sure on-field success will help but it wont save the MFC on its own.

I actually know the opposite the AFL have a very low respect for the MFC .... only time will tell is we can turn that around.

Geez, can you blame them?? We've given them five years of games nobody attends, and neither broadcaster wants to broadcast.

Surely the only thing working in our favour would be the low respect for Essendon. At least they have a healthy membership number!

    It is simple. The MFC starts winning games

    The stadiums fill & the wheels turn

    It is all about winning games and respect.

    The club is well set up if they can get the players to deliver

    when the wheel turns and our club wins 10 more games, another club will lose approx 10 more games.

    winning more games for the Mfc won't help the AFL.

    Winning clubs are the problem, that its the same clubs winning the majority. & the vfl/afl have then done the wrong thing all along in letting the stronger clubs carry the can for the competition, & so gave them all the best times & venues, worsening the problems instead of doing the opposite & sharing the cake. evening up the comp' & the gate.

    the power clubs are the comps antithesis. they won't let other clubs share the spoils. just like the clubs wouldn't sort it out years back, so the commission was created. & what did they do?

    status quo.

    nobody wants to watch losers

    That won't change.

    DL what you wish the AFL to be will not happen

    Bingo

    Re Essendon - short bump in the road for the Bombers all will be forgotten soon. They are still a Big5 power house club and they will be around for many, many years to come.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
