    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

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
