Forget the AFLX, this is a real news story.

Well done to Nev, Matthew Whelan and the club.

    Matty Whelan was another courageous player much like Nev that I admired on the feild, who also seems to work away quietly doing his thing behind the scenes at the club without alot of public reconition.  I get a sense that he has now been a great influence on several generations of indigenous players at the MFC  (and probably non indigionous as well).  First with Flash in his playing days and now with Nev and others as well.  It's fantastic when past players can return to the fold and make such positive contributions back into the club.

    What a great and much deserved honour to bestow upon Nev.  I'm guessing there wouldn't be many MFC players who have played a similar number of games to have received life membership in their playing days.

    Such a good role model and story of perseverance, courage and humility.  A fan favorite by many accounts for good reason and I'm guessing that making presenting him with life membership will be well supported by all the MFC faithful.

    Well earned recognition for Nev to be awarded life membership.

    He's not given his due kudos by the rest of the competition, but Dees members know his true value.

    One of the best role models this club has had in a very long time, up there with big Jim!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
