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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
