    Never used to missed an AGM in the bad old days but at this time of year it’s a tough ask to turn up to a meeting at the G after a hard day’s work. Especially when Garry Lyon’s on tv and taking wickets.

      No doubt it will get it's own thread, but this is great acknowledement of a dedicated loyal servant of the club and his comunity.  Very glad the club has extended this honour to Nev.

    100% Rodney.  Neville is not only a great footballer and a great person, but he is an outstanding ambassador for our Club, the game and his people.

    ...ok, or the renaming of an existing one.

    How about renaming the tread to  "The Neville Jetta is a total bloody legend of the MFC adoration thread"?

    Has Peter Jackson been made a Life Member previously? If not, I hope it is offered to him sooner rather than later. I think we are all indebted to him. 

    He was there last night LDC.

    I felt there was a definitive club strategy led by Jackson to avoid using "the Dee's" in his speeches or media engagements. It was heavily focused on using "Melbourne" when referring to the club, playing group and even us as members and supporters. I'm sure it was with the intent of re-connecting the club to the city by name and therefore grow our membership and branding that way.

    Pert however has been the "Dee's" this-and-that since his arrival.

    For formal events and other high profile media, I would like Pert to follow PJ's lead and refer to us as the "Melbourne Football Club."

    We are MELBOURNE...  is as bad as "We are Carlton, and F#%^^ the rest.

     

    It has the same thin division line between arrogance and failure...  as the Blues suffered from under Elliot...  eventually sent them into a tail-spin they have not yet recovered from.

     

    The danger is we isolate ourselves as blue blooded toffs...   distancing ourselves from the every day footy supporter out in the burbs.  Norm Smith would be churning in his grave, with any arrogance about the club.

    Pert spoke really well. He is seeking advice and ideas from “Melbourne” people before he stamps his operational style into the job. 

    We will once again be a Big Club” where we always should have stayed. I have no doubt. 

    “Get the kids on board before they turn 9...”

    100,000 members within 5-10 years can be achieved with winning footy, played the right way

    • 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.
