McDonalds @ MFC

Not the food establishment, but I was wondering how long (continuously) has a McDonald been on the MFC list.

I think it is since 1995, or thereabouts. Can anyone with a thirst for research find out? Have there been other continuous surnames with such a time period? Smith would have a chance.

Also how far back do we go before a McDonald was not named in the team? Perhaps when Junior did his hamstring in his last year...

    Don't forget all the hungry jacks. Lost a few to Port Adelaide but Viney is still tracking for round 1.

    Strictly speaking there would have been a few weeks in 2010 after James McDonald was delisted (contracts end on 31 October) and Tom McDonald was drafted on 18 November 2010.

    very observant and caters to my pedantic nature! I see that as continuous based on each year on list. Does anyone know how far back McDonalds go? Surely we have an amateur historian amongst us.

    "Kroc's first McDonald's restaurant opened on April 15, 1955, at 400 North Lee Street in Des Plaines, Illinois, near Chicago."

    Surely we count in seasons. If Junior was on the list in 2010 and TMac came on board in 2011 then that counts as consecutive time I reckon.

    Anthony McDonald started in 1997, so I'd say we've had a McDonald on the list every season since then.

    It's probably fair to say that Viney was the only Hungry Jack... the rest were more Wimpy than Hungry Jacks.

    Joel MacDonald was with us at the end of 2009.

    Oops - missed Dees in Oct post above.

    I hate to do this but if the Ginger Ninja had a decent boot on him we also have a red rooster.

    Sorry - it was actually Springvale Rd and High St Rd Glen Waverley- that store you mentioned was built much later as it was a BP Petrol Station at that time. (I grew up in the area).

    Yes, you're correct. I lived off High St in Malvern and remember hitching eastwards to Monash Uni down High St nearly 'all the way', turning right at McDonalds. That was a very long time ago. Anyway, thanks for the 'refresh'. :mellow:

    thanks Dees in October. So that makes it 21 years and still going. Does Smith get close?

    I really hope we maintained a good relationship with Joel MacDonald when he left the club. The company he founded, GetSwift, last week announced a deal with Amazon and the shares skyrocketed. His personal wealth is now about $150 million. I'd like to see GetSwift as a sponsor of the club!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
