    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
